Hobart College senior Joseph Escamilla scored the game-winning goal for the Statesmen soccer team with 1:18 left in regulation to secure a 1-0 win over host Rensselaer in a Liberty League game played tonight in Troy, N.Y.
 
The Statesmen are now 6-2-4 overall and 4-0-3 in the Liberty League. The Engineers fall to 7-5-1 overall and 2-3-1 in conference play. Hobart is unbeaten in its last 10 games.

In the 89th minute, Escamilla scored his first goal of the season on a header off an assist from first-year Juan Widoycovich. It was Widoycovich's first collegiate point.
 
The Statesmen finished with a 12-5 advantage in shots. RPI held a 4-3 edge in corners. Matt LaBranche made four saves in goal for the Engineers.
