FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Hobart dealt Fredonia a 2-0 loss Tuesday in the final game of the Blue Devils' 2014 men's soccer season.

Playing through a driving rainstorm, Hobart took a 1-0 lead on a three-way play in the 38th minute. Passes by Joe Busuttil and Jacob Fox set up Sean Barry, who scored into an open corner.

The Blue Devils had a quality chance earlier in the first half. After a series of passes to free up a shooter, Ryan Ross (Grand Island, N.Y./Grand Island) clanged a hard shot off the left goal post.

The Statesmen added to their lead on a penalty kick by Oddmund Nesbakk just 53 seconds into the second half.

A.J. Grecco (Kenmore, N.Y./St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute) started in the Blue Devil goal in his final collegiate game. He was credited with one save before leaving the game to be replaced in the 65th minute by fellow senior Michael Schreiner (Spencerport, N.Y./Spencerport).

Hobart's Mike Lucas made six saves to earn the shutout. He made three diving stops, including two during a flurry of Blue Devil activity late in the second half. He also made a diving stop during the first half.

The loss left the Blue Devils with a 8-7-3 record. The Statesmen improved to 11-4-3.

It addition to Grecco and Schreiner, midfielder Chase Lipshie (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) were playing their final game.

The loss was the sixth straight to close out Fredonia's year.

"We got off to an awfully good start," Blue Devil head coach P.J. Gondek said of the season in general. "But sometimes when you've got young players, the game itself is hard to wrap your head around. We have good kids, and we still like our kids, but they're still young."

Seventeen members of the 29-man roster were either sophomores or freshmen, with several of them seeing significant playing time during 2014.
