Erich Marcks converted the penalty kick at 32:55 after a Colby player was whistled for a hand ball in the penalty area during a corner kick.
The Mules dropped to 3-8-3 overall and 1-6-2 in the NESCAC, while Hamilton ended the season at 6-9 and 2-8 in the league. Colby closes out the season Wednesday at home against Bates College at 8 p.m. at Harold Alfond Stadium.

Harris Pollack made a pair of first-half saves to record his fourth shutout of the season and the seventh of his career. John Pappas stopped four shots for Colby.
Brandon Fahlberg had two of Colby's five shots. Clouse, Jeff Rosenberg, and Chandler Smith had the other shots.
