semifinals of the CAA Championship. De Angelis led the Pride to an
undefeated record at home (8-0) for the first time in program history.

selection in Warner and three All-CAA selections in Brit Blankmeyer,
Amy-Lee Levey and Warner.

consecutive CAA Championship. Warner earned her third All-Mid-East
Region selection and Genna Kovar, Blankmeyer and Warner earned All-
CAA honors. De Angelis also celebrated a milestone win in her Hofstra
career, posting the 100th win of her tenure in a 3-0 win over Siena in

CAA All-Rookie Team.
