Senior Reflections<br />

Elizabeth Zorovich<br />

I chose to attend Hofstra<br />

University because it<br />

offered me the opportunity<br />

to excel academically and<br />

athletically. Hofstra gave<br />

me the chance to explore<br />

my academic passions<br />

that have helped me to<br />

gain the experience I will<br />

need for my future career.<br />

My athletic experiences<br />

have taught me how to<br />

be strong, dedicated and<br />

confident. I have gained a<br />

great deal of knowledge<br />

and strength from my four years of being a student-athlete at<br />

Hofstra University but what I will remember most are the lifelong<br />

friendships I have made and the supportive efforts from my<br />

family and others that have helped me along the way.<br />

Jaclyn Pandolf<br />

Playing for the Hofstra<br />

Women’s Lacrosse<br />

team has created<br />

unforgettable memories<br />

for me. I have learned<br />

what it really means<br />

to be a part of a team<br />

and how far hard work<br />

and dedication can go.<br />

I may not remember<br />

all of the scores of<br />

the games that I’ve<br />

played, but I will<br />

always remember the<br />

teammates that were<br />

beside me. I am expecting nothing but great things out of this<br />

<strong>2012</strong> season and I am planning to end my lacrosse career with a<br />

CAA championship.<br />

Chrissy Jones<br />

I chose to attend Hofstra<br />

because I felt it was a<br />

place where I could enjoy<br />

my college experience,<br />

and grow and excel as<br />

a student-athlete. The<br />

challenges and adventures I<br />

have endured through both<br />

lacrosse and academics<br />

have helped shape me into<br />

the person I am today. As a<br />

senior I am grateful for the<br />

unforgettable experiences<br />

and all the friends I have<br />

made along the way.<br />

Head Coach Abby Morgan<br />

Abby Morgan, a<br />

three-year assistant<br />

coach for the Pride,<br />

became the eighth women’s<br />

lacrosse coach in school<br />

history on August 7, 2006. In<br />

her first season at the helm,<br />

she led her team to a 12-7<br />

overall record, a 6-1 Colonial<br />

Athletic Association (CAA)<br />

mark, the team’s first CAA<br />

championship and its secondever<br />

NCAA Tournament<br />

appearance. Morgan brings a<br />

47-38 career record into her<br />

sixth season at the helm in<br />

<strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Hofstra is <strong>com</strong>ing off a<br />

2011 season that could be<br />

categorized as rebuilding. The Pride posted a 6-10 record and was 2-5 in<br />

the CAA. Senior Katie Hertsch and sophomore Jill Maier were All-CAA<br />

selections and the team once again excelled in the classroom, earning<br />

IWLCA Academic Squad accolades.<br />

The 2010 season saw Morgan lead her team to a 12-6 record and advance<br />

to the CAA title game. The team was ranked 15th in the final IWLCA<br />

Poll, the highest final ranking in program history. In addition, Morgan<br />

coached then-senior Corrine Gandolfi to her second All-America honor<br />

is as many seasons and also saw rising junior Hertsch earn a spot on<br />

the United States Women’s Senior National Team. Statistically, the team<br />

led the CAA in goals, assists and points per game and ranked eighth<br />

in the nation in draw controls. In the classroom Morgan saw her team<br />

earn IWLCA Merit Squad honors and boast the top team GPA in all of<br />

Division I women’s Lacrosse.<br />

Morgan guided Hofstra to a 10-6 overall record in 2009, and the team<br />

was recognized nationally by earning IWLCA Merit Squad honors for<br />

having one of the top three cumulative grade point averages nationally.<br />

In addition, Morgan assisted in the development of Corrine Gandolfi,<br />

who became just the seventh player in program history to earn All-<br />

American honors.<br />

In 2008 Hofstra <strong>com</strong>piled a 7-9 overall record and a 4-3 mark in the<br />

CAA. Hofstra finished in a tie for fourth in the conference and beat two<br />

squads ranked in the top 20 during the season. In addition, the Pride<br />

had four players named to postseason All-CAA teams, including two<br />

members of<br />

the All-CAA<br />

first team.<br />

The Pride<br />

was ranked<br />

16th in the<br />

final IWLCA<br />

Poll of the<br />

2007 season,<br />

which was,<br />

at the time,<br />

the team’s<br />

highest final<br />

ranking in<br />

program<br />

history.<br />

Morgan also<br />

saw one<br />

of her star<br />

players, Kimberly Hillier, named a third team All-American<br />

and get selected to play on the United States Developmental<br />

Team. The 2007 squad finished the year ranked 22nd in<br />

winning percentage (.632) and was 23rd in the nation in<br />

scoring defense (10.16 GAPG).<br />

Morgan joined the Hofstra staff at the start of the 2003-04<br />

academic year after a two-year stint as the top assistant at<br />

Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey.<br />

Since Morgan’s arrival the Pride has totaled 74 wins. In<br />

addition, Hofstra made three straight appearances in the<br />

6 Hofstra University


In Morgan’s first year as head coach, she launched her own <strong>com</strong>pany<br />

called InCrease Lacrosse Camps, Inc. The <strong>com</strong>pany provides quality<br />

lacrosse instruction and <strong>com</strong>petition for girls of all ages. InCrease<br />

Lacrosse offers various clinics and camps throughout the year that<br />

introduce the game to new<strong>com</strong>ers and advance players to the next<br />

level. Through her work with InCrease Lacrosse, Morgan is continually<br />

developing youth lacrosse on Long Island while promoting Hofstra to the<br />

local <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />

At Monmouth she helped guide the Hawks to Northeast Conference<br />

regular season first and second place finishes in 2002 and 2003,<br />

respectively. Morgan was responsible for developing the attack at<br />

Monmouth, and mentored four All-NEC attackers and five All-NEC<br />

midfielders during her tenure. Morgan was also the team’s academic<br />

advisor and facilitated fund-raising efforts for the Hawks.<br />

CAA championship game from 2005 to 2007 and was ranked<br />

nationally at the conclusion of five of the last seven seasons.<br />

Under Morgan’s tutelage, 16 Pride student-athletes have earned CAA<br />

postseason honors, and four members of the program have garnered<br />

All-America accolades. Morgan has coached four of the greatest<br />

players in school history in Hillier, Becky Thorn, Casey McGrath<br />

and Corrine Gandolfi. Hillier and Gandolfi (twice) and Thorn were<br />

each All-Americans, while the four players earned All-CAA honors<br />

13 times between them. The group <strong>com</strong>bined to score 561 goals and<br />

rank two through five on the career goals list, and are in the top six in<br />

career points. Hillier’s 73 points in 2006 is tied for the school record,<br />

as are her 82 career assists, while Thorn graduated as Hofstra’s alltime<br />

leader in draw controls.<br />

As an assistant coach, Morgan worked with the Hofstra defense, as<br />

well as serving as recruiting coordinator. Under her tutelage in 2005<br />

the Pride ranked ninth in the NCAA in caused turnovers and All-<br />

American defender Bridget Eder led the nation in caused turnovers<br />

and was 11th in ground balls. Hofstra’s goalkeepers also fared well<br />

under Morgan’s direction as Maisie Osteen was sixth in the nation in<br />

goals against average, while Lisa Papa ranked 19th in save percentage.<br />

In 2004 the<br />

Pride ranked<br />

10th in the<br />

NCAA in<br />

ground balls<br />

per game,<br />

and Eder led<br />

the nation in<br />

ground balls<br />

and was 11th<br />

in caused<br />

turnovers and<br />

draw controls,<br />

while Papa<br />

ranked<br />

18th in the<br />

nation in<br />

goals against<br />

average.<br />

A 2001 graduate of the University of Connecticut, Morgan was a fouryear<br />

starter and one of Coach Bonnie Rosen’s first recruits. Morgan led<br />

the Huskies in scoring as a freshman and was third during her sophomore<br />

year. She finished her junior year eighth in the nation in assists and<br />

garnered the Husky Award for dedication to the Connecticut program.<br />

A captain as a junior and senior, she finished her collegiate career as<br />

UConn’s single season (28) and career (63) leader in assists, and now<br />

ranks second in both categories. In addition, she is in the top five at<br />

Connecticut in goals, points and assists.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Women’s Lacrosse 9


<strong>2012</strong> Outlook<br />

Coming off a 6-10 season in 2011, Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse<br />

Coach Abby Morgan is looking for a turnaround in <strong>2012</strong>. With<br />

19 players returning from that squad, including seven of the top<br />

eight scorers as well as a goalkeeper that led the CAA in saves and save<br />

percentage, the Pride possess both the experience and talent to rebound<br />

from an off year.<br />

Attack<br />

Junior Claire<br />

Brady and<br />

sophomore<br />

Claire Brady<br />

Lindsay McKinnon<br />

return to anchor<br />

the attack. Brady<br />

started 10 of 14<br />

games last season<br />

and ranked third on<br />

the team in scoring<br />

with 15 goals and<br />

a team-high 17<br />

assists. Brady has<br />

been a consistent<br />

distributor of the<br />

ball in her first<br />

two seasons (15<br />

assists as a freshman) and has upped her goal scoring in each of her first<br />

two seasons (six goals in 2010 to 15 in 2011). McKinnon was a pleasant<br />

surprise as a freshman, scoring 12 goals and adding five assists. She was<br />

fourth on the team in goals scored and had arguable the biggest goal of<br />

the season for the Pride when she scored the game-winner versus #17<br />

Notre Dame with eight seconds left in the second half. Both Brady and<br />

McKinnon will need to continue their offensive production in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Sophomore Jenn Ward, who played in all 16 games last season, will also<br />

play an important role on the Pride attack after tallying 15 goals and four<br />

assists in 2011.Ward was a Colonial Athletic Association All-Rookie<br />

selection last season and her versatility may allow her to slide into a<br />

midfielder role as well. Juniors Taylor Albright, Lauren Chandler and<br />

Jacquelyn Ardolino, and sophomore Julia Riemer will also fill valuable<br />

roles at attack. Albright made seven starts and played in 13 games as a<br />

sophomore and contributed three goals and an assist, while Chandler had<br />

Lindsay McKinnon<br />

one goal and one assist in 11 contests. Ardolino will provide an offensive<br />

jolt as evidenced by her 12 goals and an assist in 2011 before a seasonending<br />

knee injury.<br />

Sophomore Callahan Foley and freshman Kaitlin Ayres will provide<br />

added depth at the position. Foley made one appearance for the Pride<br />

last season, while Ayres <strong>com</strong>es to Hofstra from Bethlehem Central High<br />

School in upstate New York where she was the team’s Offensive Most<br />

Valuable Player a year ago.<br />

Midfield<br />

Jill Maier<br />

Hofstra’s midfield may<br />

be the deepest and most<br />

talented unit on the team<br />

led by All-CAA selection<br />

Jill Maier. The junior<br />

led Hofstra in scoring in<br />

2011 with 37 goals and<br />

three assists for 40 points.<br />

She was also a catalyst<br />

for the Pride offense as<br />

she led the team with 43<br />

draw controls. In her first<br />

year as Hofstra’s primary<br />

offensive threat, Maier<br />

showed she was up to<br />

the task as she upped her<br />

scoring by 15 goals from<br />

her freshman season.<br />

Classmate Casey Kellogg<br />

started 10 of her 16 games<br />

last season and plays a<br />

key role as a defensiveminded<br />

midfielder. She<br />

did contribute on the offensive end with three goals and an assist and<br />

showed as a freshman<br />

(nine goals) that she is a<br />

capable scorer as well.<br />

Senior Maryann Miller<br />

and sophomore Alex<br />

Mezzanotte also return<br />

to midfield roles. Miller,<br />

who had missed the entire<br />

2010 season, worked<br />

her way back into form<br />

in 2011 and finished the<br />

year with eight goals and<br />

five assists. Mezzanotte<br />

had an impressive rookie<br />

campaign as she recorded<br />

six goals and 10 assists<br />

for 16 points. The 10<br />

assists tied her for second<br />

on the team. She also<br />

added 15 ground balls,<br />

Casey Kellogg<br />

10 Hofstra University


which is second among returning players. Both Miller and Mezzanotte<br />

are expected to have even bigger roles this season.<br />

Junior Emily von Hollen and sophomore Liz Anders are two other<br />

returnees who will be relied on in <strong>2012</strong>. Von Hollen scored one goal in<br />

six games, while Anders was a consistent presence in the Pride rotation<br />

as a freshman with six starts in her 16 games played. Anders provided<br />

two goals on the year and also added eight draw controls.<br />

Freshmen April Iannetta, Brittain Altomare and Sam Lenox were each<br />

impressive during fall practice and are in line for playing time as well.<br />

Iannetta was an All-Nassau County selection at Wantagh High School<br />

on Long Island, while Altomare scored 247 goals and added 95 assists<br />

during her four-year scholastic career at Middletown High School in<br />

Maryland. Lenox was an All-American during her senior campaign at<br />

Queen Anne’s County High School in Maryland.<br />

Defense<br />

The Pride defense is a mixture of experience and youth, and following<br />

the graduation of seniors Katie Hertsch and Bettina Mianulli; Coach<br />

Morgan will look for someone to claim a leadership role on the unit.<br />

The leading contender to take on that role is senior Elizabeth Zorovich,<br />

who started 11 of 16 games last season and has played in 34 games<br />

during her Pride career. In 2011 Zorovich picked up 13 ground balls and<br />

had six draw controls and two caused turnovers.<br />

Sophomore Jamie D’Arco also returns and will move into a more<br />

prominent role following her stellar play in the fall. As a freshman,<br />

D’Arco played in 11 games with one start and had three ground balls.<br />

Sophomore transfer Jac Tierney is also in line for playing time after an<br />

impressive showing during the fall. Tierney, who played scholastically<br />

at Massapequa High School on Long Island, recorded two goals, five<br />

assists, 33 ground balls and 19 caused turnovers at Lenoir-Rhyne<br />

University last season. Freshman Abby Wilson’s play also caught the eye<br />

of the coaching staff in the fall and the former scholastic star at The John<br />

Carroll School in Maryland should see significant playing time in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Elizabeth<br />

Zorovich<br />

Seniors Chrissy<br />

Jones and<br />

Genna Kovar<br />

will also be<br />

looking for<br />

playing time.<br />

Jones played<br />

in 14 games<br />

as a junior and<br />

contributed 10<br />

ground balls.<br />

Kovar is in her<br />

first season<br />

of playing<br />

lacrosse after<br />

a stellar career<br />

on the Pride field hockey team. A gifted natural athlete, Kovar is quickly<br />

learning the game and could be an added weapon for Coach Morgan this<br />

season.<br />

Sophomore Samantha Greiber, who played in four games last season, is<br />

recovering from offseason surgery and could potentially return during<br />

the season. Another returnee who will miss the year is junior Emily<br />

Corzel, who played in all 16 games and started 14 last season.<br />

Goalkeeper<br />

Senior Jaclyn Pandolf played every minute of every game last season<br />

and posted a 10.17 goals against average, 159 saves and a .491 save<br />

percentage. Her 159 saves and .491 percentage led the CAA, while her<br />

10.17 goals against average was fifth in the league. Pandolf is capable of<br />

keeping the Pride in any contest as she posted 10 or more saves in 10 of<br />

the Pride’s 16 games last season.<br />

Freshman Kelsey Gregerson will serve as Pandolf’s understudy and<br />

impressed the coaching staff in the fall that she will push for time.<br />

Gregerson was an All-Nassau County pick as a senior at South Side High<br />

School on Long Island and was one of the top 50 players on Long Island<br />

as selected by MSG Varsity.<br />

Schedule<br />

Hofstra’s non-conference slate is littered with plenty of quality<br />

opponents as the nine teams <strong>com</strong>bined for 100 victories and a winning<br />

percentage of 62%. In addition, of the nine non-conference opponents,<br />

eight had winning records,<br />

led by Maryland’s 21-2<br />

mark in 2011.<br />

The Pride open the<br />

season with a threegame<br />

road trip, starting<br />

with the contest at<br />

Colgate. Following<br />

that game Hofstra will<br />

close the month of<br />

February with games<br />

at Fairfield (February<br />

22) and Boston College<br />

(February 25). The Stags<br />

and the Eagles each had<br />

successful seasons a year<br />

ago as they won 13 and 12<br />

games, respectively.<br />

Jaclyn Pandolf<br />

There will be plenty of excitement surrounding Hofstra’s home opener in<br />

<strong>2012</strong> as the Maryland Terrapins visit James M. Shuart Stadium on March<br />

4. Maryland was the national runner-up a season ago after winning the<br />

national title in 2010.<br />

The Pride also have a trip to California in March, playing a neutral site<br />

game against Denver in Berkeley on March 23 before meeting up the Cal<br />

two days later.<br />

Hofstra’s CAA slate will be challenging as always. This season the Pride<br />

play at defending champion James Madison, Towson, George Mason and<br />

Drexel, while hosting Delaware, George Mason and William & Mary.<br />

24 Hofstra University


This is Hofstra University<br />

Hofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored<br />

for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find pride<br />

and purpose at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose<br />

primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library<br />

resources, internships, and active and <strong>com</strong>pelling educational programs<br />

that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra <strong>com</strong>munity is<br />

driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their<br />

strengths to prepare them for a successful future.<br />

In its relatively short 76-year history, Hofstra has established itself as a<br />

world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each<br />

academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and<br />

change to meet the demands of our students and our <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />

Hofstra opened in 1935 as a <strong>com</strong>muter school with all classes and offices<br />

housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into<br />

an international institution with a student body hailing from 50 states<br />

and territories, and 72 countries around the world. The beautiful campus<br />

is an accredited arboretum with 115 buildings on 240 acres. There are<br />

approximately 4,000 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them<br />

and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities.<br />

Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students<br />

have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of<br />

the city.<br />

While the campus and its offerings have changed, what has remained<br />

consistent throughout the years is the sense of <strong>com</strong>munity on campus,<br />

the eagerness of our students to learn and the <strong>com</strong>mitment of the Hofstra<br />

faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that<br />

encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning.<br />

The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of<br />

Liberal Arts and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, School<br />

of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services,<br />

Maurice A. Deane School of Law, School for University Studies, Honors<br />

College, Hofstra University Continuing Education and Hofstra North<br />

Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University. Bachelor’s degrees<br />

are offered in about 150 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered,<br />

including Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., J.D., and M.D. degrees, advanced<br />

certificates and professional diplomas, in more approximately 160<br />

programs of study.<br />

Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans<br />

to establish a medical school on the University campus in October 2007.<br />

The new school, which wel<strong>com</strong>ed its first class in July 2011, is the first<br />

allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New<br />

York State since 1963.<br />

In October 2011 the Commission on Presidential Debates announced<br />

that it had chosen Hofstra University for the site of its October 16,<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Presidential Debate, which will be in the “town meeting” format.<br />

The Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonprofit, nonpartisan<br />

corporation, has sponsored and produced every presidential and vicepresidential<br />

debate since 1988. Hofstra University hosted the third and<br />

final presidential debate of the 2008 election cycle, between then Senator<br />

Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, on October 15,<br />

2008.<br />

In 2011 Hofstra announced that it would launch a School<br />

of Engineering and Applied Science with a co-op education<br />

program that will partner with a network of industry leaders to<br />

offer students substantial work experience before they graduate.<br />

The new school, set to open in September <strong>2012</strong>, will <strong>com</strong>bine<br />

and expand the University’s existing Engineering and<br />

Computer Science departments to develop a curriculum that<br />

emphasizes high-tech research, practical work experience<br />

and inter-disciplinary study, integrating resources and faculty<br />

from other parts of the institution, including the Hofstra North<br />

Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and the Frank G. Zarb School<br />

of Business.<br />

Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest,<br />

most advanced non-<strong>com</strong>mercial television facilities in the<br />

East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a<br />

sophisticated television production/post-production facility<br />

with two broadcast-quality studios and control rooms; two<br />

advanced online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear digital<br />

editing systems and several cuts-only video work stations. Two<br />

satellite dishes are available with one dish providing special<br />

news feeds for the broadcast journalism room, which also<br />

has access to Associated Press, Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones<br />

services. In addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting<br />

student-produced programming to the entire campus on our own<br />

cable channels. Also located here is the University’s radio station<br />

(WRHU/88.7-FM), audio production studios, a film/video screening<br />

room, film editing rooms, a <strong>com</strong>puter laboratory, a speech performance<br />

studio and a large dance studio.<br />

Hofstra’s C.V. Starr Hall offers academic facilities that are among<br />

the most technologically advanced in the nation. Every seat in every<br />

classroom allows students direct access to the Internet and Hofstra<br />

network, including the resources of Hofstra’s Axinn Library.<br />

Hofstra’s growing <strong>com</strong>puter facilities offer extensive high-tech training<br />

opportunities. There are <strong>com</strong>puter terminals throughout the campus for<br />

student and faculty use, with more than 750 PC, Macintosh and UNIX<br />

workstations available in labs and classrooms.<br />

Hofstra hosts more than 500 cultural events annually, bringing<br />

thousands of scholars, dignitaries and other participants to campus.<br />

More than 200 musical and dramatic performances take place on<br />

campus each year. The University recently <strong>com</strong>pleted a year-long<br />

celebration of its 75th anniversary, <strong>com</strong>plete with a concert, academic<br />

convocation and cake, several conferences and signature events<br />

which brought together students, faculty, alumni and <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />

In October 2008 the eyes of the world were on Hofstra for the final<br />

presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. The<br />

debate was a transformational moment for the University, highlighting<br />

the achievements of our students and faculty and their engagement in<br />

the political process. Leading up to the debate, students and the entire<br />

<strong>com</strong>munity were engaged by the year-long Educate ’08 program,<br />

almost 150 lectures, conferences, and events focused on the issues,<br />

history and politics of the presidency, followed by Define ’09, which<br />

looked at the first year of his presidency. The University continues to<br />

host important political events, such as<br />

the New York State Gubernatorial Debate<br />

in 2010.<br />

The Hofstra Museum, which houses<br />

one of the largest art collections in<br />

the metropolitan area, coordinates<br />

approximately eight exhibitions annually<br />

and offers exhibition areas and an<br />

extensive outdoor sculpture collection,<br />

with 75 pieces. The Hofstra Museum is<br />

accredited by the American Association of<br />

Museums – one of only 94 universities in<br />

the nation and one of six in New York to<br />

hold that distinction.<br />

Hofstra also has six theaters, a student<br />

newspaper, a lively student center, a<br />

recently renovated recreation center and<br />

numerous athletic facilities, including the<br />

13,000-seat James M. Shuart Stadium<br />

and the 5,046-seat David S. Mack Sports<br />

and Exhibition Complex. Hofstra also<br />

has an indoor, Olympic-sized (eight lane,<br />

50-meter) swimming pool, one of the<br />

largest such facilities in the New York<br />

metropolitan area.<br />

Hofstra University Director of Athletics<br />

JACK HAYES<br />

Hofstra University Director of Athletics<br />

Jack Hayes is in his eighth year as director<br />

of athletics at Hofstra University in 2011-<br />

12. Hayes was appointed by Hofstra<br />

President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s<br />

director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes<br />

came to Hofstra after serving as an associate<br />

director of athletics at the University of<br />

Connecticut for three years.<br />

Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at<br />

Hofstra, leads a department that includes 17<br />

Division I teams, 90 coaches and administrative<br />

staff members and 350 student-athletes.<br />

Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic<br />

and athletic success of student-athletes,<br />

strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing,<br />

university relations, facility enhancement,<br />

budgetary management, and NCAA <strong>com</strong>pliance<br />

<strong>com</strong>plements Hofstra University’s athletic<br />

department in its quest to further enhance its<br />

athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s studentathletes<br />

both on and off the field.<br />

The Hofstra Athletic program has<br />

flourished under Hayes’ leadership,<br />

winning 20 CAA Championships and<br />

making 33 postseason appearances,<br />

including 25 NCAA Tournaments, since<br />

the 2004-05 academic year. In 2010-11<br />

four Pride teams advanced to postseason<br />

play with women’s soccer and men’s<br />

lacrosse reaching the NCAA Tournament<br />

as at-large selections. In addition, Hofstra<br />

hosted the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse<br />

Quarterfinals in 2009 and 2011, setting<br />

a James M. Shuart Stadium attendance<br />

record in 2011.<br />

Hayes has placed a significant emphasis<br />

on fund-raising during his tenure. Pride<br />

Club membership reached all-time<br />

highs, both in terms of the number of<br />

contributors and funds raised as the<br />

organization topped the $1 million<br />

mark for the three consecutive years.<br />

In addition, Hofstra Athletics signed its<br />

largest corporate sponsorship deal in<br />

department history when it partnered<br />

with W.B. Mason in 2010. In 2011<br />

Hofstra announced a 1.5 million dollar<br />

<strong>com</strong>mitment from lacrosse alumnus<br />

James C. Metzger ’83, the largest gift in<br />

Hofstra Athletics history.<br />

Resources generated through fundraising<br />

efforts have been used to enhance<br />

programs and facilities available to<br />

student-athletes. Recent initiatives<br />

include the construction of the W.B. Mason<br />

Pride Lounge on the lower level of the Mack<br />

Sports Complex, baseball’s Quinn Family<br />

Grandstand and the Fried Family Student-<br />

Athlete Development Center on the second<br />

floor of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building.<br />

Other recent renovations include locker rooms,<br />

the wrestling room, athletic training rooms<br />

in Margiotta Hall and the Physical Education<br />

Center, the basketball media room in the Mack<br />

Sports Complex, a press box at the Hofstra<br />

Soccer Stadium, replacement of the turf at<br />

James M. Shuart Stadium and the construction<br />

of the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium.<br />

In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra<br />

Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50-<br />

year absence, inducting five classes since that<br />

time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform<br />

numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes<br />

with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies held<br />

during the 2008-09 academic year.<br />

Active on a national level, Hayes served on<br />

the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee<br />

from September 2006 to September 2008. In<br />

September 2010 he was appointed to the NCAA<br />

Leadership Council, which is an advisory body<br />

to the Division I Board of Directors.<br />

Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years<br />

of athletic administration experience, including<br />

management positions at four Division I<br />

institutions – Connecticut, Fordham, St. John’s<br />

and Fairfield.<br />

Hayes received a master’s degree in<br />

education in 1992 with a concentration in<br />

sport management from the University of<br />

Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree<br />

(1989) from Providence College, where he was<br />

a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He<br />

was also awarded a certificate of <strong>com</strong>pletion in<br />

2001 from the Sports Management Institute,<br />

Consortium of the Universities of Michigan<br />

and Texas.<br />

A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes<br />

graduated from the Providence Country Day<br />

School where he lettered in football, basketball<br />

and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member<br />

of his high school basketball team, into the<br />

Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of<br />

Fame in October 2004. In October 2010 Hayes<br />

became a two-time member of Providence<br />

Country Day’s Athletic Hall of Fame when he<br />

was inducted along with the rest of his high<br />

school lacrosse team.<br />

Hayes resides in East Northport, New York,<br />

with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (9), and<br />

sons Matt (6), Tommy (3) and Michael (1).<br />

Margiotta Hall<br />

Opened in 1992, Margiotta Hall,<br />

a magnificent three-story,<br />

22,500-square-foot building, is a<br />

centerpiece of the Hofstra University Athletics<br />

program. The state-of-the-art field house,<br />

<strong>com</strong>bined with Hofstra’s 13,000-seat stadium,<br />

has created one of the finest lacrosse facilities<br />

in the nation. The facility was named after<br />

Joseph M. Margiotta ’50, a former Pride<br />

student-athlete and long-time supporter.<br />

Margiotta, who founded and served as<br />

President of the Hofstra Pride Club for more<br />

than 20 years, passed away in November 2008<br />

Margiotta Hall features a 3,500-square-foot<br />

weight room on the first floor. The building<br />

also contains locker rooms for men’s lacrosse<br />

and women’s lacrosse, all of which have<br />

undergone major renovations since 2008.<br />

The state-of-the-art athletic training room,<br />

also located on the first floor, has hydrotherapy<br />

and electrotherapy areas, cardiovascular and<br />

isokinetic equipment, as well as taping areas,<br />

a rehabilitation area, an aerobics room, and<br />

athletic trainer and physician offices.<br />

On the second floor, an attractive multipurpose<br />

room, enclosed by a glass wall,<br />

provides a panoramic view of James M.<br />

Shuart Stadium. Meetings and receptions for<br />

alumni, parents and friends of the Hofstra<br />

Athletic program are held in this area. Located<br />

on this level are the offices for the men and<br />

women’s lacrosse coaching staffs.<br />

The lacrosse office was the benefit of a major<br />

renovation project in 2008. The offices are<br />

equipped with video equipment, a 12-seat<br />

theater with stadium seating for group film<br />

and meeting sessions, as well as a viewing<br />

room with hardwood flooring and a 50-inch<br />

flat screen television that overlooks the field.<br />

In 2010 Margiotta Hall was the recipient of a<br />

“Traditions Project” that provides a sense of<br />

history of the lacrosse programs. The walls<br />

of the second floor of Margiotta Hall contain<br />

pictures and brief text descriptions of the<br />

key moments and people in Hofstra Lacrosse<br />

history. The project was made possible<br />

through the generosity of former lacrosse All-<br />

American James C. Metzger ’83.<br />

The lower level of Margiotta Hall contains a<br />

178-seat theater, additional meeting rooms<br />

and an indoor golf training facility.<br />

James M. Shuart Stadium/Indoor Practice Facility<br />

Originally opened in 1963 as Hofstra Stadium<br />

and renamed James M. Shuart Stadium in<br />

August 2002, the facility serves as the home<br />

to Hofstra’s lacrosse teams.<br />

Named after the former Hofstra President, who<br />

played football and lacrosse during his undergraduate<br />

days at Hofstra, James M. Shuart Stadium has<br />

served as the host for the NCAA Division I Men’s<br />

Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinals and first round<br />

games in the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse<br />

Championships, numerous conference championship<br />

contests, the Long Island All-Star Football Game,<br />

the Fun City Bowl featuring the New York City<br />

Police and Fire Department teams, the Long Island<br />

Lizards of Major League Lacrosse, and various Long<br />

Island high school and New York state championship<br />

games. The stadium also served as a home for the<br />

Long Island Rough Riders of professional soccer’s<br />

A-League.<br />

In 1968 the stadium became the third college facility<br />

in the nation to install an artificial playing surface.<br />

James M. Shuart Stadium underwent a major<br />

renovation and expansion that was <strong>com</strong>pleted in<br />

the fall of 1996, making the facility into one of the<br />

premier <strong>com</strong>plexes in the Northeast. The project<br />

included the expansion of the seating capacity from<br />

7,000 to 13,000; the creation of the Howdy Myers<br />

Pavilion in the southeast corner of the stadium; and<br />

the installation of scoreboards in both end zones. The<br />

renovation transformed James M. Shuart Stadium<br />

into the largest outdoor sports and entertainment<br />

<strong>com</strong>plex on Long Island. In 2007 the artificial turf<br />

at James M. Shuart Stadium was replaced with<br />

FieldTurf, then in 2009 new scoreboards were<br />

installed in the north and south end zones.<br />

The largest crowds in James M. Shuart Stadium<br />

history occurred during the hosting of the NCAA<br />

Lacrosse Quarterfinals. A stadium record 13,447<br />

people, the largest-ever lacrosse crowd on Long<br />

Island, were in attendance for the 2011 NCAA<br />

Quarterfinals, while a crowd of 12,292, a then-NCAA<br />

Men’s Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinal record,<br />

witnessed the 1999 NCAA Quarterfinals featuring<br />

Hofstra versus Johns Hopkins. In 2009 11,292 fans<br />

were present and 10,510 fans attended the 2001<br />

quarterfinals that featured Hofstra against Syracuse.<br />

Hofstra Indoor Practice Facility<br />

The Pride has use of the Hofstra Indoor Practice Facility, that<br />

formerly was the property of the New York Jets of the National<br />

Football League. The 50-yard turf field gives Hofstra a unique<br />

environment that many teams in the Northeast do not have. The<br />

practice bubble is located on the North Campus, behind the Mack<br />

Sports Complex.<br />

Sports Medicine/Athletic Training<br />

Through a <strong>com</strong>prehensive athletic training program,<br />

Hofstra University student-athletes are provided<br />

excellent health care during their time at the<br />

University. A coordinated effort between the University<br />

Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department<br />

and outside health care providers ensures every studentathlete<br />

the best medical attention possible.<br />

University student-athletes have direct access to a<br />

myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage<br />

of every practice and <strong>com</strong>petition event is Hofstra<br />

University’s athletic training staff, which is led by<br />

ninth-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and<br />

features six full-time athletic trainers and numerous<br />

student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide<br />

injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the<br />

entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-theart<br />

athletic training rooms, these professionals work<br />

tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s<br />

student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play<br />

quickly and safely.<br />

Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Michael<br />

Yorio. Dr. Yorio, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in<br />

Lake Success, New York, is in his third year on Hofstra’s<br />

medical team. Yorio is an internist with specialized training<br />

in sports medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree at<br />

Villanova University, and received his medical degree from the<br />

SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse. Yorio previously<br />

served as a sports medicine fellow with the University of<br />

Maryland Orthopedics. Prior to that, he was a resident<br />

physician in internal medicine at Carolinas Medical Center in<br />

Charlotte, North Carolina.<br />

Yorio was named the Director of Player Medical Services for<br />

the 2008 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, New York,<br />

and is on the medical staff for the New York Islanders. He also<br />

worked as a team physician for the University of Maryland<br />

from 2003 to 2005.<br />

Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly<br />

<strong>com</strong>petitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training<br />

majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in<br />

all aspects of the health care system.<br />

Athletic Academic Support<br />

Hofstra University is <strong>com</strong>mitted to the pursuit of<br />

academic and athletic excellence. The University views<br />

participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the<br />

student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond<br />

any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time<br />

<strong>com</strong>mitment made by student-athletes and has <strong>com</strong>mitted the<br />

facilities and resources to support all students.<br />

The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring<br />

in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to<br />

obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week<br />

for up to three courses. They are also able to utilize the various<br />

help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in<br />

writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition<br />

to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor,<br />

through the Center for University Advisement, who helps address<br />

the various needs of student‐athletes. The academic advisor<br />

emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic<br />

success of Hofstra’s student-athletes.<br />

Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the<br />

areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling,<br />

and campus and <strong>com</strong>munity referrals. The advisor also meets with<br />

prospective student‐athletes, at the coach’s request, to share the<br />

many benefits of a Hofstra University education.<br />

Area two is academic advising. The academic advisor serves as<br />

the primary advisor for first-year and undecided student-athletes,<br />

and also assists upperclassmen who have declared a major.<br />

Area three is academic monitoring. The advisor monitors the<br />

academic progress of student‐athletes to ensure <strong>com</strong>pliance<br />

with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The<br />

advisor’s regular <strong>com</strong>munication with the faculty and coaches<br />

provide opportunities for early intervention should academic<br />

difficulties arise.<br />

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program supports<br />

athletic study halls by providing tutors in various subjects as<br />

necessary. The academic advisors also assess the needs of<br />

individual student‐athletes to provide the most effective study<br />

environment. The assessment tool administered by the Center for<br />

University Advisement is also used to provide various enrichment<br />

seminars for the student‐athletes such as time management,<br />

writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college<br />

transition.<br />

In 2010 The Fried Center for Student-Athlete Development was<br />

opened on the second level of the James M. Shuart Stadium<br />

Building. The center houses the offices of the Student-Athlete<br />

Services Staff, as well as a large <strong>com</strong>puter lab with printer access<br />

for use by Hofstra student-athletes, a quiet study area with<br />

wireless internet access and two group study/tutor rooms with<br />

power point access and white boards.<br />

The Colonial Athletic Association<br />

The Colonial Athletic Association continues to build on its<br />

reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both<br />

athletically and academically.<br />

The CAA en<strong>com</strong>passes five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan<br />

areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta.<br />

The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five<br />

different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players<br />

of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award<br />

winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated<br />

away from <strong>com</strong>petition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22<br />

NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2010-11, more than 1,900 of the<br />

league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic<br />

Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering<br />

in a varsity sport. The conference had 21 teams in 12 different<br />

sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest<br />

Academic Progress Report released in 2011.<br />

The landscape of the conference<br />

stretches along the majority of the<br />

East Coast, and includes six of the<br />

nation’s top 25 media markets – New<br />

York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston<br />

(7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9)<br />

and Baltimore (25). The number of<br />

television homes in the CAA market<br />

exceeds 20 million.<br />

The CAA conducts championships in<br />

23 sports. Male athletes <strong>com</strong>pete for<br />

championships in baseball, basketball,<br />

cross country, football, golf, lacrosse,<br />

soccer, swimming & diving, tennis,<br />

track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles<br />

in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer,<br />

softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In<br />

2010-11, 25 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 50 studentathletes<br />

received All-America honors in 13 different sports.<br />

The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s<br />

basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) –<br />

advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past five years. Three CAA<br />

teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in 2011 as<br />

conference champion Old Dominion was joined by VCU and George<br />

Mason. VCU knocked off USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and<br />

top-seeded Kansas, while Mason defeated Villanova. The Rams were<br />

ranked No. 6 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the<br />

highest ranking ever for a CAA team. In 2006, George Mason captured<br />

the nation’s imagination by be<strong>com</strong>ing the first mid-major program since<br />

1979 to reach the Final Four, posting victories over Michigan State,<br />

North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way.<br />

Six CAA women’s basketball teams advanced to postseason<br />

play in 2011. James Madison represented the conference in the<br />

NCAA Tournament after capturing its second straight conference<br />

championship. Delaware, Drexel, UNC Wilmington, Old Dominion<br />

and VCU participated in the WNIT, with the Seahawks advancing to<br />

the second round. ODU, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA<br />

titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979,<br />

1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997.<br />

The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have<br />

<strong>com</strong>bined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship<br />

began in 1981. At least two women’s soccer teams have advanced to<br />

the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the past four<br />

seasons and William & Mary gave the CAA a team in the final 16<br />

of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship for the sixth time in the<br />

last nine years. In men’s cross country, William & Mary advanced<br />

to the NCAA Championship for the 12 th straight year and finished<br />

19 th overall. In the pool, Towson’s Meredith Budner finished as the<br />

runner-up in the 500 freestyle and 1650 freestyle at the 2011 NCAA<br />

Championship and received All-America honors along with George<br />

Mason’s Ashley Danner. Delaware and Towson have each reached the<br />

Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship in the past<br />

decade. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball<br />

Championship in nine of the last 14 years and has had at least 12<br />

players selected in the eight of the last nine Major League Baseball<br />

drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in lacrosse,<br />

tennis, golf, track and field, women’s lacrosse and wrestling.<br />

CAA member institutions are<br />

<strong>com</strong>mitted to excellence in the<br />

classroom. The Colonial Academic<br />

Alliance was created in 2002 by the<br />

league’s presidents with a goal of<br />

expanding their partnership to all<br />

aspects of university life outside of<br />

intercollegiate athletics. Among the<br />

programs that have been established are<br />

an undergraduate research conference,<br />

coordination of study abroad programs<br />

and granting visiting academic status<br />

to student-athletes traveling to an away<br />

contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers<br />

and <strong>com</strong>puter labs.<br />

In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded<br />

academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn,<br />

a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia<br />

Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry,<br />

and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason<br />

University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences.<br />

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its<br />

inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three<br />

of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison<br />

University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned<br />

with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and<br />

the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South).<br />

During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two<br />

new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and<br />

American University) and decided to form a new association. The<br />

transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985.<br />

Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington<br />

and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University<br />

in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The<br />

conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University,<br />

Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State<br />

University and Northeastern University became members of the<br />

conference on July 1, 2005.<br />

Hofstra in the Community<br />

The Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse program is active in many<br />

<strong>com</strong>munity service endeavors. In 2011 the Pride took part in<br />

more than 15 projects as a team or in conjunction with Hofstra’s<br />

player Nick Colleluori and raises money and awareness for the<br />

treatment of blood cancer. Colleluori started the foundation before<br />

succumbing to non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006.<br />

The third annual Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic was held on<br />

September 24 at Hofstra University and the event was a success for the<br />

second straight year as it raised nearly $34,000 to help bring awareness<br />

Classic has raised more than $100,000. The inaugural event in 2009 saw<br />

$32,000 in contributions, while the 2010 tournament raised $42,000.<br />

“We are very honored to host the Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse<br />

Classic,” <strong>com</strong>mented Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach Abby Morgan.<br />

“Nick meant a lot to so many people and we hope that the funds we raise<br />

during the event will assist in the fight against this dreaded disease.”<br />

2011 Game Summaries<br />

Game One versus Boston College: Moira Barry scored three second<br />

half goals as the 19th-ranked Eagles of Boston College pulled away<br />

from #20 Hofstra in the final 30 minutes for a 14-9 victory in the<br />

season opener for both teams at James M. Shuart Stadium. The Eagles<br />

outscored the Pride, 9-5, in the second half to open their season with a<br />

win. Hofstra’s Stephanie Rice had three goals and an assist in the losing<br />

effort.<br />

The Pride trailed at the half, 5-4, after a back and forth opening 30<br />

minutes. Brittany Wilton’s third goal of the opening half, off a feed from<br />

Barry, broke a 4-4 tie with 14 seconds left in the opening stanza.<br />

The Eagles looked poised to break it open in the second half as Sam<br />

Taylor and Barry scored unassisted goals at 28:47 and 28:29 to make it<br />

7-4 in favor of BC. But Hofstra battled back and scored four of the next<br />

six goals to make it 9-8 with 20:11 on the clock.<br />

Jacquelyn Ardolino got the spurt started for the Pride with a free position<br />

goal at 25:18. After a Kristin Igoe goal gave BC an 8-5 advantage, Rice<br />

scored her third of the game at 23:17 and Claire Brady scored off a feed<br />

from Rice at 21:59 to make it an 8-7 game. Igoe snapped the run with a<br />

goal at 20:26 before Brady scored again at 20:11, this time converting<br />

a breakaway pass from Jenn Ward to make it 9-8 in favor of Boston<br />

College.<br />

That would be as close as Hofstra would get as Boston College reeled<br />

off four straight goals, two by Barry, to take a 13-9 lead with 11:49<br />

remaining. Ardolino would score from Brady at 8:24 and Wilton netted<br />

her fourth of the game with 1:40 left to close out the scoring.<br />

Game Two at Oregon: Led by a career-high five points from Stephanie<br />

Rice, the #20 Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team rallied from a late twogoal<br />

deficit to earn a 12-11 overtime victory over Oregon on Sunday<br />

afternoon.<br />

Jaclyn Pandolf was stellar in net for the Pride as she had a career-high 13<br />

saves, including a pair in overtime, to lead Hofstra’s defensive efforts.<br />

Rice contributed three goals and a career-high two assists in the contest,<br />

including notching the eventual game-winner with 50 seconds left in<br />

overtime off a feed from Lindsay McKinnon.<br />

It was an evenly played contest as the two squads went into halftime<br />

knotted at six after Oregon’s Jana Dummond tied the score at six with an<br />

unassisted goal with 10 seconds left.<br />

Claire Brady notched Hofstra’s first two goals of the game, including an<br />

unassisted tally at the 13:17 mark that brought the Pride to within 3-2.<br />

That goal started a 4-1 scoring run for Hofstra that gave the Pride its first<br />

lead of the contest at 5-4 following a goal from Jill Maier with 3:54 left<br />

in the first stanza.<br />

The Ducks would score the first three goals of the second half and looked<br />

to be in control as they led 9-6 following two straight goals from Bina<br />

Barrett. Jacquelyn Ardolino would end the run with two straight goals of<br />

her own before Barrett pushed the lead back to 10-8 with her fifth goal of<br />

the contest at the 16:43 mark.<br />

The duel between Ardolino and Barrett would continue, though, as<br />

Ardolino closed the gap to 10-9 with her third goal of the game with<br />

11:54 remaining. Hofstra would finally even the score again, for the first<br />

time since early in the second stanza, when Jennalee Trombley converted<br />

a free position shot with 4:44 left in regulation to tie the game at 10.<br />

Rice was all over the field in the overtime session as she assisted on<br />

the Pride’s first goal, which came off the stick of Casey Kellogg before<br />

tallying the game-winner in the final minute.<br />

Drummond did close the gap to 12-11 with an unassisted goal with 21<br />

seconds remaining in overtime, but Hofstra held on to improve to 9-3 in<br />

its last 12 overtime contests.<br />

Ardolino finished with three goals and one assist, while McKinnon<br />

added one goal and two assists in the contest. Katie Hertsch had two<br />

ground balls, two draw controls and a caused turnover for the Pride.<br />

Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team to a <strong>com</strong>e-from-behind 13-9 victory<br />

over Denver at James M. Shuart Stadium.<br />

Maier was not alone in leading the Pride to the victory as Katie Hertsch<br />

was stellar throughout the contest, contributing game-highs of seven<br />

ground balls and four caused turnovers. The seven ground balls were a<br />

new career-high for Hertsch.<br />

The six goals doubled Maier’s previous career-high as the talented<br />

second-year player notched three goals on three separate occasions<br />

during her rookie campaign.<br />

Denver took a 7-6 halftime advantage as the Pioneers scored two straight<br />

goals midway through the first stanza to lead 4-3 after a goal from Kara<br />

Secora.<br />

The game would be tied at five after an unassisted goal from freshman<br />

attack Lindsay McKinnon before Denver got goals from Lauren<br />

Cic<strong>com</strong>ascolo and Melissa Maier to lead 7-5 with 4:30 remaining in<br />

the opening period. Hofstra would take the momentum into the break<br />

as Stephanie Rice scored a free-position goal with just three seconds<br />

remaining to cut the deficit to 7-6 for the Pride.<br />

The Pride would take <strong>com</strong>plete control <strong>com</strong>ing out of the intermission<br />

as Hofstra scored the first four goals of the second stanza to open a 10-7<br />

advantage, forcing Denver to utilize its first timeout of the contest.<br />

Maier was the star early on in the second half for Hofstra as she had<br />

three goals in the first four minutes of the second stanza. In fact, Maier<br />

would score five of Hofstra’s first six goals in the second half, the last<br />

one <strong>com</strong>ing at the 19:58 mark that gave the Pride a <strong>com</strong>manding 12-7<br />

advantage.<br />

Denver managed to cut the Hofstra lead to 12-9 with two straight goals,<br />

but Rice put the finishing touches on the win with a free-position goal at<br />

the 3:24 mark to close the scoring in the game.<br />

Rice added three goals, three ground balls, two caused turnovers and a<br />

draw control for Hofstra, while Claire Brady chipped in with two goals.<br />

Alex Mezzanotte added two assists, three draw controls and a caused<br />

turnover for the Pride.<br />

Denver was led by Melissa Maier, who had two goals and two assists.<br />

Game Four at Albany: Ariana Parker had a game-high seven goals for<br />

Albany to overshadow a hat trick from Jacquelyn Ardolino as the Great<br />

Danes captured a 13-8 decision over the No. 20 Pride.<br />

Hofstra got off to a hot start in the contest as the Pride led 3-0 after less<br />

than three minutes of play courtesy of goals from Lindsay McKinnon<br />

Maryann Miller and Ardolino. McKinnon got Hofstra on the board first<br />

at the 28:55 mark before her teammates added goals over the next 1:30 to<br />

push the lead to three goals.<br />

Parker would almost single-handedly bring Albany back in the game<br />

as she scored four of the Great Danes next five goals to give the home<br />

squad a 5-4 lead with exactly 15 minutes to play in the opening stanza.<br />

Ardolino quickly evened the score at five just 15 seconds later before the<br />

Great Danes took control and ended the half with three straight goals to<br />

lead 8-5 at the break. Albany would continue its run to start the second<br />

half as they notched the first four goals of the second stanza to open a<br />

<strong>com</strong>manding 12-5 lead with less than nine minutes remaining.<br />

Jill Maier would tally two goals in the last four minutes of the contest for<br />

Hofstra, but it would be too late as Albany captured the 13-8 win over<br />

the Pride.<br />

Alexandra Hannon<br />

Maier added an assist for the Pride to tie her with Ardolino for team-high<br />

to lead six Penn scorers as the fourth-ranked Quakers posted an 8-4<br />

victory over Hofstra at James M. Shuart Stadium.<br />

The Quakers used a methodical attack to open up a 3-0 lead midway<br />

through the first half. Erin Brennan scored off a pass from Giordano at<br />

the 3:32 mark to open the scoring. Giordano scored nearly 10 minutes<br />

later when she converted a pass from Bridget Waclawik for a 2-0 lead.<br />

Waclawik closed out the run with an unassisted tally at the 16:51 mark.<br />

Maryann Miller put the Pride on the scoreboard with 5:40 left in the<br />

half as she scored the first of her two goals on the afternoon off a free<br />

position attempt. But Tory Bensen put the Quakers back up by three,<br />

4-1, with an unassisted goal with 3:02 on the clock. The Pride pressed on<br />

and drew a foul with under 10 seconds left in the half, resulting in a free<br />

position shot. Claire Brady converted the shot and Hofstra trailed, 4-2 at<br />

the half.<br />

Stephanie Rice cut the Pride deficit to 4-3 with a free position goal 2:21<br />

into the half. But that was as close as Hofstra would get as Penn ran<br />

off four consecutive goals over an 11-minute span to take an 8-4 lead<br />

following Kelly McCallion’s goal off a rebound with 13:38 remaining.<br />

Miller closed out the scoring with an unassisted goal with 7:09 to go.<br />

Game Six at Rutgers: Jill Maier scored five goals to lead Hofstra back<br />

from a 7-3 halftime deficit, but Lindsey Watts scored a free position goal<br />

1:46 into the second overtime as the Rutgers Women’s Lacrosse team<br />

edged Hofstra, 11-10, at the RU Turf Field.<br />

Maier twice tied the game for Hofstra in the closing minutes of<br />

regulation to help force the extra sessions. Rutgers led 9-7, but a Julia<br />

Riemer goal cut the deficit to 9-8, and Maier’s fourth goal of the game<br />

tied it at 9-9 for the Pride with 8:04 to go.<br />

After Rutgers went ahead 10-9 with 3:32 to play, Maier tied it again at<br />

the 1:24 mark to make the score 10-10. Hofstra got the ball back and<br />

nearly scored the game-winning goal at the regulation horn after a save<br />

from goalkeeper Jaclyn Pandolf set up a transition attempt, but the<br />

officials ruled that the shot was late, sending the game to overtime. The<br />

Pride outshot Rutgers, 17-9, in the second half, after Rutgers had a 21-5<br />

advantage in the opening half.<br />

Rutgers took a 7-3 lead into halftime after a late 4-0 spurt. Hofstra tied<br />

the score at 3-3 on a goal from Stephanie Rice with 7:16 left in the half,<br />

but Rutgers reeled off four goals in the final 4:15 to take a 7-3 lead into<br />

the break. Lindsey Watts started the run with a goal at the 4:15 mark, and<br />

capped it off with a goal with 12 seconds left.<br />

Rutgers outshot Hofstra, 21-5, in the first half, but the Pride regrouped<br />

at intermission and scored the first three goals of the second half to get<br />

back within 7-6 in quick fashion. Rice scored off a feed from Claire<br />

Brady just 39 seconds into the second stanza, and Jenn Ward and<br />

Jennalee Trombley tacked on goals to get Hofstra within 7-6 with 25:32<br />

to go. After Marlena Welsh scored for the Scarlet Knights, Maier found<br />

the back of the net for the Pride at the 22:47 mark to make the score 8-7.<br />

Rice finished with two goals, one assist, two draw controls and a ground<br />

ball for Hofstra, while Pandolf had 13 saves and a team-high four ground<br />

balls. Emily Corzel added two caused turnovers for the Pride.<br />

Watts had five points (three goals, two assists) for the Scarlet Knights,<br />

while Ali Steinber added five draw controls, three ground balls, one<br />

Game 7 at Penn State: Jill Maier scored a team-high three goals, but<br />

it was not enough as Penn State used a huge scoring run in the second<br />

stanza to pull away for a 16-7 victory over Hofstra at Holuba Hall.<br />

Bettina Mianulli had a career-high three ground balls for the Pride in<br />

the contest and also added a caused turnover. Jaclyn Pandolf once again<br />

reached double figures in saves with 12 against the Nittany Lions. She<br />

Penn State got on the board first with an unassisted goal just 1:30 into<br />

the game before Hofstra responded. Jacquelyn Ardolino would knot the<br />

game at one at the 27:57 mark with a goal off a pass from Claire Brady<br />

before Maier gave the Pride its first lead of the game with 21:29 left in<br />

the opening stanza.<br />

The Nittany Lions evened the score less than two minutes later as Jen<br />

Steadman found the back of the net for the second time in the game.<br />

After a scoreless drought of over eight minutes, Penn State regained<br />

a one-goal advantage with a Molly Fernandez tally. The game would<br />

continue its’ back and forth nature as Maier scored her second of the half<br />

and tied the game at three with 10:34 to play before intermission.<br />

Penn State took a two-goal lead into the break as Fernandez and Laura<br />

Lesnick scored for the Nittany Lions. Lesnick’s tally allowed the Nittany<br />

Lions to take all the momentum into the intermission as she scored with<br />

11 seconds remaining.<br />

Hofstra scored to open the second half as Maier continued to perform for<br />

the Pride, but it was all Penn State after that. The Nittany Lions would go<br />

on to score nine straight goals en route to the 16-7 victory over the Pride.<br />

Brady tied Maier for team-high honors in points with three on one goal<br />

and two assists.<br />

Penn State was led by Steadman, who had five goals in the game.<br />

Game Eight versus Fairfield: Lindsay McKinnon led a balanced<br />

Hofstra attack with three goals as the Pride easily dispatched of Fairfield,<br />

15-6, at James M. Shuart Stadium.<br />

Hofstra had nine different goal scorers in the contest, with five different<br />

players scoring at least two goals. The win ended a four-game losing skid<br />

for the Pride. Maryann Miller was Hofstra’s leading scorer in the contest<br />

as she had two goals and two assists.<br />

Jaclyn Pandolf had a game-high eight saves in the game for Hofstra<br />

to earn the win. It marked the first game this season that Pandolf, who<br />

added two ground balls, had not reached double figures in saves.<br />

Hofstra looked to be in trouble early in the contest as the Stags scored<br />

the first two goals of the game, both off the stick of Reilly, and led 2-0<br />

three minutes into the game.<br />

Claire Brady would get the Pride on the board with 24:24 left in the<br />

opening stanza before Fairfield extended the lead back to two goals with<br />

23:20 to play on a goal from Amanda Best.<br />

Hofstra would take over at that point, though, as the Pride scored the<br />

final seven goals of the opening half to lead 8-3 at the break. McKinnon<br />

would lead the way in the run as she tallied all three of her goals during<br />

the 7-0 spurt to allow Hofstra to earn the five-goal advantage.<br />

Fairfield opened the scoring in the second stanza as Jenna Slowey tallied<br />

an unassisted goal at the 28:39 mark before sophomore midfielder Jill<br />

Maier and freshman attacker Jenn Ward each scored to allow Hofstra to<br />

take a <strong>com</strong>manding 10-4 lead with just over 24 minutes left in regulation.<br />

The Stags attempted to make a <strong>com</strong>eback as they scored the game’s next<br />

two goals but Hofstra once again put together another huge scoring run<br />

as they notched the contest’s final five goals to establish a new seasonhigh<br />

in goals scored.<br />

Stephanie Rice had three points on a goal and two assists in the game,<br />

while Brady chipped in with two goals and one assist. Bettina Mianulli<br />

led Hofstra in both ground balls and caused turnovers with three in each<br />

Game Nine versus Notre Dame: Lindsay McKinnon capped a stunning<br />

4-0 game-ending run for the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team as she<br />

notched a free-position goal with 7.8 seconds remaining to lift the Pride<br />

past No. 17 Notre Dame, 10-9, at James M. Shuart Stadium.<br />

McKinnon was stellar throughout the game as she tied for team-high<br />

honors in points with two goals and two assists, while Stephanie Rice<br />

tallied three goals and an assist in the contest. Jaclyn Pandolf continued<br />

her outstanding play this season as she had a game-high 11 saves,<br />

including several from point blank range.<br />

Hofstra trailed the Fighting Irish, 9-6, with just over seven minutes left<br />

in the second stanza before Jill Maier began the game-ending run with a<br />

free-position goal of her own.<br />

Maier’s goal with 7:27 left on the clock made the score 9-7 in favor of<br />

Notre Dame, but Hofstra would need another three minutes before they<br />

closed the gap any further. The Pride narrowed the deficit to 9-8 with<br />

4:30 to play as Rice scored off an assist from Jennalee Trombley. The<br />

<strong>com</strong>eback would be <strong>com</strong>plete with just under three minutes remaining as<br />

Maier scored her third goal of the game and second of the game-ending<br />

run to even the score at nine with 2:48 remaining in the second half.<br />

Hofstra went into the halftime break trailing 6-5 as Notre Dame used a<br />

late 3-0 run to turn a 4-3 Pride lead into a 6-4 Fighting Irish advantage<br />

with 2:21 left in the opening half following a goal from Kailene Abt.<br />

Hofstra scored the final goal of the half as Trombley scored off a feed<br />

from Rice with 1:10 left before the break to close the gap to one.<br />

The first half was a back-and-forth affair as it featured five tie scores and<br />

five lead changes. Notre Dame opened the scoring at the 28:06 mark as<br />

Maggie Tamasitis scored before Hofstra answered with two straight to<br />

take its first lead of the game. Rice scored the Pride’s first goal, while<br />

Jenn Ward put Hofstra ahead for the first time in the contest with a goal<br />

at the 21:54 mark off an assist from McKinnon.<br />

Hofstra, which played without two key starters in senior defender Bettina<br />

Mianulli and sophomore attacker Claire Brady, got three draw controls,<br />

two ground balls and two caused turnovers from Katie Hertsch. Pandolf<br />

led Hofstra with a career-high nineground balls, while sophomore<br />

midfielder Casey Kellogg and junior defender Chrissy Jones tied Pandolf<br />

and Hertsch for team-high honors with two caused turnovers.<br />

Tamasitis led Notre Dame with five points on two goals and three assists,<br />

while Shaylyn Blaney had three goals and one assist. Blaney added five<br />

Hofstra scored the first three goals of the contest as Brady opened the<br />

scoring at the 28:15 mark before Jennalee Trombley followed to make it<br />

2-0 and then Jacquelyn Ardolino put the Pride up by three with 21:09 to<br />

play before the intermission.<br />

Hofstra would still hold a two-goal advantage, 4-2, following another<br />

tally from Brady with 1:55 left in the opening stanza, but the Blue Hens<br />

to play as Julianna Jeffers notched an unassisted goal before the Blue<br />

Hens added an insurance goal with 1:43 to play off the stick of Holly<br />

Burman en route to the 7-6 victory.<br />

The Burman goal would end up being huge for Delaware as Mezzanotte<br />

tallied the first goal of her collegiate career with 55 seconds left to cut<br />

the Pride deficit to 7-6. The Blue Hens won the ensuing draw control and<br />

were able to run out the clock to hold on for the one-goal win.<br />

Junior goalie Jaclyn Pandolf made 10 saves in net for the Pride and also<br />

added a team-best three ground balls.<br />

Game 11 versus Towson: Led by four goals from Jess Dunn, the Towson<br />

Women’s Lacrosse team outscored Hofstra, 9-0, in the second half as the<br />

Tigers broke open a tight game to defeat the Pride, 18-9, at James M.<br />

Shuart Stadium.<br />

Jaclyn Pandolf<br />

Draw controls were huge for Towson in the second stanza as the Tigers<br />

goals.<br />

Jill Maier led Hofstra with three goals in the contest, while Claire Brady<br />

posted a team-best four points on two goals and two assists for the Pride.<br />

Hofstra got off to a hot start as the Pride scored the first five goals of the<br />

contest and led 5-0 after a goal from Stephanie Rice with 22:29 left in<br />

the opening stanza. Maier got Hofstra on the board to start as she scored<br />

just 40 seconds into the contest. She would add another goal during<br />

the game-opening run to make it 3-0 before Taylor Albright and Rice<br />

followed to give Hofstra the early advantage.<br />

Towson immediately answered, though, as the Tigers used their own<br />

5-0 run to knot the score at five with 9:26 left before halftime on an<br />

unassisted goal from Dunn. The remainder of the first half saw the two<br />

squads account for eight goals in the final 7:40 of the half as the teams<br />

went into the break tied at nine. Towson looked poised to take a 9-8 lead<br />

into halftime before Brady beat the clock and notched a goal right before<br />

the buzzer to even the score at nine.<br />

It would be all Towson after the intermission, though, as the Tigers broke<br />

the nine-all tie with a goal from Rhiannon Coogle at the 26:02 mark and<br />

cruised from there en route to the nine-goal victory.<br />

Coogle had three goals during the game, including two in the second half<br />

Katie Hertsch also had a strong game for the Pride as she contributed<br />

four draw controls and two caused turnovers to Hofstra’s efforts.<br />

The start of the game was delayed for 40 minutes as two officials were<br />

late arriving to the contest. Once the game got underway at 7:40 p.m.,<br />

William & Mary managed to find the back of the net first as the Tribe<br />

scored three times in a 1:11 span and held a 3-0 lead with 22:17 left in<br />

the opening stanza following a goal from Maggie Anderson.<br />

After being held scoreless for the first 16-plus minutes of the game,<br />

Hofstra would finally get on the board at the 13:26 mark as Alex<br />

Mezzanotte tallied her second career goal on a free-position shot to<br />

cut the deficit to 3-1. The Tribe would add to its lead following the<br />

Mezzanotte goal, though, as William & Mary scored the final three goals<br />

of the half and led 6-1 at the break.<br />

Hofstra started the second half scoring as Taylor Albright notched a goal<br />

just 49 seconds into the half to close the gap to 6-2. Mezzanotte was key<br />

again for the Pride as she assisted on the goal.<br />

After a scoreless drought of roughly four minutes, William & Mary<br />

upped its advantage as the Tribe scored two straight goals to open an 8-2<br />

lead with 22:34 left following a tally from Grace Golden.<br />

William & Mary would cruise to the victory at that point as the Tribe<br />

went on to earn the 13-8 win.<br />

Mezzanotte finished with a goal and an assist for the Pride, while also<br />

adding two ground balls, one draw control and one caused turnover.<br />

Junior goalie Jaclyn Pandolf faced 36 shots in net for Hofstra and made a<br />

career-high 17 saves.<br />

Golden had three goals and an assist for the Tribe, while Kyrstin<br />

Game 13 at Old Dominion: Despite two goals from Jenn Ward,<br />

the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team dropped a tight 6-4 decision to<br />

Old Dominion at the Powahtan Sports Complex. Ward’s strong game<br />

followed her three-goal effort in the Pride’s game at William & Mary on<br />

Friday.<br />

An evenly played game saw the two squads go into the break knotted<br />

at two as Jill Maier found the back of the net off a pass from Maryann<br />

Miller with 4:24 left before the break.<br />

Jennalee Trombley<br />

The goal came after a lengthy scoring drought for both teams as the Lady<br />

Monarchs took a 2-1 lead on a Lisa Bernardini goal with 21:55 to play<br />

in the first half. Ward notched Hofstra’s first goal of the game with 23:28<br />

showing on the clock after Sarah Wright of ODU had opened up the<br />

scoring.<br />

Alyssa Dragon would give Old Dominion an early 3-2 lead in the second<br />

stanza before sophomore midfielder Casey Kellogg scored a freeposition<br />

goal with 19:10 left in regulation to even the score at three.<br />

After a nearly five-minute scoring drought, Bernardini put ODU up once<br />

again but Ward answered less than two minutes later to make it 4-4 with<br />

12:54 to play.<br />

Hofstra would be unable to get over the hump, though, as Sarah Wright<br />

scored the game-winner with 5:55 remaining and Rebecca Hartrum<br />

added an insurance goal with 2:02 left to give the Lady Monarchs the 6-4<br />

victory.<br />

Hofstra lost despite holding a <strong>com</strong>manding 10-2 advantage in draw<br />

controls, led by six from Maier.<br />

Jaclyn Pandolf led Hofstra with three ground balls, while also making<br />

eight saves in net. Katie Hertsch and Chrissy Jones each tallied two<br />

caused turnovers and two ground balls for the Pride.<br />

Bernardini led ODU with three points on two goals and one assist.<br />

Hannah McBee picked up a game-high four ground balls.<br />

six points set against Denver on February 25 of this season.<br />

Maier was all over the field in the first half as she accounted for seven<br />

points in the opening 20 minutes on five goals and two assists. Hofstra<br />

scored the game’s first three goals as Maier scored the first two and then<br />

Jennalee Trombley added the third off a feed from Maier.<br />

George Mason would close the gap to 4-2 roughly halfway through the<br />

opening stanza before the Pride pulled away down the stretch in the first<br />

half and scored the final five goals of the stanza to lead 9-2 at the break.<br />

Maier scored two straight after the Patriots had got to within 4-2 and<br />

then scored the final goal of the opening half with 2:29 left on the clock.<br />

Hofstra was never challenged in the second half and took its largest lead<br />

of the game at 15-4 with 14:55 left on a goal from Lindsay McKinnon .<br />

Maier wasn’t able to tie her career-high of six goals (set against Denver)<br />

as she was held without a point in the final 30 minutes.<br />

Four different players added two goals for the Pride as Trombley,<br />

Stephanie Rice, Jenn Ward and McKinnon all chipped in with a pair of<br />

goals. Alex Mezzanotte was second on the team in scoring in the contest<br />

with one goal and three assists and posted a team-high five ground balls.<br />

Game 15 versus James Madison: Mary Kate Lomady scored a gamehigh<br />

four goals to lead No. 12 James Madison to a 9-8 victory over<br />

Hofstra on Sunday afternoon at James M. Shuart Stadium.<br />

Senior defender Katie Hertsch gave Hofstra an 8-7 advantage with 5:12<br />

left when she scored her first goal of the season, but Lomady tied the<br />

game up with four minutes left and Ashley Kimener scored the gamewinner<br />

with just 55 seconds remaining to give the Dukes the narrow win.<br />

Jill Maier led Hofstra with three goals, while Claire Brady tied her for<br />

team-high honors in points with a goal and two assists.<br />

An evenly played first half saw the two squads knotted at six at the break.<br />

Hofstra trailed 5-2 roughly halfway through the opening stanza after<br />

Monica Zabel scored before Jenn Ward and Brady scored less than a<br />

minute apart to close the gap to 5-4 with 15:46 to play.<br />

Lomady put the Dukes back ahead by two goals, 6-4, with a free position<br />

goal at the 13:42 mark, but once again Hofstra had an answer.<br />

Alex Mezzanotte would find the back of the net with 11:47 to play before<br />

intermission and then Stephanie Rice tied the game at six for Hofstra<br />

with 10:56 showing on the clock.<br />

Hofstra would continue to give the nationally-ranked Dukes all they<br />

could handle in the second stanza as neither team was able to find the<br />

back of the net until Maier gave Hofstra a 7-6 lead off a feed from Brady<br />

with 18:23 to play in regulation.<br />

Caitlin McHugh would even the score at seven with 16:43 left and then<br />

the game would stay tied until Hertsch scored her first since notching a<br />

goal at Stanford in March of last season.<br />

Hertsch finished with a game-high four ground balls in the contest,<br />

Game 16 versus Drexel: Led by four points (two goals and two assists)<br />

from freshman midfielder Alex Mezzanotte, freshmen and sophomores<br />

<strong>com</strong>bined to account for 11 of Hofstra’s 13 points as the Pride rallied for<br />

a 9-8 victory over Drexel at James M. Shuart Stadium.<br />

Senior attacker Stephanie Rice was the lone upperclassmen to tally a<br />

point in the contest as she notched a pair of goals, including the gamewinner<br />

with 5:23 left in regulation on a free-position shot.<br />

The Pride had its most dominating effort of the season in draw controls<br />

as they won 17 of the 19 contested, including all 10 in the opening<br />

stanza.<br />

Back-to-back goals from Mezzanotte and freshman attacker Jenn Ward<br />

midway through the first half would allow Hofstra to take its first lead of<br />

the contest at 3-2 with 12:50 to play before intermission.<br />

After the two squads alternated goals, the Dragons scored the final two<br />

goals of the half to lead 5-4 at the break. Charlotte Wood, who scored a<br />

game-high four goals in the contest, had three first half goals, including<br />

one with 13 seconds remaining to give Drexel the one-goal advantage.<br />

Drexel opened the second stanza by scoring three of the first four goals<br />

of the half and looked to be in <strong>com</strong>plete control as they led 8-5 with<br />

15:25 left following a free-position goal from Amanda Norcini.<br />

Hofstra had other ideas, though, as Ward scored her second of the game<br />

with 14:41 to play off a feed from sophomore attacker Claire Brady to<br />

close the gap to 8-6 and kick-start the game-ending run.<br />

Rice, one of six seniors playing in their final game, stepped up when<br />

needed most as she scored with 10:22 to play and then sophomore<br />

midfielder Jill Maier evened the score at eight with 8:48 left. Both of<br />

those goals were assisted by Mezzanotte.<br />

With the out<strong>com</strong>e of the game still in the balance and under six minutes<br />

remaining, it was Rice that continued the Hofstra onslaught as the 96th<br />

goal of her career would win the game and allow the Pride to head into<br />

Stephanie Rice<br />

the offseason on a positive note. That goal capped a game-ending 4-0<br />

scoring run for the Pride that gave them their 18th straight win over<br />

Drexel.<br />

Maier and senior defender Katie Hertsch carried Hofstra in the draw<br />

control category as Maier had a career-high seven draw controls, while<br />

Hertsch added four.<br />

Junior goalie Jaclyn Pandolf had five saves in net to pick up her sixth<br />

win of the season and also led the Pride with five ground balls. Pandolf<br />

played every minute this season in net for Hofstra and totaled 159 saves.<br />

Ward and Brady both had two points for Hofstra in the contest as Ward<br />

scored a pair of goals, while Brady had two assists to finish with a teamhigh<br />

17 this season.<br />

Hertsch added a caused turnover to her draw control total, allowing<br />

her to finish her spectacular career with 138 ground balls, 70 caused<br />

turnovers and 110 draw controls. She finishes her career ranked third alltime<br />

in ground balls, fifth in caused turnovers and sixth in draw controls.<br />
