scored goals including two goals each by junior Torin Varn and 

freshman Sam Llinares. Junior Lance Yapor added a goal and 

two assists while classmate Drew Coholan tallied a goal and 

an assist. Sophomore goalie Chris Selva posted his second 

win of the season and his career with eight saves and allowing 

just two goals. 

Hofstra opened the season with a 14-9 victory over Sacred 

Heart on February 16 and then dropped a 10-7 decision 

to13th-ranked Princeton on February 23 before the Fairfield

The Pride, who are averaging 10 goals per game and allowing 

seven per outing, are also spreading the ball around offense as 

nine players have scored goals and Hofstra has recorded 

assists on 47% of its scores (14-30). 

Leading the way for the Pride is Torin Varn, who has, in just 

three games this season, recorded single season and career 

highs for goals and points. The Ithaca, new York native has 

tallied 11 goals, topping his previous best of eight last season 

and equaling the total of his first two seasons. He also tallied a 

career-high five goals in the season opener against Sacred 

Heart. 

Llinares is off to a great start to his collegiate career with seven 

goals and four assists to share team-high point honors with

11. Junior Lance Yapor, the Pride’s leading scorer last season 

with 25 goals, is third on the team in points with six and is tied 

for the team lead in assists with four after his three-point day 

Tuesday. Senior Adrian Sorichetti, who led the Pride in points 

with 24 goals and 14 assists for 38 points last season, is fourth 

in 2013 with two goals and three assists. Senior midfielder 

John Antoniades leads the team with 16 ground balls and has 

won 26 of 56 face-offs (.464). 

PRIDE COACH SETH TIERNEY: Seth 

Tierney became the fifth head coach in the 

60-year history of the Hofstra Men's 

Lacrosse program when he was hired to 

the position in August, 2006. Now in his 

seventh season, Tierney has led the Pride 

to 57 victories, the 2008 Colonial Athletic 

Association championship, the 2009 and 

2011 CAA regular season titles, and berths 

in the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 NCAA Championship 

Tournaments. 

Tierney served as an assistant coach at Hofstra from 1995 

through 2000 before leaving for a similar position at his alma 

mater Johns Hopkins University. During his six-year tenure as 

an assistant with the Pride, Hofstra recorded six consecutive 

winning seasons with a combined overall record of 61-28 and a 

conference mark of 29-2, captured five league titles, received 

five top 15 final national rankings, and played in four NCAA 

Championship tournaments. 

Tierney also coached seven All-Americans and nearly twodozen 

all-conference players during his first tenure at Hofstra. 

Among them was midfielder Doug Shanahan, who would 

receive the inaugural Tewaaraton Trophy as College Lacrosse 

Player of the Year, the Lt. Ray Enners Award as the Division I 

Player of the Year, and the Lt. Donald McLaughlin Award as 

the Division I Midfielder of the Year in 2001. 

Last year, the Pride were 6-8 on the year including six onegoal 

losses and four in overtime. Hofstra had one All-CAA first 

team selection in Adrian Sorichetti, two CAA second team 

picks in Mark Mullen and John Antoniades, and three All- 

Rookie team selections in Mike Malave, Ryan Rielly and Tyler 

Begley. In 2011, the Pride enjoyed great success, both on the 

field and in the classroom. Hofstra recorded a 13-3 record, 

captured the CAA regular season title and earned its school 

record-breaking fourth consecutive bid to the NCAA 

Championship. In addition, the Pride had four players, Jay 

Card, Mike Skudin, Andrew Gvozden and John Antoniades, 

earn USILA All-America honors. Card, Skudin, Antoniades, Ian 

Braddish and Adam Mojica were named to the All-CAA first 

team while Gvozden, Steven DeNapoli and Jamie Lincoln were 

voted to the second team. Skudin, who was selected the CAA 

Defensive Player of the Year, also earned USILA Scholar All- 

American and CAA Men's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the 

Year honors. To close out the year, Skudin, DeNapoli and 

Card were named to the North-South Senior All-Star Game 

with DeNapoli leading all goal scorers in the contest with three. 

In 2010, the Pride made its school record-tying third 

consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships and finished the 

year with a 9-5 record. Hofstra had two players named to the 

USILA All-America team, five named to the All-CAA team and 

two more named to the CAA All-Rookie Team. In 2009, 

Tierney directed the Pride to an 11-4 overall, a 6-0 mark during 

the CAA regular season and his second NCAA Championship 

bid. Five Hofstra players were named to the All-CAA Teams, 

including first team selection Jay Card, who was voted the 

CAA Player of the Year. In addition, four Pride players were 

named to the USILA All-America team and one was voted to 

the USILA Scholar-Athlete All-America Team. For his efforts, 

Tierney was named the CAA co-Coach of the Year. 

The 2008 season saw Hofstra make a return to the NCAA 

Tournament after a one-year hiatus. The team posted a 10-6 

record and won the CAA title in a thrilling overtime win over 

Drexel. Leading scorer Anthony Muscarella was named an 

honorable mention All-American, while Kevin Unterstein was 

the CAA Defensive Player of the Year and Jay Card earned 

CAA Rookie of the Year accolades. In addition, seven players 

received All-CAA honors and the Unterstein brothers, Kevin 

and Michael, were named North-South Game All-Stars and 

were both selected in the Major League Lacrosse Draft. 

In his first year at the helm of the Hofstra program, Tierney 

took over a team that returned one starter from 2006’s NCAA 

Quarterfinal squad and led them to a 6-8 record that saw 

seven losses decided by one goal. The team qualified for the 

CAA Championship, saw one of its star players – Kevin 

Unterstein – earn honorable mention All-America honors and 

had seven players named to All-CAA teams, including three 

All-Rookie selections. 

Tierney returned to Hofstra after a six-year tenure at John 

Hopkins, with the final two seasons as associate head coach. 

As the Blue Jays offensive coordinator, he was the architect of 

one of the most potent and explosive offenses in the nation in 

recent years. Tierney directed the Blue Jays attack that 

finished second in the nation in scoring margin, sixth in scoring 

offense and 16th in man-up offense during Hopkins' NCAA title 

run in 2005. The Blue Jays led the nation in scoring offense 

and man-up offense in 2003 and finished fifth in both 

categories in 2004.

THE LAST HOFSTRA-HARVARD GAME – MARCH 3 AT #15 

HARVARD: Freshman long-stick middie Ryan Rielly's first 

college goal with 6:52 to play in the fourth quarter snapped a 6- 

6 tie and gave the Hofstra Pride a 7-6 victory over the 15thranked 

Harvard Crimson at Soldiers Field. 

Braddish and Adrian Sorichetti each added a goal and an 

assist to lead the Pride. Sophomores Steve DiGiovanni and 

Lance Yapor also added goals for Hofstra. Senior Andrew 

Gvozden recorded 13 saves in the Pride goal for his second 

win of the season. 

Harvard was led by senior Jeff Cohen, who tallied three goals 

and one assist. Kevin Vaughan, freshman Sean Mahon and 

Eric Slingerland also tallied goals for the Crimson. Junior Harry 

Krieger stopped 10 shots in the Harvard cage. 

Rielly, a native of East Northport, New York, took a pass from 

classmate Steve Romano near midfield, went down the middle 

and fired a bullet past Harvard goalie Harry Krieger for the 

game-winner. The goal came just 42 seconds after the 

Crimson tied the game on a similar fast-break off a turnover 

that led to an Eric Slingerland goal with 7:34 to play. 

"I am so happy for our guys getting this win today," Pride 

Coach Seth Tierney commented. "To come up here and get a 

win against a very good Harvard team is special. We worked 

hard as a team. Our first three goals were by a freshman and a 

sophomore and another freshman (Rielly) scored the gamewinner. 

So we are growing up a bit but we have more work to 

do to get ready for Notre Dame next week." 

The Pride scored the first three goals of the game to take a 3-0 

advantage 8:10 into the contest. Freshman Tyler Begley 

opened the scoring 2:56 into the contest, scooping up a loose 

ball near the crease and beating Krieger for the first goal of his 

college career. Begley would make it 2-0 almost five minutes 

later, taking a short drop off pass from Braddish and scoring 

from eight yards. Just 48 seconds later, DiGiovanni scored on 

a runner down the right alley for a 3-0 lead. It was his second 

goal of the year. 

Harvard got on the board with 1:24 to play in the quarter as 

Mahon took a pass from Keegan Michel and fired a high laser 

from the left side. But the Pride erased that goal just six 

seconds into the second quarter when John Antoniades won 

the face-off, fed senior Mike DeNapoli, who passed to Yapor 

for his ninth goal of the year and a 4-1 lead. 

But Cohen scored back-to-back goals 2:06 apart to bring the 

Crimson back to within one at 4-3 with 7:34 to play in the half. 

Hofstra's Adrian Sorichetti scored his seventh goal of the year 

with 1:42 to play in the quarter only to see Cohen get the hattrick 

for Harvard, on a pass from behind the cage from Carl 

Zimmerman, with just four seconds remaining in the half to 

close the gap to 5-4. 

Harvard tied the game just 2:14 into the third quarter as 

Vaughan scored coming from behind the goal. But the Pride 

regained the lead four minutes later when Braddish took a 

pass from Sorichetti in the middle of the box and fired a high 

bullet past Krieger for a 6-5 lead. The Crimson tied the game at 

6-6 on Slingerland's fast-break goal with 7:34 to play in the 

game. 

Harvard outshot the Pride, 31-25 and picked up 20 ground 

balls to Hofstra's 18. The Pride won the battle at the face-off X 

as junior John Antoniades won nine of the 17 face-offs in the 

contest.

TWO PRIDE PLAYERS NAMED TO 2013 INSIDE 

LACROSSE FACE-OFF YEARBOOK PRESEASON ALL- 

AMERICA TEAM: Seniors Adrian Sorichetti and John 

Antoniades were named to the 2013 Inside Lacrosse Face-Off 

Yearbook Preseason All-America team. Sorichetti was named 

to the second team while Antoniades was named to the third 

team. 

2013 CAA PRESEASON POLL: Three 

Pride players were named to the 2013 

Preseason All-Colonial Athletic Association 

Men's Lacrosse team and Hofstra was

picked to finish third in the CAA according to a vote of the 

league's head lacrosse coaches, the conference announced 

earlier this month. 

Senior midfielder Adrian Sorichetti (Whitby, ONT, Canada) and 

face-off specialist John Antoniades (Hauppauge, NY), and 

graduate-student defender Mark Mullen (Harleysville, PA) were 

Hofstra's representatives on the Preseason All-CAA team. 

Sorichetti, who was an All-CAA first team selection in 2012, 

scored 24 goals and added 14 assists last season. Antoniades, 

a two-time All-CAA selection including a second team pick in 

2012, was second in the CAA and 22nd in the country in faceoff 

winning percentage last year. He is a 2013 team captains 

and was a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association 

(USILA) All-American honorable mention selection in 2011. 

Mullen, one of four Pride captains this season, was an All-CAA 

second team selection last season while usually marking the 

opponents' top offensive threat. 

Massachusetts, which captured its first CAA men's lacrosse 

championship a year ago, has been picked to win the CAA title 

again in 2013. The Minutemen received five first-place votes 

and finished atop the poll with 35 points. Penn State earned 

two first-place nods and was second with 31 points, while 

Drexel and Hofstra tied at third with 22 points apiece. Delaware 

(16) and Towson (15) placed at fifth and sixth, respectively, 

followed by Saint Joseph's. The league's coaches also 

selected UMass senior attacker Will Manny as the CAA's 

Preseason Player of the Year. 

The CAA boasts three of its seven squads in the Preseason 

United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) 

Top-20, as Massachusetts (12), Penn State (15) and Hofstra 

(20) were ranked earlier this week. Drexel and Delaware 

received votes in the USILA preseason poll. 

Manny, the CAA's 2012 Player of the Year and USILA firstteam 

All-American, led UMass with 77 points on 44 goals and 

33 assists a year ago. He ranked third nationally in points per 

game (4.81), eighth in assists per game (2.75) and ninth in 

goals per game (2.75). Manny was a Tewaaraton Award 

Finalist who notched four game-winners and placed 82.3 

percent of his shots on-frame while posting a 54.3 shot 

percentage, which was fifth best in the NCAA. Manny was 

named CAA Rookie of the Year in 2010 and has earned All- 

CAA honors three-straight seasons. 

Joining Manny on the preseason All-CAA squad at the attack 

position is Drexel's Robert Church and PSU's Jack Forster. 

Church finished last season with 29 goals and 18 assists and 

Forster wrapped up the 2012 season with 27 goals and 15 

assists, as both players earned second-team All-CAA honors. 

Hofstra's Adrian Sorichetti, UMass' Colin Fleming and PSU's 

Nick Dolik earned spots in the midfield on the preseason All- 

CAA team. Fleming had a breakout season for the Minutemen 

scoring 34 points on 26 goals and eight assists and 

spearheaded UMass man-advantage unit, notching seven 

tallies. Dolik has earned All-CAA second team honors for the 

past two seasons and finished last season with 18 goals, four 

assists for 22 points. 

Penn State's Kessler Brown, a junior, earned a spot on the 

preseason All-CAA team as the long-stick after tallying 14 

groundballs, giving up just two turnovers, causing 11 and 

helping PSU lead the league in caused turnovers (7.93 pg) 

with Antoniades as the preseason All-CAA faceoff specialist. 

Four defensemen were honored this preseason, as three 

earned postseason All-CAA honors in 2012. Hofstra's Mark 

Mullen, Towson's John Fennessy and UMass' Jake Smith and 

Ryan Hollenbaugh earned preseason honors. Smith recorded 

28 groundballs and added 11 caused turnovers and teamed up 

with Hollenbaugh, who tallied 25 groundballs and 12 caused 

turnovers, to help UMass hold opponents to just 7.19 goals per 

game, the third-lowest total in the NCAA last season. 

Fennessy helped the Tigers' defense with 18 groundballs and 

14 caused turnovers during his sophomore season. 

Penn State junior goalkeeper Austin Kaut, a two-time All-CAA 

honoree and 2011 CAA Rookie of the Year, is the league's 

preseason goalkeeper. Kaut protected the Nittany Lion's cage 

with a league second-best .584 save percentage and recorded 

a 7.93 goals-against average over 15 games in earning USILA 

All-America second team honors. 

All three games of the CAA Men's Lacrosse Championship will 

be held at the highest-seed in 2013 with semifinals set for May 

3 and the title contest to be held on May 5. These dates are 

flexible based on the host's facility availability and updates will 

be announced on CAASports.com.

* - CAA Title Game 

QUICK WORK IN LAST YEAR’S OPENER: Torin Varn 

wasted little time in scoring the Pride’s first goal of the 2012 

season against Sacred Heart last February. John Antoniades 

won the opening face-off, ran into the attack zone and fed 

Varn, who scored just seven seconds into the season. 

TIERNEY SECOND FASTEST TO 50 WINS: Pride coach Seth 

Tierney recorded his 50th victory as head coach of the Pride in 

his 76th contest. He is the second-fastest to reach 50 wins in

Pride men’s lacrosse history, behind the legendary Howdy 

Myers who did it in 73 games. 

CAATITLES: Hofstra has captured two CAA regular season 

titles under Coach Seth Tierney. Hofstra won the regular 

season title in 2009 and in 2011.. The Pride captured the 2008 

CAA Championship Tournament title in 2008. 

NCAA TOURNAMENT STREAK ENDS AT FOUR: Hofstra’s 

streak of consecutive NCAA Championship Tournament 

appearances ended at four in 2012. The Pride made NCAA 

appearances in four consecutive years, from 2008 through 

2011, for the first time in school history, breaking the string of 

three straight in 1973-75 and 1999-2001. 

HOFSTRA TO HOST 2014 NCAA DIVISION I MEN’S 

LACROSSE QUARTERFINALS. For the eighth time since 

1997, Hofstra University has been selected to serve as host for 

the 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals, the 

NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee announced last 

November. 

The University was named as one of the two sites for the 2014 

Quarterfinals, with the University of Delaware serving as the 

other site. 

James M. Shuart Stadium, which has a new FieldTurf surface 

and a new lighting system for 2013, will host one of the two 

quarterfinal doubleheaders on Saturday, May 17, 2014. It will 

be the first NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinal that 

Hofstra has hosted since May 21, 2011 when eventual national 

champion Virginia defeated Cornell, 13-9, and upstart Denver 

defeated Johns Hopkins, 14-9. 

James M. Shuart Stadium has been an important venue in 

NCAA Lacrosse history as it served as the site of the first-ever 

NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship game in 1971, 

which saw Cornell post a 12-6 victory over Maryland. Since 

then the stadium has hosted first round NCAA Tournament 

games in 1973, 1993 and 2006, and NCAA Quarterfinals in 

1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2011. 

The largest crowds in James M. Shuart Stadium history 

occurred during the hosting of the NCAA Lacrosse 

Quarterfinals. A stadium record of 13,447 spectators, the 

largest-ever lacrosse crowd on Long Island, were in 

attendance for the 2011 NCAA Quarterfinals, while a crowd of 

12,292, a then-NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship 

Quarterfinal, witnessed the 1999 NCAA Quarterfinals. In 2001 

10,510 fans attended the quarterfinals. 

In addition, advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals hosted at 

Hofstra has been a good luck charm for one of the four 

participants. The eventual national champions have come 

through the NCAA Quarterfinals in Hempstead, New York in 

six of the seven previous quarterfinals hosted by Hofstra. 

OUTSHOT: Hofstra was outshot in 11 of their 14 games in 

2012. The only contests in which the Pride took more shots 

were against St. John’s, 38-37, Dartmouth, 39-33, and St. 

Joseph’s, 40-34. 

ONE-GOAL DECISIONS: The Pride were involved in seven 

one-goal games in 2012, posting a 1-6 mark in those seven 

contests. Hofstra had six one-goal decisions in 2009, recording 

a 6-0 mark. In both 2007 and 2008, the Pride had eight one 

goal games with Hofstra going 1-7 in 2007 and 6-2 in 2008. 

NON-CONFERENCE GAMES: The Pride was 4-4 last season 

in non-conference games. Hofstra was a perfect 8-0 in their 

non-conference games in 2011. 

SIX PRIDE PLAYERS WERE NAMED TO 2012 ALL-CAA 

TEAMS: Hofstra junior Adrian Sorichetti led six Pride players 

who were named to the 2012 All-Colonial Athletic Association 

Men's Lacrosse teams.Sorichetti was named to the All-CAA 

first team while juniors John Antoniades and Mark Mullen were 

named to the second team. Freshmen Tyler Begley, Mike 

Malave and Ryan Rielly were named to the CAA All-Rookie 

Team. 

GVOZDEN: 2012 CAA MEN’S LACROSSE SCHOLAR- 

ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: Hofstra goalie Andrew Gvozden 

was named the 2012 Colonial Athletic Association Men's 

Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year last June. Gvozden is the 

second consecutive Pride student-athlete to be named the 

CAA Men's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year following 

Michael Skudin in 2011. 

The CAA honors one Scholar-Athlete in each of its 22 

championship sports. Nominees for the award must be a 

starter or important reserve on their team and must have a 

minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.25. The winners 

were selected by a vote of the sports information directors at 

each CAA institution. 

Gvozden, who graduated from Hofstra with a degree in 

entrepreneurship, was a six-time Dean's List student and was 

named to both the Colonial Athletic Association 

Commissioner's Academic Award and the Hofstra Athletics 

Academic Honor Roll in all four years. 

Gvozden was also one of 74 men's lacrosse student-athletes, 

across all three NCAA divisions, who was named to the 2012 

United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) 

Scholar All-America Team. 

Gvozden, a native of Millersville, Maryland, started all 14 

games playing in 861:18, just 3:33 short of the entire season in 

2012. He recorded an 8.50 goals against average, which 

ranked third in the Colonial Athletic Association and 12th in 

Division I. Gvozden also posted a .551 save percentage which 

ranked third in the CAA and 17th in the country. 

A 2011 USILA All-America honorable mention and All-CAA 

second team selection, Gvozden set a career-high with 150 

saves in 2012. He tallied double-digit saves in nine of the 14 

games including 17 stops against Fairfield and 14 against 

NCAA Championship Tournament teams North Carolina and 

Massachusetts. In 2011, Gvozden led the nation in goals 

against average with a 6.00 mark and ranked third in Division I 

in save percentage with a .602. 

During his Hofstra career, Gvozden played in 53 games, 

posting a 32-17 won-loss record with a 7.82 goals against 

average and a .562 save percentage. 

AT THE FACE-OFF X: In 2011, face-off specialist John 

Antoniades posted a strong challenge to break Joe Carrello’s 

single season face-off winning percentage record of .652 set in 

1989. Unfortunately for Antoniades he fell short, winning 174 of 

271 face-offs that season for a .642 mark to post the third-best 

face-off winning percentage in school history..

CROWD NOTES: The April 10, 2010 crowd of 25,710 at the 

New Meadowlands Stadium was the largest to see a Hofstra 

lacrosse game in school history…The April 18, 2009 crowd of 

6,661 for the North Carolina game at Shuart Stadium was the 

most fans to see a Hofstra lacrosse contest at Shuart Stadium

355-4 record during that time. 

WINNING SEASONS: The Pride have recorded 41 winning 

seasons in program history. In addition, Hofstra has posted

THE FIRST AND THE LAST: With their victories over 

Delaware at Giants Stadium in 2009 and at the New 

Meadowlands Stadium on April 10, 2010, Hofstra and 

Delaware played the first college lacrosse game at the New 

Meadowlands Stadium (Met Life Stadium) and the last 

lacrosse game at Giants Stadium. 

ON THE WALL OF MARGIOTTA HALL: On April 18, 2009, 

Hofstra Athletics retired the jersey numbers of two all-time 

lacrosse greats, Doug Shanahan and Jerry Simandl. They are 

the first two Pride lacrosse players to have their numbers 

retired and jersey numbers are displayed on the wall of 

Margiotta Hall in the south end zone of James M. Shuart 

Stadium. 

Simandl (#10) lettered in lacrosse at Hofstra from 1952 through 

1955 under legendary coach Howard “Howdy” Myers. He 

earned All-America second team honors as a senior in 1955 

after leading the nation in scoring with 102 points and assists 

with 58 while placing second with 44 goals. He was also an allconference 

Laurie Cox Division selection as a senior and was 

named to the USILA North-South Senior All-Star Game. 

Singled out as one of the top ten players that he ever coached 

by Myers, Simandl still holds the Hofstra records for most 

points and most assists in a single season, most assists and 

points in a career, and is third in goals scored in a career in 

Pride history. He finished his Hofstra career with 119 goals and 

119 assists for 238 points. All four of his Hofstra teams were 

nationally-ranked, including the 1955 team that was ranked 

third. 

Shanahan (#26), who played at Hofstra from 1998 through 

2001, was a two-sport All-American athlete in both football and 

lacrosse. While a standout as a defensive back in football and 

leading the Pride in interceptions as a junior and senior, he 

excelled in lacrosse over his four year career at Hofstra. As 

Hofstra’s most honored lacrosse player, Shanahan was a 

three-time All-America selection earning honorable mention in 

1999, second team honors in 2000, and first team accolades 

as a senior. In addition to his first team honors in 2001, he also 

earned: the Lt. Donald McLaughlin Award from the USILA as 

Division I Midfielder of the Year; the Lt. Ray Enners Award as 

USILA Division I Player of the Year; and the inaugural 

Tewaaraton Trophy as college lacrosse’s Player of the Year. 

Shanahan also earned All-America East honors four times, 

picking up first team honors as a freshman, as well as Rookie 

of the Year honors in 1998, as a sophomore in 1999 and as a 

senior in 2001 when he was also voted Most Valuable Player 

honors. He was named to the 2001 USILA North-South Senior 

All-Star Game where he captured the Most Valuable Player 

award. During his Hofstra career, he tallied 95 goals and 44 

assists for 139 points, a school-record 450 ground balls while 

winning 528 of 868 face-offs for a .608 winning percentage. In 

2002 Shanahan was named to the United States National 

Team for the ILF World Championships and earned the ILF’s 

Most Valuable Player Award. He was also voted to the All- 

World Team 

ROYLE-SOMBROTTO LOCKER ROOM: The Hofstra Men’s 

Lacrosse Locker Room was officially dedicated before the 

Pride’s game against Delaware on April 12, 2008. The Harry 

Royle-Vincent Sombrotto Pride Locker Room, named in honor 

of former Hofstra Lacrosse Coach Harry Royle and former 

Pride All-American and National Lacrosse Hall of Fame 

member Vincent Sombrotto, was made possible by a generous 

gift from James Metzger, a former teammate of Sombrotto and 

a standout player under Coach Royle.

REMEMBERING NICK: On November 28 2006, the Hofstra 

University family lost a beloved member of the community with 

the passing of men’s lacrosse player Nicholas Colleluori. His 

14-month battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma was a study in 

courage, dignity and the relentless attitude that he brought to 

everything he did. A son, a brother, a fiancé, a teammate, a 

classmate and a friend, Nick cherished and honored all of 

these titles. He will be remembered for the love and joy that he 

brought to so many people and a spirit that will last forever. 

The Hofstra lacrosse program is active in fund-raising activities 

in the fight against lymphoma. In addition, each year one 

senior, who exemplifies the spirit and relentless attitude that 

Nick displayed, will be selected to wear the number 27 uniform. 

This year’s honoree is captain and face-off specialist John 

Antoniades.

2013 HOFSTRA GAME SUMMARIES 

GAME 1 – SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16 VS. SACRED HEART: Junior 

Torin Varn scored a career-high five goals and freshman Sam Llinares 

scored four goals in his collegiate debut, including the opener just 3:35 

into the game, to lead the 20th-ranked Pride of Hofstra to a 14-9 

victory over Sacred Heart in the season opener for both teams at 

James M. Shuart Stadium. 

Junior Lance Yapor added a goal and an assist and senior Adrian 

Sorichetti added a goal and two assists to help Hofstra win the season 

opener for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Hofstra opened a 

four-goal lead in the opening nine minute in the wire-to-wire victory as 

the Pride improved to 12-0 all-time against the Pioneers. 

Sophomore goalie Chris Selva made 12 saves to record his first 

collegiate victory. Sacred Heart's Mike Mawdsley notched a hat trick in 

the losing effort and Shane Foley finished with two goals. 

Hofstra surged to a 10-3 halftime lead thanks to a fast start in which 

the Pride garnered the early momentum. Llinares, an All-American at 

Hauppauge High School, scored Hofstra's first goal of 2013 with 11:25 

left in the first quarter. Llinares finished with four goals and an assist 

for five points, marking the most goals by a Hofstra freshman since Jay 

Card scored five times versus Sacred Heart in 2008. 

The Pride would never relinquish the lead after Llinares tally. Varn 

scored back-to-back goals just 10 seconds apart and Sorichetti 

converted a man-up opportunity for the 4-0 edge. 

Sacred Heart showed signs of life when Shane Foley and Mawdsley 

scored two quick goals. But sophomore defensive midfielder John 

Reicherter's strike, the first of his career, with 40 seconds left in the 

opening quarter gave Hofstra a 5-2 lead and momentum entering the 

second quarter. 

Hofstra led by as much as seven in the second half after Llinares 

picked up his fourth goal on a wraparound by the cage's left side for an 

11-4 edge with 10:55 on the clock in the third. The cushion proved 

valuable as Sacred Heart went on a four-goal run. Mawdsley scored 

twice in that stretch, finding the net off a rebound with 17 seconds left 

in the third quarter to make it 11-6. 

Seth Richard continued the comeback bid with an unassisted score 

just 12 seconds into the fourth quarter. Mawdsley then made it 11-8 

with 12:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. 

Hofstra's defense would tighten from that point with the Pride not 

allowing another score for a 10:45 stretch. The Pride iced the game in 

a key stretch when Selva made an athletic save on Matt King's laser. 

Selva caught the shot in the pocket and fired an outlet pass to 

sophomore Ryan Rielly. The long-stick midfielder, raced down, got in 

the clear and took it all the way in for a goal and a 12-8 advantage. 

Foley scored with 2:10 left for Sacred Heart, but the Pioneers would 

not get closer than three goals as Varn collected his fifth goal, during 

the Pioneer's full-field ride, with 1:28 left and Mike Malave provided the 

final margin with an unassisted goal in the final minute. Hofstra outshot 

Sacred Heart, 43-32 while the Pioneers picked up 38 ground balls to 

the Pride's 36.

GAME 2 – SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23 VS. #13 PRINCETON: Pride 

junior Torin Varn scored a game-high four goals but the Tigers scored 

five unanswered goals over a 15 minute period in the first half to erase 

a two goal deficit as 13th-ranked Princeton defeated No. 20 Hofstra, 

10-7 at James M. Shuart Stadium. The Pride had their record evened 

at 1-1 while the Tigers are 1-0. 

Varn, who tallied five goals in the Hofstra season opener last week, 

added four more today to give him nine for the season. Junior Drew 

Coholan scored his first of the season, sophomore Mike Malave 

notched his second of the year and freshman Sam Llinares posted his 

fifth of the season to go along with two assists for Hofstra. Pride goalie 

Chris Selva assisted on Varn's second goal of the game early in the 

third quarter. Selva made eight saves in the Hofstra goal. 

Princeton was led by freshman Ryan Ambler with a goal and three 

assists and sophomore Mike MacDonald with three goals. Senior Jeff 

Froccaro and sophomore Tom Schreiber each had two goals and one 

assist while Kip Orban added two goals for the Tigers. Freshman 

goalie Matt O'Connor made six saves for his first collegiate victory. 

After MacDonald opened the scoring with an unassisted tally 2:15 into 

the contest, the Pride scored three unanswered goals, with Malave, 

Llinares and Varn scoring within a span almost seven minutes in the 

first for a 3-1 lead. 

But the Tigers went on a 5-0 run to close out the first half to take a 6-3 

lead-a lead they would not relinquish- at the intermission. MacDonald 

opened the spurt with his second of the game with 1:23 to play in the 

first. Schreiber tied the contest just 1:41 into the second quarter before 

Ryan Ambler scored the Tiger's fourth unassisted goal of the game 

with 8:55 to play to give Princeton a 4-3 advantage. Ambler would then 

assist on the next two goals, MacDonald's third of the game with 5:27 

to play in the second and Jeff Froccaro's first of the year with 1:25 left 

in the half to give the Tigers a 6-3 lead at the break. Princeton outshot 

the Pride, 12-3 in the second quarter to open up the lead. 

Hofstra made a run at Princeton in the third, scoring three of the first 

four goals as Varn notched his second of the game, off a pass from 

Selva, who carried the ball down the field and found the junior in front 

of the Tiger cage just 1:10 into the second half. Orban put the 

Princeton lead back to three at 7-4 off a pass from Froccaro just 1:02 

later before Coholan scored off a pass from Lance Yapor and Varn 

completed his second hat-trick of the year, from Llinares with 4:51 to 

play to close to 7-6. 

But Froccaro scored the only man-up goal of the game, from 

Schreiber, 2:58 into the fourth quarter and Orban notched his second 

from Ambler almost two minutes later to boost the lead to 9-6. Varn 

scored his fourth, from Llinares, with 5:04 to play for Hofstra to close to 

9-7. But Schreiber scored off a pass from face-off specialist Bobby 

Lucas just nine seconds later to close out the scoring. 

The Tigers outshot the Pride in the game, 38-33 and picked up 30 

ground balls to Hofstra's 23. Princeton, which has now won two 

consecutive games over the Pride and five of the last seven, takes a 

14-13 lead in the series.

GAME 3 – TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26 AT #13 FAIRFIELD: Seven 

Pride players scored goals, including two each by junior Torin Varn 

and freshman Sam Llinares, to lead Hofstra to a 9-2 victory over 13thranked 

Fairfield at Alumni Field. The Pride improved to 2-1 on the 

season while Fairfield slipped to 2-2. 

In addition to Varn and Llinares, who also had an assist in the contest, 

junior Lance Yapor tallied a goal and two assists while classmate Drew 

Coholan added a goal and an assist. Sophomore goalie Chris Selva

posted eight saves, including five in the second half to record his 

second win of the season. 

The two teams battled through a spirited but even first quarter with 

each team denting the twine once. Coholan opened the scoring just 

3:28 into the game with his second of the season. But the lead was 

short-lived as the Stags tied the game just 1:30 later as Sam Snow fed 

Nick Guida for his fifth goal of the season. 

Hofstra then went on a four-goal run and took the lead midway through 

the second quarter as Varn notched his 10th goal of the season at the 

7:12 mark, off a pass from Coholan, with Fairfield sophomore Tristan 

Sperry off for a slash. Llinares boosted the Pride lead to 3-1 coming 

around the cage and beating Murphy for his sixth of the season with 

4:20 to play in the half. Hofstra and Selva, who made three saves in 

the half, were helped by the posts in the second as two Stag shots 

bounced off the pipes. 

The Pride added two more in the third as freshman Brian von Bargen 

scored the first goal of his career at the 8:38 mark coming in from left 

side of Murphy for a 4-1 lead. Less than four minutes later, Adrian 

Sorichetti posted his second of the season from the right side off a 

short pass from Yapor for a 5-1 advantage. 

Fairfield junior Jordan Greenfield ended the Pride run with an extraman 

goal, from Snow, with Tyler Johnston off for a cross check with 55 

seconds to play in the quarter. But Hofstra sophomore John Reicherter 

boosted the Pride lead back to four with an unassisted goal on a run in 

from midfield with four seconds to play in the period. It was his second 

goal of the season. 

The Pride blew the game open in the fourth quarter with three goals in 

the final 4:10 as Llinares scored his second of the game at the 10:50 

mark. Yapor then tallied his second of the season, from Llinares, 

almost two minutes later while on the extra-man for an 8-2 advantage. 

Varn then scored his second of the game and 11th of the season, from 

Yapor, also on the extra-man with 1:35 to play. 

The Pride outshot the Stags, 40-26 while the ground balls were even at 

26-all.Hofstra also was successful in 17 of 18 clear attempts.
