Hofstra Women’s Rugby
Club continued their fantastic form on Sunday, October 11th, with
a 17-10 win over Rutgers, a team who the Pride had not defeated in
over four years. The win clinched a berth in the Tri-State Conference Playoffs
for the team. A regular on the scoresheet, Kim Tran again led the way with two tries,
and Nery Mendez tacked on another to pace the Pride. The team will next be in action on Saturday, October 24th when they take on the University at Albany in the Tri-State Conference Quarterfinals.
Hofstra Women’s
Ultimate Frisbee Club traveled to Rutgers University on Friday, October 9th
and Saturday, October 10th to compete in a tough tournament bracket that
included Rutgers, Columbia, and Yale among others. The Pride came away with one
victory on the trip: a nail-biting 11-10 decision over The College of New
Jersey.
Hofstra Men’s Ultimate
Frisbee Club also spent some time in
the Garden State, as they participated in the Autumn Sky Tournament in Mercer,
New Jersey on Saturday, October 11th and Sunday, October 12th.
The team came out of the gates quick in their first game against Stony Brook,
going up 3-0 in the opening minutes. Stony Brook retaliated with a six-point
streak, but big hucks from Hofstra’s Spencer Riggins and smooth offense from
Colin Adams and Gabe DeOliveira took the Pride into half time with a 7-6
advantage in a matchup they would ultimately win, 11-8. Israel Marin’s
toe-dragging catch in the far right back corner of the end zone was a highlight
of the weekend.
Hofstra Equestrian
Club had another great outing at their show in Selden, New York on Sunday,
October 11th. Julissa Hoogeveen had two gorgeous rides in the Open Flat and
Intermediate Fences divisions, pinning in her over fences class. Kierstin
Berwick pinned in both Intermediate Flat and Intermediate Fences, and Maria
Sorrentino had two fantastic rounds in Intermediate Flat and Novice Fences.
Kate Milford had a successful Beginner Walk Trot Canter class, earning a fourth
place ribbon. The Pride’s Walk Trot riders finished out the day on a high,
which included a difficult mount for Angelina Purcell, who managed to maintain
composure throughout a beautifully handled ride.
