Hofstra Men’s Rugby hosted their final home game of the season on Sunday, April 17th, hosting Siena College on the Hofstra Intramural Rugby Field. Kyle Novak opened the scoring for the Pride on the first play of the game with a long try, and the fast start propelled Hofstra to 67-29 victory. Hofstra received multiple tries from Novak, Colin Tomaselli-Greenslade, and Chris Abatiello. For Abatiello, his four scores on the day marked the first scores of his college rugby career.

Sunday, April 17th, hosting a round robin tournament at Hofstra

After falling behind 7-1 at halftime, Hofstra Men’s Club Lacrosse
made a valiant second half comeback, before dropping a heartbreaking
10-9 decision to Fairfield University on Wednesday, April 13th at Hofstra's Shuart Stadium. Hofstra freshmen Keith Marlor and Mike Benvenuti
impressed with two goals a piece, as did sophomore Tyler O’Brien.
Hofstra Women's Ultimate Frisbee Club traveled to Stony Brook University on Saturday, April 16th and Sunday, April 17th, with a Regionals bid on the line. The Pride would post wins over Albany, UConn and Princeton, but it would all come down to a matchup against NYU to determine whether the Pride would qualify for Regionals. Despite falling behind behind 7-4 in the first half, the Pride would fight back to tie the game 10-10 in the late stages of the contest. However, NYU would score the final point to earn an 11-10 victory. Despite the crushing loss, the club was proud to report that the weekend "reinforced our love for the game-because games like that are what Ultimate is all about."
