Hofstra Club Ice
Hockey hosted the
Kings Point Mariners at the Northwell Health Ice Center at Eisenhower Park on
Saturday, November 12th. The first period was evenly played, with the Pride
scoring first. The Mariners would answer and the first period ended with the
score tied at one apiece. The second period was plagued with penalties, but
despite the slower play, the Pride would score twice to take a 3-1 lead into
the final period of play. The third period proved to be erratic and
unpredictable. The Mariners flew out of the gates to score three goals and take
a 4-3 lead. The Pride wouldn’t fold, and fought to keep the score even. With
the game tied at 7, Hofstra and Kings Point headed to overtime. Only 23 seconds into the overtime period, Joe
Grice was able to put one by the Mariners’ goalie for his fifth goal to secure
the 8-7 victory for the Pride.
