Hofstra Club Ice Hockey hosted the undefeated Fordham
Rams on Saturday, February 4th at Northwell Health Ice Center. In the first period, Fordham jumped out to an
early 2-0 lead. Andrew Gagnon put the Pride on the board with nineteen seconds
left in the first to cut the lead 2-1. Hofstra would begin the second period
much stronger. They quickly scored two goals to take a 3-2 lead; both scored by
Elijah Vaillancourt. By the end of the
second period, Fordham would answer with two goals of their own taking a 4-3
lead into the third period. With heavy offensive pressure by the Rams, they
would add another three goals while the Pride fell silent. Fordham beat Hofstra
by a score of 7-3.
On Friday, February 10th, the Pride traveled
to Newark, New Jersey to take on Stevens Institute of Technology for the last
game of the season at the AmeriHealth
Pavilion at the Prudential Center; home of the New Jersey Devils. Brandon
Fauci scored two goals in the first period to give the Pride an early 2-0 lead.
Hofstra wouldn't score in the second period, but only allowed one goal to head
into the third period up 2-1. Halfway through the final period, Stevens would
score to tie the game. Andrew Gagnon would quickly respond for the Pride, which
would then be answered by Stevens to knot the game at three goals a piece
forcing the game into overtime. Just a minute into overtime, Stevens would
score the game winner to defeat the Pride.
Hofstra finished the 2016-2017 regular season with a
record of 3-9-2.
