Hofstra Club Roller Hockey’s DIII team went 1-2 in the ECRHA playoffs. The Pride beat Northeastern 8-4, and lost to Cortland 4-1 and Rowan 5-3.  Nicholas Powers led the team in scoring with 1 goal and 4 assists in the three games. The team finished in fourth place at regionals.

Hofstra Men’s Club Lacrosse traveled to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey to take on both Rutgers and Towson. Against Rutgers, the Pride entered the fourth quarter down 5-2; with just two minutes left to play, the Pride were able to tie the game at 6, only to have Rutgers score the next goal to beat the Pride 7-6.  In the next game against the defending NCLL national champions from Towson University, the Pride would again fall behind early in the first half, but were able to tie the game at 5 in the fourth. Again, the Pride would let up a late goal to lose 6-5.

Learning from their fourth quarter mishaps, the Pride would take that lesson to their next game against Stevens Institute of Technology when they hosted the Ducks on Wednesday, March 8th at Shuart Stadium. In a back and forth game, the Pride were down a goal with under a minute left to play. Junior Ryan Cook was able to tie the game at 10, and junior Ryan Garry was able to net the game winning goal for the Pride to complete his hat trick and secure the 11-10 win for the Pride. Mike Benvenutti scored four goals in the game for the Pride.
