on Long Island rival Stony Brook University in a doubleheader on Saturday,

doubleheader, with Hofstra claiming a 7-2 victory in game one behind the strong

score of 8-1, pitcher Brandon Santos’ performance was a highlight for the Pride,
as he struck out 7 of the 8 batters he faced.

Club Women’s Ultimate
Frisbee began the season in Elmer, New Jersey as a part of the Jersey Devil
Tournament on Saturday, September 22nd and Sunday, September 23rd,
posting a 1-5 record over the course of the weekend. In the team’s 9-3 victory over
Rowan University, Haley McPartland fueled the Pride with 4 goals, Jess Siskind
had 3, and Lauren Small and Kathleen Brussell each added a goal.
Club Men’s Ultimate
Frisbee also participated in the Jersey Devil tournament, compiling a 2-4
record over the weekend. Tyler McCarthy stood out for Hofstra, as he posted a
Callahan in the team’s loss to Rowan University. A Callahan is when a defensive player intercepts the disc in the opponent's
end zone for a point. It is a rare occurrence, because it requires a defender
to intercept, rather than simply block, a pass in the offense's own end zone.

deficit to 28-26. Ray Brown would add two more tries to extend Hofstra’s lead
