Club Sports Roundup


Club Baseball traveled to Lehigh University and swept a three games series from the Mountain Hawks over the weekend of October 6th-7th. Tom Muraca got the Pride off to fast start with a solo homerun in game one, and Hofstra never looked back, as the strong pitching of Stephen Locorriere, James Zobian, John Cooke, and Brandon Santos helped pushed the team’s record to 5-0 in conference. Hofstra will look to finish off the fall season undefeated when they travel to Montclair State University on Saturday, October 27th.

Club Ice Hockey hosted Stevens Institute of Technology at Northwell Health Ice Center on Friday, October 5th. Vinny Cacciatore and David Frattroli would score to give Hofstra a 2-0 lead, but the Ducks would quack back to even the game at 2-2 and send the game to overtime. Neither team would score in the overtime session, and the game would head to a shootout, where Hofstra’s Joe Grice netted the game winner for the Pride, as they won 3-2.
