Danceworks sets the stage on fire
By Samantha Sedlack Special to The Chronicle It was so good, that graduating senior and Danceworks Production president Nicole “Flo” Flores already reserved her ticket for next year. Hofstra had its dancing shoes tightly fastened on Monday and Tuesday night as the 87 member dance organization performed 13 student choreographed tap, jazz, contemporary and hip-hop pieces. Enthralling a raucous crowd with hip-hop piece titled “Sicker Than Your Average,” choreographed by Nikki Gyftopoulos, social chair of Danceworks, the show started off with a bang. “I think they opened the show really nicely putting the hip-hop first kind,” audience member Luigi Casimir…

Blue Lenex to introduce first studio album
By Katie Webb Editorial Editor Over the past few months, Blue Lenex went from two New Jersey natives and a Philly suburbs girl crooning in a dorm room, to raising over $10,000 in 25 days to produce their first album. “We’re not your conventional band,” said Lex Alvey, one of the three members of Blue Lenex. The self-described, alternative, indie, singer, songwriter, beat boxing, soul, blues artists can’t quite seem to find their niche, and that’s just fine by them. “If we were painters, translating music to painting, we would be the ones with the paintbrushes and the colors just…

By Dion J. Pierre (Staff Writer) The Student Center dining area is not the liveliest place on Friday nights, but on April 19, cardboard boxes lined the room.

Three weeks in April prove memorable for Olivia Galati
By Angelo Brussich SPORTS EDITOR A perfect game? Check. A no-hitter? Check. National recognition that includes being a No. 2 overall draft pick? Check. All in a two-week span? Check. One could say that Hofstra Pride softball senior pitcher Olivia Galati has had an eventful couple of weeks. But all of this has come to be the norm for Galati, who warms up as the weather changes from winter to spring and becomes a near unhittable force on the mound. “You get a feel for playing outside, the weather starts to get nicer, you get to see different teams and…

Hofstra student recounts mass chaos Boston Marathon
By Samantha Neudorf News Editor “My friend grabbed my arm and he was like, ‘Run!’ and I just kind of looked at him.

And that was the last I saw of it.” A senior political science major who wishes to remain anonymous for privacy reasons was visiting a friend at Boston University for the weekend in time for Patriots’ Day—the day of the Boston Marathon.

Students disappointed despite Wi-Fi updates
By Ehlayna Napolitano (Assistant News Editor) “It’s kind of funny to hear everyone I know scream when their Internet goes out,” said Jordan Richmond, freshman marketing major, speaking of Hofstra’s wireless Internet services.

No. 3 North Carolina’s second half explosion dooms men’s lacrosse
By Sean Williams ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The Hofstra men’s lacrosse team floundered against a powerful UNC Tar Heels team at home this Saturday, losing by a score of 14–5 after leading at the end of the first half. Junior Lance Yapor’s two goals and goalie Chris Selva’s career high 17 saves were not enough to stop an intense North Carolina attack, one that scored 10 goals in the second half and was led by senior Marcus Holman, who had seven points. “They have a talented offensive lacrosse team, there’s no getting around it,” said head coach Seth Tierney. “I’m not…
