With two teams ranked in the nation's top 20 in RPI, the Hofstra women's basketball team had its three game winning streak snapped by Ivy League powerhouse Princeton, 74-69 on Thursday night.

A packed Mack Sports Complex of 4,258 fans saw the Hofstra men's basketball team defeat Iona College 83-75 for the Pride's third straight victory. After a shaky first two months of the season, including a four game losing streak, Hofstra improves to 6-7 on the season.

The Hofstra University men's basketball team made it two straight wins with a decisive 82-59 victory over Colgate before entering its final out of conference match-up against Iona next week.

Holding a 71-69 lead with 2.9 seconds remaining, a lay-up by Marist guard Casey Dulin as time expired was waived off by the referees as it came out of her hands just a little too late, to give the Pride its third straight victory and the New York Life Holiday Invitational championship.

The Hofstra University women's basketball team advanced to the New York Life Holiday Invitational championship game with a 67-60 win over Central Connecticut State.

JERSEY CITY, NJ-- The Hofstra University women's basketball rebounded from its first loss in a month with a 66-52 win over St. Peter's on Sunday afternoon.

There was something ominous in the eyes of senior guard Mike Moore on Saturday night.

"We have to learn how to win."

That was the message given by Hofstra men's basketball head coach Mo Cassara after the Pride's 68-59 loss to Manhattan University Saturday night at the Mack Sports Complex. The loss was Hofstra's fourth in a row, dropping its record to 3-7 on the year.

I, presumably like many other upperclassmen, always thought the small village constructed in the back of the Student Center before winter break to be something from the elusive Hofstra Elves. Apparently, I was slightly off in thinking this. Hofstra's Sinterklaas was an event that various student organizations and Greek life participated in. Two or three organizations would get together and build a structure to be part of a village in which kids from the Boys and Girls Club would later play.   

Get into the festive spirit with these Cherry Mint Whoopie Pies! Whoopie pies are the official state treat of Maine, although Pennsylvania also claims to be their place of origin. This dessert consists of a creamy filling sandwiched between two cookie-shaped cakes. It is said that Amish women would bake these treats for their husbands who had to toil in the fields. The dessert is named after the farmers' exclamations of "Whoopie!" upon discovering the baked treats in their lunch packs.

By now many of us have seen the video of eighth grader Jonah Mowry revealing his feelings to the world by flashing index cards for the camera. In fact, as I was leaving Bits & Bytes with my Mile-High burger from BYOB, I saw a diverse group of five students huddled around a laptop watching this video.
