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.

You know when you feel the loneliest? It's when you're in a crowd of people who are all excited to see each other and know each other, and you don't know a soul. That was my experience on my first day returning to Hofstra University. Being a transfer student gives you a whole new perspective on college. Those first few weeks at a new school are more like a job you really hate than school. It was a lonely world for me. I saw so many people from my freshman year classes, but I was too scared that they would not remember me. It was my junior year of college and it felt like I was the new kid in school again.

Senior guard Nicole Capurso scored her 1,000th career point as a part of a 20-point effort in the Hofstra women's basketball team's 86-71 victory over Georgia State in the Pride's Colonial Athletic Association opener on Sunday.

Down one point with 13 seconds left, Hofstra had a chance to put Hartford away and make the Pride's 23 turnovers seem like background noise; instead, senior guard Nicole Capurso gave the ball back to the Hawks to seal Hofstra's fate last night.

We are almost done. Finished. Out the door. Our first semester is almost behind us. Now it is simply a challenge of getting through finals week. Professors you liked all throughout the semester will now turn into enemies as you read the first question on their final exam. Friends will become not only a distraction, but even a threat to your final grade. You will either stop eating altogether or eat more than is normally humanly possible to ingest. (I will choose the latter.)
