Hofstra Defeats Elon In New York

Hempstead, N.Y. – The Elon lacrosse team battled Hofstra early but the Pride used an eight-goal second quarter to pull away for a 17-7 victory in Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) play Sunday afternoon.
 
Freshman Mackenzie Coleman had a career-high three points (two goals and an assist) for the Phoenix. Anna Hackett added three points as well (one goal and two assists) and Kaitlyn Michaud had a pair of second-half goals.
 
With the win, Hofstra improves to 6-4 overall and 3-0 in CAA play. Elon falls to 5-6 overall and 1-2 in conference action.

  • Hofstra jumped out to an early 3-0 lead but Elon answered right back with a three-goal run of its own to tie the score.
  • Mackenzie Coleman scored the first of her two first quarter goals to get Elon on the board and then Anna Hackett recorded a free position goal to cut the deficit to one.
