A low scoring first half saw Saint Peter's recover from an early six-point deficit to earn a 23-17 halftime advantage.  Hofstra got eight points and six rebounds from Fuller in the opening twenty minutes, but the Pride managed to shoot just 6-22 (27.3%) from the field and committed 15 first half turnovers.  A layup from Fuller gave Hofstra a 14-8 lead at the 10:25 mark, but the Peahens held the Pride without a point until 4:02 was left in the half while going on a 10-0 scoring run to take the lead.

Saint Peter's would up its advantage up to as many as 14 points as they opened the second half on a 12-4 run to lead 35-21 with 16:51 remaining in regulation.  Hofstra would gradually chip away at the deficit and finally regained the lead at 51-50 courtesy of a three-pointer from freshman guard Nicole Capurso with 50 seconds remaining in the second stanza.  It would be the Pride's first lead since holding a 14-13 advantage at the 7:27 mark of the opening half.  The final minute of regulation would be frantic, with Cassandra Bryant sending the game to overtime with a layup with 4.6 seconds left.

The extra session would be all Hofstra, as the Pride scored the first five points of the overtime and held Saint Peter's without a field goal (0-8) in overtime to eventually earn the 64-57 victory.  It was Hofstra's second win in overtime this season (Buffalo), and Fuller put the Pride up for good with a free throw with 3:35 left.

Capurso finished with 12 points for Hofstra, marking her fourth game in a row with double figures.  The Staten Island native, along with Fuller earned all-tournament honors.  Fuller has scored in double figures in six straight games and her four double-doubles leads the team.

Tania Kennedy paced Saint Peter's with a game-high 22 points.

Hofstra will begin Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play this weekend when they host Northeastern on Sunday at 2 p.m.
