Vestal, N.Y. - Junior Tyler Botte netted the first two-goal game of his career and Joseph Holland scored a key goal as Hofstra stayed undefeated with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Binghamton on Friday night at Bearcats Sports Complex.

Hofstra erased a 2-1 deficit in improving to 3-0-1 on the season. Head coach Richard Nuttall's team is off to their best start since the 2002 squad began 4-0.  The Pride is now 2-0-1 on the road this season. Hofstra snapped Binghamton's two-game winning streak as the Bearcats fell to 2-3.

Junior forward Chris Griebsch (Dessau-Rosslau, Germany) continued his hot start, picking up two assists to give him a team-leading seven points.

Botte (North Babylon, N.Y.) opened the scoring in the 29th minute when the 6-foot-3 defender headed in Griebsch's corner kick. Botte, who scored four goals as a sophomore, picked up his first goal of 2012 on the play and would score what proved to be the game-winner in the second half.

But after Botte's initial goal, the Bearcats showed the quick-strike ability that lead to wins over Buffalo and Army heading into the contest. Jake Keegan scored two goals in a 33-second span, handing Binghamton a 2-1 edge at halftime.

Keegan scored his first goal off Adam Whitehead's cross in front at 29:30, erasing Hofstra's lead just 1:15 after the opening goal. Almost a half-minute later, Keegan potted a second goal by heading in Marts Reid-Warden's pass at 30:03 for his fifth goal of the season.

Hofstra bounced back in the second half when Holland (London, England) capitalized on Griebsch' s pass and scored from outside the box in the 51st minute to knot the score at 2. It marked the second straight game Hofstra came from behind after salvaging a 1-1 tie at Monmouth on Sunday.

Botte then put Hofstra ahead for good when he scored off a rebound in the 65th minute. The Pride facilitated the play with a corner kick and Botte registered his seventh career goal and his first collegiate game-winner. Junior Herbert Biste (Halle, Germany) picked up the assist on the play for his first point since joining the Pride.

Junior goalkeeper Roberto Pellegrini (Rome, Italy) made three saves total to preserve the win. Hofstra, with Pellegrini playing every second in net, is now 4-0-2 in the last six games dating to the end of 2011.

Hofstra will next be in action on Sunday at Albany with a 2 p.m. start.
