Box Score Hamilton, NY – Hofstra junior Lauren del Valle scored a career-high four goals and senior Jonel Boileau added a goal and two assists to lead the Hofstra Pride to a 7-1, non-conference victory over the Colgate Raiders at Tyler's Field Sunday afternoon. The Pride improved to 1-1 on the season. Colgate is also 1-1 on the year.

Hofstra jumped on Colgate for six first half goals with del Valle coming off the bench to score the first four of the contest. It was the most goals scored by a Hofstra player since Krizia Layne recorded four goals in a 10-0 victory over Siena in 2011. Del Valle, a native of Exton, Pennsylvania, tallied three goals in each of her first two seasons with the Pride.

In addition to del Valle, Boileau, the team captain, scored the Pride's sixth goal of the contest and her first of the year and assisted on first half goals by del Valle and junior Charlotte Loehr. Sophomore Leigh Maxwell-Smith recorded her first collegiate points, assisting on goals by Loehr and classmate Claudia Marin Samper, who tallied a goal and an assist. Sophomores Emily Gallagher and Colby Hussong, a transfer from Miami (OH), also recorded their first points for the Pride with both assisting on del Valle goals.

Freshman goalie Carys Swan, making her first start, needed to make just one first half save to record her first collegiate victory at Hofstra.

The Hofstra goal rush came early in the first half as del Valle scored her first of the season at the 11:09 mark off a pass from Hussong. Less than three minutes later, del Valle struck again off a pass from Main Samper from five yards out. The third Pride goal by del Valle came at the 17:24 mark on a transition break, off passes from Boileau and Gallagher. Del Valle fourth goal came in the 21st minute off a loose ball scramble in front of the goal.

Loehr and Boileau each scored their first goals of the season in the ensuing 12 minutes before Colgate's Jade Dennett snapped the six-goal Pride run with her first goal of the season just 1:27 before halftime.

Marin Samper closed out the scoring for the Pride with her first goal of the season in the 66th minute. Hofstra outshot the Raiders, 15-3 and had six penalty corners to Colgate's two.
