Hempstead, NY - Four different Hofstra players scored goals and the Pride team held the Bulldogs to just two shots and one penalty corner as Hofstra defeated Yale, 4-1 in a non-conference game at the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Hofstra, which won its sixth consecutive game, improves to 8-3 on the season. Yale, which dropped its third straight contest, falls to 2-5. Hofstra recorded a seven-game winning streak in 2014.

The Pride received goals from senior Charlotte Loehr, juniors Stella Schoen and Claudia Marin Samper and sophomore Simca Schoen and the Hofstra defense allowed just two shots, the first which the Bulldogs scored on with 2:24 to play to close out the scoring. Only a stellar effort by Yale junior goalie Emilie Katz, who made 14 saves, prevented the Pride from scoring more.

Simca Schoen opened the scoring at the 5:04 mark off a pass from Loehr for a 1-0 lead. It was Schoen's sixth goal of the year and extended her current point streak to five games. The two reconnected seven minutes later with Schoen feeding Loehr for her third goal of the year and a 2-0 advantage.

While the Pride outshot the Bulldogs, 17-0 and had seven penalty corners to none for Yale, Hofstra closed out the scoring in the first half in the 32nd minutes as Stella Schoen notched her ninth of the season off a pass from freshman Madison Reed, who recorded her first collegiate point and a 3-0 lead at the break.

Marin Samper added her team-leading 11th goal of the season, off a pass from junior Colby Hussong at the 62:26 mark. Hofstra goalie Carys Swan, who had no saves, looked as if she was heading toward her first shutout of the season until the 68th minute when freshman Brooke Reese deflected sophomore Kiwi Comizio's shot in front for her first goal.

Hofstra finished the game outshooting Yale, 32-2 and having 14 penalty corners to the Bulldogs one.

The Pride return to action on Friday, October 2 when they host the Pioneers of Sacred Heart University at 3 p.m.
