Hempstead, N.Y. – After Charleston knotted the score at one in the 84th minute, sophomore Rachel Cardinal scored with under a minute to play to give the Hofstra Women's Soccer team a dramatic 2-1 win over Charleston and finish the season a perfect 9-0 in Colonial Athletic Association play on Sunday afternoon at the Soccer Stadium at Patriots Point.
 
The Pride (13-3-2, 9-0 CAA) extended its win streak to 10 games and its unbeaten run to 12. Charleston dropped to 8-8-1 overall and 3-5-1 in conference play.
 
Hofstra's corner kicks continued to be dangerous, as freshman Bella Richards opened the scoring in the 24th minute, putting away a rebound off a Monique Iannella corner for Richards' third goal of the season and second straight game with a tally.
 
The Cougars found the equalizer on a corner as well, putting the Pride under the gun with just over five minutes to play. But Hofstra answered back with senior Kristin Desmond breaking up a clear and Cardinal firing into the back of the net.
 
Hofstra has a bye week while the CAA Quarterfinals are underway and will return to action on Nov. 3, hosting the CAA Semifinals at Hofstra Soccer Stadium.
