Hanover, N.H. – The Hofstra Men's Soccer team fell to Dartmouth, 3-0, in a non-conference matchup Tuesday night at Burnham Field.
The Pride (1-4-6, 0-0-4 Colonial Athletic Association) outshot Dartmouth (7-2, 1-0 Ivy League), 4-2, in a scoreless first half, but the Big Green used a second-half offensive explosion to take its seventh straight win.
Dartmouth took over momentum after getting on the board with a penalty-kick goal six minutes into the second half. The Big Green quickly added two more tallies, one from Noah Paravinci in the 63rd minute and one from Justin Donawa in the 68th minute.
Senior
Danny Elliott led the Pride with two shots, including a late, long-range try that sailed just high. Freshman

The Pride returns home and to conference play on Saturday with a 7:30 p.m. matchup with Delaware at Hofstra Soccer Stadium.
