Hempstead, NY – Junior Madison Sauve scored twice and freshman Philine de Wolf scored the game-winning goal for the second consecutive game as the Hofstra Pride defeated the Siena Saints in a non-conference field hockey game at the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium Wednesday afternoon.

The Pride, who defeated the Saints for the 13^th consecutive time without a loss in the series, improve to 2-1 on the season. Siena dropped to 0-3 on the year.

Sauve opened the scoring just 8:50 into the contest with her second goal of the year off a pass from freshman Frankie O'Brien following a penalty corner. But the Saints tied the game two minutes into the second half as Brianna Muniz tallied and unassisted tally for her first goal of the year.

De Wolf gave the Pride the lead for good with her second goal of the season off a centering pass from classmate Hannah Zemaitis in the 39^th minute. Sauve gave Hofstra a two-goal cushion in the 56^th minute and was the beneficiary of great work by graduate-student Marloes Schavemaker to boost the lead to 3-1. Hofstra would need that goal as Siena's Molly Hagan scored an unassisted goal of the pads of Pride senior goalie Carys Swan (2 saves) with 2:54 to play in the contest.

Hofstra now heads out for two road games this weekend, traveling to Fairfield for a 1 p.m. game on Friday and New Hampshire for an 11 a.m. game on Sunday.
