Hempstead, N.Y. – Senior Kristin Desmond scored twice for the Hofstra Women's Soccer team as the Pride topped UNCW, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at Hofstra Soccer Stadium.

The Pride (6-3-2, 2-0 Colonial Athletic Association) is now unbeaten in its last five games, going 4-0-1 over that span.

UNCW (4-6-2, 0-1-1 CAA) got on the board first, with a tic-tac-toe play that ended with a Dominique Martinez headed into the back of the net in the 30th minute. But it took Hofstra just 48 seconds to find the equalizer, with junior Jenn Buoncore playing the ball into Desmond, who beat Seahawks keeper Sydney Schneider.

After Schneider committed a foul in the box, the Pride was awarded a penalty kick, which Desmond calmly put away into the left side in the 57th minute to earn the win.

Hofstra is back home on Thursday, hosting Drexel at 7 p.m. at Hofstra Soccer Stadium.
