Hofstra improved to 9-6 and 2-1 in the league with an 87-81 overtime victory over James Madison on Friday. The trio of junior Justin Wright-Foreman (26 points, six assists), senior Rokas Gustys (12 points, 18 rebounds) and freshman Jalen Ray (18 points, five three-pointers) led the way for the Pride. Wright-Foreman sent the game into overtime with a three-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in regulation, while Gustys reached the 1,000-point plateau in the second half – becoming only the 35th player in program history. Wright-Foreman is now at 991 career points, looking to become the 36th player in program history. 

Wright-Foreman leads Hofstra in scoring this season pouring in an average of 24.5 points per game. Gustys is third on the team in scoring with 9.7 points per contest, while pulling down a team-best 10.9 rebounds per game. Sophomore Eli Pemberton ranks second on the team with 15 points per game. 

Elon is 10-6 overall and 2-1 in the CAA following a 72-60 loss at Northeastern on Friday. Four players average in double figures for the Phoenix led by Dainan Swoope's 14.3 points per outing. Tyler Seibring is averaging a team-high 6.1 rebounds to go along with 12.9 points per game. Dmitri Thompson led Elon with 19 points against the Huskies. 

Hofstra is 5-2 all-time against Elon with six of the seven meetings occurring since Elon joined the CAA beginning with the 2014-15 season.

Elon won both meetings a season ago after Hofstra had begun the series with five consecutive victories.
