With Valentine's Day today, we wanted to showcase a special group of people - former Hofstra student-athletes that married fellow Hofstra student-athletes and Hofstra Athletics staff members who found their true love while working at the University.
We are thrilled to share with you the ones we have received so far and are happy to add additional ones to the gallery/list when we get them.
Thanks so much to everyone who submitted photos for this!
Wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy! Go Pride! #RoarWithPride
