Hempstead, N.Y. – The Hofstra Women's Basketball team will play its final home game of the season, hosting Northeastern at 7 p.m. on Friday at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex.
 
The game will serve as the Pride's Senior Night, honoring Kayla Minott, Olivia Askin and Aleana Leon. The team will also be wearing special pink jerseys as part of Hofstra's annual Play4Kay breast cancer awareness game. The first 300 fans at the game will receive a free pink Hofstra trucker hat. 
 
The game will be available via live stats and Pride Productions live video and audio. Links to game coverage can be found on this page and the Hofstra Women's Basketball schedule page.
 
Fans can purchase tickets online, by calling (516) HOF-TIXX, or by visiting the Hofstra Athletics Ticket Office in the Mack Sports Complex.
 
The Pride (11-15, 5-10 CAA) got back in the win column on Sunday afternoon, topping Towson, 83-72. Five players finished in double figures for Hofstra, led by Leon's 19 points, as the Pride shot 50 percent from the field. Sophomore Marianne Kalin picked up her second double-double of the season, finishing with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
 
Northeastern (13-13, 8-7 CAA) fell to Elon, 65-46, and currently sits in fifth in the league standings. The Huskies have swept the season series with UNCW, Delaware and Towson, while splitting with William & Mary and falling twice to James Madison, Drexel and Elon.
 
Hofstra and Northeastern haven't met since last year's regular-season finale, with the Huskies coming away with a 52-46 victory in Boston on March 1. The Pride outscored Northeastern in the first and third quarters, but the Huskies used a lopsided second quarter to take the victory. Northeastern used the win to take a 21-20 advantage in the all-time series with Hofstra.
 
The Pride then hits the road to close out the weekend, heading to Elon for a 2 p.m. game at Alumni Gym on Sunday.
