WSOC: Hofstra Gets Past Delaware In CAA Battle

Hempstead, NY - Miri Taylor's first collegiate goal proved to be the difference maker as Hofstra held off Delaware, 1-0, Thursday night in a Colonial Athletic Association game at Hofstra Soccer Stadium.

Hofstra moved to 2-1 in league play and 7-4 overall, winning for the fourth time in the last five games. Delaware slipped to 1-2 in league play and 2-8-1 overall.

Taylor, a freshman from Gillingham, England, put Hofstra on the board as she headed in a long cross from Lucy Porter at 43:57 of the first half. Hofstra had dominated play in the opening half, taking 11 shots compared to just two for the Blue Hens. But Delaware keeper Cali Loeffler made four of her five saves in the first half and limited the damage to the one goal.

Delaware came out in the second half and dictated the play for much of the half. The Blue Hens had seven shots in the final stanza. But Ashley Wilson made three second half stops and Hofstra was able to regain its composure down the stretch to preserve the win.

Hofstra returns to action Sunday against UNCW in a game that will be played at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, due to the affects of Hurricane Florence in the Wilmington area.

Notes:
-Jenna Borresen started the game in goal for Hofstra and made one save in the first half.

-Porter has at least one point in three of the last four games.
-Taylor led the Pride with five shots.
-Hofstra finished with a 16-9 shot advantage, though Delaware held a 7-4 edge in corner kicks.
-Hofstra is 19-7-1 all-time versus Delaware.
