MSOC: Hofstra Scores Late To Defeat William & Mary

Williamsburg, VA - Hofstra scored two late second half goals to snap a 1-1 tie and came away with a 3-1 victory over host William & Mary Saturday night at Martin Family Stadium at Albert-Daley Field. The win was Hofstra's first in its last four games (1-2-1).  

The Pride evened its record at 6-6-1 overall and moved to 3-2-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association with the victory. William & Mary dropped to 4-7-2 overall and 2-2-1 in CAA play with its third consecutive loss.  

Hofstra opened the scoring at 20:27 when Stefan Mason sent a cross through the goal mouth from the right side and George O'Malley headed it in at the far post for his third tally of the season. The Pride would have a few other solid chances in the opening 45 minutes, but a header from Matthew Vowinkel was just high and a shot from Storm Strongin went wide right. William & Mary had a few chances as well including a shot from Alexander Levengood at 24:10 that Hofstra keeper Alex Ashton made a full extension diving save on.  

The Tribe evened the score at one at 57:59 as Julian Ngoh scored after a stretch of great ball movement from William & Mary. Nathan Messer and Marcos Villeda were credited with assists on the goal.  

But the Pride responded and took the lead for good at 79:59 minute as Jesse Schleeper collected a rebound from a long shot from Lennart Seufert that hit the left post and put it in the top right corner for his first career goal. Petter Soelberg added an insurance goal at 84:22 as a pass from Storm Strongin glanced off a Tribe defender and went right to Soelberg who blasted a shot past William & Mary keeper Kieran Baskett. It was Soelberg's fourth goal of the season, tying him for the team lead.
  
Ashton finished with three saves on the night while Baskett recorded two.  

Hofstra is back in action next Saturday night (Oct. 26) at home against Delaware. Kickoff at Hofstra Soccer Stadium is set for 7 p.m.
