Hofstra (3-5) is coming off a CAA opening weekend split at William & Mary.

JaKayla Brown put up 15.0 points this past weekend, while Rosi Nicholson averaged 10.0 points for the Pride. 

Northeastern played two games against Delaware on Monday and Tuesday instead of their original schedule of this past Saturday and Sunday against Elon, so they will be heading into the first Hofstra game on just two nights of rest. The Huskies dropped both ends of the series to Delaware, 86-59 and 68-61. Mide Oriyomi leads Northeastern with 12.5 points per game, while Kendall Currence is just behind (12.3 ppg) and Stella Clark follows has 11.8 points per contest.
