HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Despite a dominant second-half performance, the Hofstra University women's soccer team saw its nine-match winning streak come to an end with a 1-0 setback to Northeastern University at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium Thursday evening.
 
The Pride held a 25-9 edge in shot attempts, including 15 attempts during the second half. Hofstra also netted seven shots on goal, six during the second half, and several others hitting the woodwork.
 
Georgia Brown led Hofstra with six shots on the evening, while Miri Taylor added five attempts and two on goal. Lucy Porter also registered two shots on goal.
 
It was Hofstra garnering two corner kicks during the opening moments, but the Huskies struck first as Rose Kaefer knocked home a bouncing ball in the box during the 26th minute. The Pride threatened late in the half but could not push a goal across before the intermission.
 
Hofstra picked up where it left off out of the locker room, threatening early and often. During the 52nd minute, Louise Hayden whipped a ball into the box to a wide-open Porter, but her left-footed attempt was stopped along the near post by Angeline Friel before rolling along the entire goal line. In the 76th minute, Lucy Shepherd sent in a left-footed cross that found Georgia Brown, but her header was sent aside by a diving stop from Friel to keep the Pride scoreless.
 
Hofstra's final opportunity of the evening came during the 87th minute when Porter lobbed a shot from the top of the box that Friel tipped off the crossbar to help preserve the one-goal victory.
 
The Pride return to action on Sunday, October 17 when Hofstra hosts William & Mary at 12 p.m.
