HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – The No. 24 Hofstra University women's soccer team is set to close out the regular season on Saturday, April 10 as the Pride will host the Towson Tigers for a Colonial Athletic Association battle at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium at 1 p.m. Hofstra has already clinched a spot in the upcoming CAA playoffs, but with a win, Hofstra would earn the top seed in the tournament.
 
The match will serve as Hofstra's senior day where the program will honor its one non-returning senior, Sabrina Bryan prior to the match.
 
Live stats video, and audio courtesy of WRHU will be available for Saturday's match. Links to all three can be found at the top of this release and on the Hofstra women's soccer schedule page on GoHofstra.com.
 
It will be a total of nine days on Saturday since Hofstra last took the pitch, as the Pride last faced Drexel on Thursday, April 1 and came away with a tough 1-1 draw in double overtime. The Pride is entering the match 6-0-1 on the season and 2-0-1 in the CAA.  
 
Hofstra continues to boast one of the most threatening offenses in the nation as the Pride still rank first in all of NCAA Division I in points per game (11.14), while Bryan (2nd - 3.14), Lucy Porter (4th - 2.57), and Miri Taylor (T15 - 2.00) all rank in the top-15 individually in the same category. Goalkeeper Skylar Kuzmich has been tested during her last two appearances as well and she has made seven saves in her last two appearances.
 
Towson enters the match with a 2-3-2 overall record with a 1-2-0 mark in the North division of the CAA. The Tiger's last three contests have been decided with a 1-0 score, as Towson dropped two-straight extra-time bouts to Drexel (2 OT) and Northeastern (1-0) before earning its first division victory of the season over Delaware on Sunday, April 4. Nia Christopher leads the Tigers with three points this season, while five other Tigers have two points. Riley Melendez has played every minute in goal for the Tigers and boasts a 0.857 save rate and 0.65 goals against average.
 
Hofstra holds an all-time record of 22-3-1 against Towson and is on an eight-game winning streak against the Tigers. Last season, Hofstra defeated Towson on the road, 5-1.
 
The CAA Championship is up next for Hofstra, as the semifinals are set to take place at Towson on Thursday, April 15. Match time is to be determined.
