Goldthorp's Brace Leads Hofstra Past Delaware

Hempstead, NY - Eliot Goldthorp scored twice, including an Olimpico goal, while Ryan Carmichael added a goal and Oliver Svalander had two assists in Hofstra's 3-1 Colonial Athletic Association victory over Delaware Saturday night. Hofstra extended its unbeaten streak to six games with the win.

The Pride moved to 6-2-1 overall and 3-1-1 in the CAA with the win. Hofstra is 5-0-1 in its last six contests. Delaware dropped to 2-6-2 overall and 0-4-1 in league play. 

Goldthorp notched his first goal of the game at the 12:21 mark when he bent in his corner kick just inside the far post. The Olimpico goal gave the Pride a 1-0 lead. Four minutes later, Goldthorp buried a cross from Svalander into the back of the net for a 2-0 lead. 

Delaware would cut its deficit in half at 53:35 as Orri Thorhallsson scored off a pass from Petros Fokas. However, Svalander found Carmichael at the top of the box at the 59:51 mark and the junior forward chipped a shot over Blue Hens keeper Adam Vik to close out the scoring. 

Vik finished with eight saves for Delaware as Hofstra peppered him with 11 shots on goal and 20 shots overall. Hofstra Keeper Wessel Speel did not record a save as the Blue Hens had just one shot on goal and six shots overall thanks to an outstanding defensive effort from the Pride. 

Hofstra is back in action Tuesday night at Columbia with a 7 p.m. kickoff.
