Hofstra Drops 3-1 Decision To Elon

Hempstead, NY - In a matchup of teams tied for first place in the Colonial Athletic Association, Elon picked up a 3-1 victory over the Pride at Hofstra Soccer Stadium. The loss snapped a nine-game unbeaten streak and a four-game winning streak for the Pride. 

Hofstra slipped to 9-3-1 overall and 4-2-1 in CAA play with the loss. The Phoenix improved to 8-3-2 overall and 5-1-1 in league action.

All of the scoring took place in the second half as Vemund Hole Vik took advantage of a Hofstra turnover in the box to put a shot past Wessel Speel at 53:35 for a 1-0 lead. Victor Stromsten scored at the 79:55 mark off a corner kick by Scott Vatne to extend the lead to 2-0. Vatne then added a goal of his own at 81:49 when he intercepted a pass from Speel, who was off his line at the top of the box and chipped the ball into the open net. 

Hofstra averted a shutout with three seconds to play when Ryan Carmichael scored on a penalty kick.

Speel had two saves for the Pride, while Ryan Bilichuk recorded three stops for Elon. 

Hofstra returns to action Tuesday night when it travels to Charlottesville, Virginia, for a matchup with the Cavaliers of the University of Virginia at 7 p.m.
