Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra University women's soccer season kicks off tomorrow as the Pride hosts Fairleigh Dickinson University in the season opener for both teams. Game time at Hofstra Soccer Stadium is set for 7 p.m.

The Pride is coming off a 17-4-1 record, a Colonial Athletic Association championship, and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2021. The Pride returns 18 players from that championship team including defenders Anja Suttner (All-East Region), Krista Agostinello (3 assists), and Marlene Fries (1 assist), goalkeeper Skylar Kuzmich (0.52 GAA), and forward Ellen Halseth (7 goals, 3 assists).

Fairleigh Dickinson is coming off a 10-6-4 campaign in 2021. The Knights return their top two scorers in Aitana Martinez-Montoya and Naemi Hausen. The pair combined for 14 goals and six assists. Goalkeeper Malene Nielsen, who played every minute last season and recorded a 1.20 goals against average, also returns.

Hofstra is 8-0-1 all-time against the Knights and has won six consecutive games. The teams last met February 25, 2021, with the Pride posting a 5-1 victory.

Following the season opener, the Pride will have an eight-day break before traveling to Yale for a 4 p.m. contest on August 26.
