Hofstra Blanks UAlbany Behind Two Goals From Thorhallsdottir

Hempstead, NY - Freshman Thorhildur Thorhallsdottir scored two goals and the Hofstra defense limited the Great Danes to just one shot on goal as the Pride came away with a 3-0 victory over UAlbany Sunday afternoon at Hofstra Soccer Stadium. Hofstra remained unbeaten on the young season at 2-0-1, while the Great Danes dropped to 0-4. 

The Pride would get the only score they would need in the ninth minute when an Albany defender headed in a Hofstra corner kick for an own goal. That would be the only scoring in the opening half but the Pride wasted little time in the second half as Thorhallsdottir headed a cross from Margaret Peterson past UAlbany keeper Megan Hart just 2:22 in to make it a 2-0 game. The midfielder from Iceland connected on her second of the game five minutes later when she sent a short corner to Krista Agostinello, who returned the pass at the top of the box, allowing Thorhallsdottir to send a rocket into the upper left corner to close out the scoring. 

The Great Danes had one good shot to get on the scoreboard, but Hofstra keeper Skylar Kuzmich made a lunging save to knock Sahara Zingaino's shot over the crossbar in the second half. 

Hart finished with two saves for the Great Danes in 64:38. Gabriella Terranova played the final 25:22 and did not allow a goal or make a save. 

Hofstra is back in action Thursday, September 1 at Fordham. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
