Philadelphia, PA - Senior Ellen Halseth scored her second goal of the season and Skylar Kuzmich made five saves as Hofstra picked up a 1-0 victory Thursday night at Sweeney Field. The Pride improved to 4-1-1 on the season with the win.

Halseth's goal, which was assisted by freshmen Thorhildur Thorhallsdottir and Wiktoria Fronc, came at the 60:28 mark. From there, the Hofstra defense clamped down and held the Hawks (1-5-1) without a shot the rest of the way. 

Kuzmich matched her season-high in saves. The senior netminder now has 21 career shutouts. 

Hofstra posted nine shots in the game with five on goal. Saint Joseph's goalkeeper Katie Cappelletti made four saves. The Hawks finished with seven shots with five on target.

The victory capped a string of three consecutive road games for the Pride as Hofstra went 2-1-0 in that stretch. The team returns home Sunday night for a 7 p.m. meeting against Oregon.
