Hempstead, NY - Sean Henderson had 19 saves and John Madsen tallied six goals to lead the Hofstra men's lacrosse team to a 17-13 win over local rival St. John's on Tuesday evening at James M. Shuart Stadium.

St. John's would answer and score six of the next nine goals in the contest to eventually lead 9-7 at halftime. The Red Storm pushed the lead to as many as four late in the third quarter at 12-8 before Hofstra began to mount the comeback. 

Madsen put the team on his back offensively and started a game-changing 8-0 Pride run that pushed the home team in front at 16-12. Madsen tallied three goals during the run and was helped on the defensive end as Henderson had an incredible 10 saves in the fourth quarter. Madsen's sixth goal of the game would put the Pride ahead 16-12 with 7:01 left before each team tallied goals in the final five-plus minutes to account for the final score.
