Hempstead, NY – The Hofstra women's basketball team looks to cap off a magical March run with a conference title and a berth in the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship as the Pride faces off against Charleston in the 2026 Credit Union 1 CAA Women's Basketball Championship Game.

Charleston enters Sunday on a four-game winning streak and winners of six in their last seven.
