Roche Wins Coaching Debut As No. 20 Hofstra Gets Past Bucknell

Lewisburg, PA - Sean Keane's goal with 9:46 remaining snapped a 1-1 tie and  gave No. 20 Hofstra a season-opening 2-1 road win over Bucknell Thursday night at Emmitt Field at Holmes Stadium. The win was the first for first-year Hofstra Head Coach Stephen Roche, who took over the team in January after serving as an assistant for a decade. 

The Pride improved to 1-0 on the season with the win, while Bucknell dropped to 0-1. 

Keane, a transfer from Auburn Montgomery, notched his first Hofstra goal just 50 seconds after the Bison had tied the score on a goal from Chayse Snyder. The fifth-year midfielder from Ireland sent a shot into the lower left side of goal with Bastian Carlman and Jack Benham credited with assists. 

Carlman, a junior transfer from Fort Hays State, scored the Pride's first goal of the game as he fired a shot into the lower right area of the net off a feed from David Citron at 37:18 for his first Hofstra tally. 

Fifth-year keeper Milo Risenhoover, a transfer from Pacific, made four saves in his Hofstra debut to earn the win. 

Hofstra returns to action Sunday night at 6 p.m. when it welcomes American to Captains Field.
