Dolores Deasley added the Pride's fourth goal of the first half, heading home a corner kick from Marisa Pistone at 40:32.

Erin Magee added a header goal off a corner kick in the 50th minute and Erica Monz closed out the scoring, getting credit for a clear attempt by goalie Ashley Blake that deflected off her legs and into the open net. Blake replaced Bennett in the Stony Brook goal at the start of the second half.

Hofstra dominated on the offensive end, outshooting Stony Brook 27-7 on the afternoon. Rebecca Wachsberger made two saves to earn the shutout. Pistone and O'Connor each finished with two assists.

Stony Brook is back in action this weekend when they travel to Washington, D.C. to face Howard on Friday and American on Sunday.
