BISCHOF'S REACTION
"Hofstra did what they always do. They are very well organized. It was a tough opponent. They are one of the best teams in our region. We kept it together for most of the game but unfortunately in overtime they put one in on us. I think we did a good job this afternoon but we ran into a team that was better than us."

• 8^th minute – Hofstra 1, Stony Brook 0 – Hofstra used good combination play to cross a ball to the far post and the finish was low past Manner for the first goal of the afternoon.
• 15^th minute – Stony Brook 1, Hofstra 1 – Junior Alyssa Francese (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) tied the game on a quick break. Classmate Erin O'Connor (Setauket, N.Y.) fed her down the right flank and Francese caught the Hofstra keeper out of position for the equalizer.
