With two teams ranked in the nation's top 20 in RPI, the Hofstra women's basketball team had its three game winning streak snapped by Ivy League powerhouse Princeton, 74-69 on Thursday night.

Holding a 71-69 lead with 2.9 seconds remaining, a lay-up by Marist guard Casey Dulin as time expired was waived off by the referees as it came out of her hands just a little too late, to give the Pride its third straight victory and the New York Life Holiday Invitational championship.

The Hofstra University women's basketball team advanced to the New York Life Holiday Invitational championship game with a 67-60 win over Central Connecticut State.

JERSEY CITY, NJ-- The Hofstra University women's basketball rebounded from its first loss in a month with a 66-52 win over St. Peter's on Sunday afternoon.

Down one point with 13 seconds left, Hofstra had a chance to put Hartford away and make the Pride's 23 turnovers seem like background noise; instead, senior guard Nicole Capurso gave the ball back to the Hawks to seal Hofstra's fate last night.

After beating Providence last season there was a certain sense of accomplishment surrounding the Hofstra women's basketball team. Providence was a Big East opponent, a nice victory for the mid-major Pride.

Senior guard Nicole Capurso scored her 1,000th career point as a part of a 20-point effort in the Hofstra women's basketball team's 86-71 victory over Georgia State in the Pride's Colonial Athletic Association opener on Sunday.

The Hofstra women's basketball team defeated Seton Hall, 94-74, at the Mack Sports Complex following an impressive performance by junior forward Shante Evans and senior guard Nicole Capurso.

While we took a break to give thanks over the weekend, it was all business in a faraway land for the Hofstra women's basketball team, sweeping the Cancun Challenge down in Mexico with a pair of ten-point victories over Kansas State on Thanksgiving Day and Drake on Black Friday.

Fresh off beating its first Big 12 opponent for the first time in program history in Kansas State, the Hofstra women's basketball team will be taking on another power conference in the Big East when the Pride hosts Seton Hall on Thursday night.

Try not to get whiplash watching this team. 

Team by team, The Chronicle breaks down the Colonial Athletic Association.

Being a point guard in basketball means being a court commander. One must know every player on the team's preferences and run the offense smoothly. The Hofstra women's basketball team has had that the past four (minus one red shirt season) years with senior guard Candice Bellocchio, but with her last season almost here, Hofstra has had to look ahead in finding the point guard of the future -- Andreana Thomas.

The upcoming 2011-2012 season will mark landmark seasons for some of the Hofstra University women's basketball players who are stepping into leadership roles and looking to bring this team to new heights.

Hofstra women's basketball's junior forward Shante Evans received quite the prestigious call last week to represent the United States in the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico from October 21 to the 25.
