The Hofstra Pride men’s basketball team is leagues ahead of where they were at this time last year.
With the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) schedule just about halfway over, and with the Hofstra women’s basketball team gearing up for the final stretch toward the conference tournament in March, it’s clear that there are still plenty of obstacles in the way of the Pride as they look to make a play for the program’s first-ever CAA championship.
In one of their most efficient games of the season, the Hofstra Pride men’s basketball team ran through the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks, winning 96-76 on Rokas Gustys’ record-setting night.
It was a big day for junior Jimmy Yanes as he scored four goals, but the Hofstra men’s lacrosse team, ranked No. 19 in the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Coaches Poll, fell to a 9-8 loss in its final scrimmage of preseason play against the Hobart College Statesmen at James H. Shuart Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Sage Heller and Michael Hughes recorded Pride pins, but they were unable to help Hofstra roar back from its deep deficit as the wrestling team fell 31-12 to the fire-breathing Drexel Dragons.

Super Bowl Sunday is finally here, and this year's game will feature Tom Brady and the New England Patriots taking on the upstart Philadelphia Eagles, led by backup quarterback Nick Foles. We here at the Chronicle have complied our very own predictions for who will be raising the Lombardi Trophy come Sunday.
Nick Foles’ improbable journey to Super Bowl 52 began back in 2012 when he was selected 88th overall in the NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. He was given an opportunity to play when Michael Vick went down with an injury in Week 10 of the 2012 season. It was a shaky final six games for Foles and he was relegated back to the bench the following season.
