up in the second half as the Tigers downed Hofstra 15-8 Friday night in a
Colonial Athletic Association matchup.
The win, Towson^Òs third in a row, improved the 13th-ranked Tigers to
4-3 on the season and enabled them to keep their CAA slate clean with a 3-0
mark, giving them a leg up in the league race. The loss dropped the 13th-ranked
Pride to 5-4 and 1-1 in the conference. It was Towson^Òs third win over Hofstra
in the last four meetings between the two CAA rivals but the Pride still lead
the series, 18-13.
Todd Spear got Towson going with a goal off a Brad Monaco feed just
2:30 into the contest. Spear went on to score a team and career high three
goals. Monaco finished with a game high three assists.
Long stick defenseman Adam Baxter tallied on a full field clear and
then Brian Myers scored unassisted to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead before Joe
Kostolansky got the Pride on the scoreboard with 4:20 to play in the first
quarter. But Zak Smith got the goal right back for Towson just six seconds
later when he scored after winning the ensuing faceoff. Kostolansky tallied on
a man up goal and John Kyesor added another Pride goal to pull Hofstra to
within one, 4-3, with 13:38 left in the second quarter. After Spear scored his
second goal Kostolansky answered on another extra man opportunity as the Pride
trailed 5-4.
But Myers scored what seemed to be a back breaker when he beat Hofstra
goalkeeper Matthew Southard with just one second left in the half for a 6-4
Towson lead.
The Tigers went on a scoring spree for the next 26 minutes using an 8-1
run to sprint to a 15-6 lead. The Pride went scoreless for 16 minutes during
Towson^Òs run.
Twelve different players scored for the Tigers, who outshot the Pride
43-35.
Towson keeper Reed Sothoron made 10 saves before being relieved late in
the game. Smith helped Towson with a goal, an assist, nine ground balls and an
11-3 showing on faceoffs. Southard had 11 stops for the Pride.
The Tigers are back in action again Wednesday night when they host UMBC
on Minnegan Field in Towson Stadium at 7:00 p.m. The Pride travel to Fairfield
for a 5:30 non-conference game on Tuesday night.
