No. 10 Hofstra Rolls Over Manhattan
from press release
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Junior attackman Jamie
Lincoln scored a game-high four goals and freshman Aaron Jones
registered his first career hat trick in leading 10th-ranked
Hofstra to an 18-2 win over Manhattan in a non-conference Tuesday
night matchup at James M. Shuart Stadium.
Jones entered with one goal in his first eight games but tallied
two of his three goals in the second half while adding an assist
for a four-point night.
Junior Jay Card and senior Tom Interlicchio scored two goals each
to lift Hofstra's record to 6-3. Eleven players scored at least one
goal for the Pride. Sal Spatarella scored for the Jaspers as
Manhattan dropped to 4-5.
Hofstra rebounded from a two-goal conference loss to Drexel to post
its second win in three games. The Pride continued its strong
showing at home, moving to 5-0 at Shuart Stadium in out-scoring
opponents, 78-28 during that stretch.
Michael Hamilton capped a string of 16 consecutive Hofstra goals to
open the contest when the freshman buried a shot from five-yards
out late in the third quarter.
Sophomore goalie Andrew Gvozden made 10 saves and was working on a
shutout before Manhattan freshman Tyler Jarvis beat him from
nine-yards out with 27.2 seconds remaining in the third
quarter.
Almost 15 seconds later, freshman Michael Burke raced near the
Jaspers cage and pushed in a close-range shot for a 17-1 lead
heading into the last quarter.
Gvozden came out to start the fourth. Freshmen Rob Bellairs saved
one of two shots on goal and Kyle Dillion made two saves without
allowing goal to close out the win.
Attackman Tyler Corcoran's goal from 6-yards out early in the
fourth quarter galvanized the Hofstra bench. The goal was the first
career marker for the freshman.
Five different Hofstra players-Card, Lincoln, Interlicchio, Brand
Loizeaux and Stephen Bentz-scored in the opening 11:22 to break the
game open. The Pride built a 12-0 halftime lead, holding a 21-12
shot advantage over the Jaspers heading into the locker rooms.
