over the 11th-ranked Hofstra Pride in a CAA contest at Jeffrey Field.<br />

Dolik scored the winning goal on a twisting, running bounce shot from 12<br />

right shoulder. Penn State was led by sophomore Matthew Mackrides with<br />

four goals, Dolik with three goals and one assist and freshman Kyle Van<br />

man-up goal just 2:03 into the contest. Bentz tied the game for the Pride<br />

3:06 later with his 23rd goal of the season. Mackrides gave Penn State a<br />

2-1 lead with 2:28 to play in the quarter with his 28th goal of the year.<br />

Junior Jay Card then started a 6-0 run for Hofstra with just 47 seconds<br />

remaining in the first that gave Hofstra a 7-2 lead before halftime. Card<br />

notched his 23rd goal of the year, off a pass from Loizeaux to close out<br />

the scoring in the first quarter and tie the game at 2-2. Lincoln tallied his<br />

30th of the year 6:45 into the second to give Hofstra its first lead of the<br />

game. Two minutes later <strong>For</strong>d scored his 10th goal of the year, and Steven<br />

DeNapoli scored Hofstra’s fourth unassisted goal of the game 13 second<br />

later to boost the lead to 5-2. <strong>For</strong>d would score a man-up goal, from Card,<br />

with 3:51 to play in the half and Loizeaux notched his 14th goal of the<br />

season 1:12 later to build the 7-2 advantage.<br />

But the Nittany Lions did not lay down and went on their own 5-0 run,<br />

starting with Mackrides scoring twice in the final 1:31 of the half to close<br />

the gap to 7-4 at halftime. Mackrides tallied his fourth of the game, on a<br />

man-up situation, from Chris Hogan, 4:19 into the third quarter to cut the<br />

deficit to two. Nick Dolik scored his 14th of the season with 4:38 to play<br />

in the quarter, from Van Thof before Hogan scored his 13th of the year 90<br />

seconds later to tie the game at 7-7.<br />

his second of the contest with 12 seconds remaining to end three quarters<br />

with the score tied at 8-8. The Pride ran into some hard luck in the period<br />

firing three shots off the posts behind Baker.<br />

Anthony Basciano broke the tie for Penn State scoring in the first minute of<br />
