WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary sophomore forward Katie Hogwood (Reston, VA) broke a 1-1 tie with her ninth goal of the year in the 77th minute and the Tribe held off a Hofstra charge as the Tribe gave 18th year head coach John Daly his 250th career win with a 2-1 win over the Pride this afternoon at Albert-Daly Field. The College improves to 7-4-4, 3-1-2 in the CAA, while the Pride falls to 10-51, 4-3-0 in the CAA.

The Tribe outshot the Pride 8-5 as it controlled the opening minutes of the match, but Hofstra got on the board first in the 36th minute. Nina Nanavrakis ran down a loose ball in front of the Tribe goal and sent back to the top left corner of the box to Carol Leurini, who fired home her sixth goal of the year into the lower right corner to give Hofstra the early lead.

A pair of Tribe freshmen gained the equalizer seven minutes later. Emily Kittleson (Virginia Beach, VA) sent a pass to Brittany Bode (Scottsdale, AZ), who scooted down the right side an lofted a high, arcing shot that landed inches over the effort of Pride goalkeeper Becky Wachsberger and into the lower left corner for her first career goal.

The match remained deadlocked until the 77th minute. Taline Tahmassian (Great Falls, VA) gathered a pass deep into the Pride zone and dribbled down the right side all the way to the goal line where she sent a high cross to Hogwood at the goal mouth, who headed home the pass past Wachsberger for the game winner. Hofstra mounted an offensive charge in the last 12 minutes, but the Tribe defense, anchored by Shannon Mosier (Alexandria, VA), Keri Gordon (Clearwater, FL), Lauren Bowers (Burke, VA) and Anna Young (Burke, VA), turned away the threat as the Tribe gained its first conference win since October 1st with the 2-1 win.

Hogwood and Tahmassian have combined to score 12 of the Tribe’s last 14 goals, with Hogwood tallying nine for the season and Tahmassian eight. Both now have 22 points on the year.

Tribe goalkeeper Kellie Fenton (Calgary, Alberta) posted two saves for the Tribe while Wachsberger recorded three. W&M held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.
