St. John’s looks to end its two-game losing streak with a win on Tuesday.
QUEENS, N.Y. – After losing its first game on the road this season to Siena on Saturday, the St. John's lacrosse team travels to Hempstead, N.Y., for a Tuesday night showdown with Hofstra at James M. Shuart Stadium.
The game will be streamed live on Pride Productions. Hofstra will also provide a live audio stream through Pride Productions, and live stats through HofstraStats.com. Links for all three can be found on the Hofstra Men's Lacrosse schedule page on GoHofstra.com.
Ticket information can be obtained by visiting HofstraTickets.com, call (516) HOF-TIXX, as well as at Shuart Stadium on game day, or by stopping by the Hofstra Athletics Ticket Office in the lobby of the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex during normal business hours.
Siena's 18-10 victory over the Johnnies (2-3), last Saturday marked the Red Storm's second-straight loss and first loss on the road this season.
Mike Madsen and Declan Swartwood led the way offensively for St. John's, as both midfielders ended the day with three points. Swartwood, as well as Colin Duffy and Joe Madsen, scored two goals against the Saints. Mike Madsen scored a goal in the fourth quarter and dished two assists.
In total, nine Johnnies tallied points in the contest, including a goal from Luke Roediger in the third quarter which marked the first of his senior season.
Freshman goalkeeper Brody Agres recorded a career-high 15 saves and picked up four groundballs in the loss.
Six different Johnnies lined up at the X for faceoffs against the Saints. Colin Bosak, Roediger, and Paul Tornatore each won four faceoffs, combining for 12 of the team's 13 faceoff wins.
Tuesday's matchup with St. John's will mark the seventh game of the season for the Pride (2-4), and the fifth at James M. Shuart Stadium. Hofstra, which has wins over Lehigh and Utah and losses to nationally-ranked Villanova, Georgetown and Ohio State as well as Stony Brook, is coming off a 14-8 loss to ninth-ranked Ohio State at home last Saturday.
The Pride is led in scoring by junior Ryan Tierney with 15 goals and two assists while Whit Stopak now has eight goals and no assists. Sophomore Riley Forte has three goals and three assists while freshman Matt Elder has tallied two goals and four assists. Sophomore goalie Bobby Casey has a 10.29 goals against average with 59 saves and a .488 save percentage.
Seth Tierney is currently in his 13th season as head coach of the Hofstra Men's Lacrosse program. Tierney has led the Pride to 104 victories, the 2008 Colonial Athletic Association championship, the 2009, 2011 and 2014 CAA regular season titles, and berths in four consecutive NCAA Championships from 2008 through 2011.
Last year, the Pride defense ranked second in the nation on their way to a second consecutive trip to the CAA Championship semifinals. Last season, the Pride finished with an overall record of 6-8.
Hofstra and St. John's will be meeting for the 21st time on Tuesday. The Pride hold 15-5 series lead over the Johnnies. The two teams have met each year over the past nine seasons. The Red Storm have only won three games in that stretch.
Last year's highlight win of the season for the Johnnies came against Hofstra as Colin Duffy scored the game-winning goal with 3.7 seconds remaining to break an 8-8 deadlock over No. 19/18 Pride at DaSilva Memorial Field (March 24). It was the Red Storm's first win over a ranked opponent in almost five years.
