Almost six minutes later senior Ryan Carter took a cross-field pass from Colleluori a fired a shot past Schneider from 12 yards out. In the fourth quarter, Stein scored again on a wrap-around just 1:24 into the period before Card tied the game off the pass from Colleluori two minutes later.

UMass ended the run as Reale picked up the ground ball off the ensuing face-off and ran through the Pride defense and beat Hofstra goalie Danny Orlando (5 saves) from five yards for an 8-7 lead. Ford tied the game at 8-8 for Hofstra 2:33 later with a 15-yard bullet after a pass from Card. But a minute later Blum scored his fourth of the season on a 12-yard shot from the left of Orlando, and Pedrick scored on a jump shot from eight yards in front three minutes after that to take a 10-8 lead.

Colleluori brought Hofstra back to within one with 2:44 to play with his second of the game on the run before Card tied the game with 1:12 to play. On the ensuing face-off sophomore middie Joe Montemurro won the face-off and started the Pride on their road to victory.

The Pride outshot the Minutemen, 56-31, including 24-4 in the final quarter.
