STEWART MANOR, N.Y. (Interstat) — In a Colonial Athletic Association contest defined by grinding defense and critical free throws, the Northeastern Huskies edged the Hofstra Pride 62-60 in women’s basketball on Sunday at Mack Sports Complex. The game, a low-efficiency battle where neither team shot better than 44% from the field, was ultimately decided at the foul line and by ball security. Northeastern converted 21 of 24 free throw attempts, while Hofstra managed only 11 of 18. The Pride also committed 18 turnovers, leading to crucial extra possessions for the Huskies down the stretch. Hofstra’s Sandra Magolico, a 6-foot-2 forward from Maputo, Mozambique, controlled the interior with a game-high 12 rebounds to go with six points. Guard Chloe Sterling of Kennesaw, Georgia, led all scorers with 20 points for the Pride. Alarice Gooden of Brampton, Canada, added 14 points and Micaela Carter, also from Brampton, contributed 11. Northeastern countered with a balanced attack. Justice Tramble of Canton, Michigan, paced the Huskies with 13 points. Camryn Collins of Foxboro, Massachusetts, scored 10, while Morgan Matthews of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and Alyssa Staten of Statesboro, Georgia, added nine and eight points, respectively. Staten also grabbed six rebounds. The most pivotal sequence unfolded in the final minute with Northeastern clinging to a narrow lead. After a series of timeouts and intentional fouls, the Huskies’ composure at the line proved decisive. With 33 seconds remaining and Northeastern leading by three, Justice Tramble was fouled and sank both free throws to extend the lead to five. Hofstra’s Micaela Carter answered with a 3-pointer with one second left on the clock, pulling the Pride to within two at 62-60. The Pride immediately fouled Camryn Collins on the ensuing inbounds play with 0.4 seconds remaining. Collins, demonstrating the poise that characterized Northeastern’s fourth quarter, sank both free throws to seal the victory, as Hofstra’s desperation heave at the buzzer was unsuccessful. The game was a stark contrast in offensive execution. Northeastern scored 62 points on 67 possessions for an offensive rating of 92.0, while Hofstra managed 60 points on 68 possessions for a rating of 88.8. The Huskies shot just 38% from the field and 21% from 3-point range but their work at the charity stripe and an 8-5 advantage in steals provided the necessary margin. Hofstra shot 44% overall and hit seven 3-pointers to Northeastern’s three, but the Pride’s struggles with turnovers and free throws proved insurmountable. Northeastern also dished out eight assists to Hofstra’s five. With the win, Northeastern improved to 6-10 overall. Hofstra fell to 3-14. According to National Statistical’s ELO system, Hofstra had entered the game with a 79% probability to win. Northeastern visits Monmouth next Sunday. Hofstra travels to face Towson on Friday.

Preview: Northeastern Huskies at Hofstra Pride STEWART MANOR, N.Y. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking momentum in Colonial Athletic Association play will meet Sunday when the Northeastern women’s basketball team visits the Hofstra Pride at Mack Sports Complex. Both programs enter the contest with struggling overall records. The visiting Huskies (5-9) snapped a three-game skid with a 72-67 home victory over Monmouth last Sunday. The Pride (3-12) have lost two straight, including a 67-38 defeat at Drexel in their last outing. Northeastern will look to build on its latest win, which featured balanced scoring. Justice Tramble scored 13 points in 16 minutes off the bench, while Camryn Collins added a team-high 19 points and Taylor Holohan contributed 14. Tramble, a player to watch, has been a key contributor, averaging 13.3 points over her last four games, including an 18-point performance at UNC Wilmington on Jan. 2. Hofstra counters with forward Sandra Magolico, who is coming off a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in the loss to Drexel. Magolico has been a force on the boards, grabbing 14 rebounds in a win over UNC Wilmington on Jan. 4. The Pride will need a stronger offensive showing after being held to 38 points, their lowest output of the season, against Drexel. Historically, this conference matchup has been closely contested. Both teams will view this as a critical opportunity to gain ground in the CAA standings. For Northeastern, the game begins a stretch of two road contests in three days. Hofstra continues a homestand before hitting the road next weekend. Tip-off is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 18, 2026.
