Elon Aims for .500 in Colonial Clash at Hofstra STEWART MANOR, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Elon Phoenix visit the Hofstra Pride in a Colonial Athletic Association women’s basketball matchup on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, with both teams looking to build on recent victories. Elon (13-13 overall) enters the contest at the Mack Sports Complex having won three of its last four games, including a 70-57 home win over Northeastern on Sunday. The Phoenix have found consistency near the .500 mark and will seek a winning record with a victory. Hofstra (6-19) snapped a three-game skid in emphatic fashion with a 75-43 rout of UNC Wilmington, also on Sunday. The Pride will aim to harness that dominant performance to secure a rare winning streak. A key matchup will feature Elon’s Quinzia Fulmore against Hofstra’s Micaela Carter. Fulmore, a consistent contributor, is coming off a 12-point effort against Northeastern and had a double-double of 8 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Towson earlier this month. Carter exploded for a season-high 23 points in the Pride’s latest win, showcasing her scoring potential after an 18-point game against Stony Brook in late January. Elon’s recent success has been fueled by balanced scoring. In the win over Northeastern, Kamryn Doty and Ashanti Fox joined Fulmore in double figures with 11 points each. The Phoenix have averaged 70.3 points in their last three wins. Hofstra’s victory over UNC Wilmington saw Carter lead a trio of double-digit scorers, with Ema Karim adding 12 points and Sana’a Garrett contributing 11 points and four assists. The Pride’s defense held the Seahawks to just 43 points, a season-best defensive performance they hope to replicate. The game is the first of a critical final stretch for both teams as the regular season winds down. Elon will look to solidify its position in the conference standings, while Hofstra aims to play spoiler and build momentum for the offseason. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern. Following this contest, Elon travels to face Stony Brook on March 1, while Hofstra hits the road to play Monmouth the same day.
