SLIP, SLIDING AWAY

Brookline, MA--Hofstra is about an hour away from kicking off against Northeastern here at rain-soaked Parsons Field. The CAA contest will be played on a field that is accumulating puddles near the sidelines (as seen in the accompanying pregame warmup picture).

The CAA contest features a 4-5 Hofstra squad (2-4 in conference play) trying to get on track against a struggling Huskies team (1-8, 1-5). The Pride won last season's meeting, posting a 42-14 victory at Shuart Stadium. Hofstra's last win in this venue was in 2005.
