Streaks, Trends and Notes: - Hofstra is 1-1 to start the year for the third consecutive season and the fourth time in the past five years. - The game against the Tar Heels marked Hofstra s first against a ranked opponent since February 22, 2002 when the Pride dropped a decision to #18 Old Dominion. The #14 Tar Heels were also the highest ranked team that Hofstra has ever faced. - Hofstra will be facing each of their first three opponents this season for the first time in the program s history. If they face North Texas on day two of the Time Warner Classic, it will then be four straight to open the year. - Hofstra is 3-7 in their last 10 season openers (including UNC), 5-5 in their first road game (including UNC) of the season and 5-5 in their first home game (including QU) of the season.

Quick Facts Binghamton University Bearcats (1-1, 0-0 America East) Location: Vestal, New York Founded: 1946 Enrollment: 13,099 Colors: Dark Green, Black and White Conference: America East Home Court: West Gymnasium (2,275) President: Lois B. DeFleur Athletic Director: Joel Thirer Series Meetings with BINGHAMTON: Today s game marks the first-ever meeting between Hofstra and Binghamton. Hometown Flavor: Hofstra has seven players on their roster from the New York tri-state area, including two of the freshmen. The players from the Empire State are: senior Staceyann Claxton (Hempstead, NY) and redshirt freshman Cigi McCollin (Long Island City, NY). Hailing from the Garden State are: senior Tara Dilworth (Sparta, NJ), senior Rume Pela (Cherry Hill, NJ), freshman Shalamar Oakley (Camden, NJ) and freshman Lana Harshaw (Wildwood, NJ). Freshman Vanessa Gidden is from the Constitution State (Stamford, CT). New Look, Same Goal: Although the Pride returns only five letterwinners from a season ago, the goal of pursuing championships remains the same. Hofstra has added four talented freshman, one sophomore transfer and one junior college transfer. In addition, Hofstra returns two players (Dilworth and McCollin) who redshirted during the season. If you are adding at home, that means that the Pride roster includes eight players who were not on the active roster at the end of the season.

3 Coach Legette-Jack: In her first campaign as Head Coach, Legette- Jack guided the Pride to an 8-21 record. She coached the squad to a first round win in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship, which was the first tournament win in five years, and saw her star player Jen Brickey earn second team all-conference and first team All-Metropolitan New York accolades. Brickey and Lauren Hall- Gregory were also named to the CAA All-Academic team. This past summer, Legette-Jack represented the United States as an assistant coach for Team USA at the 2003 FIBA World Championship for Young Women in Sibenik, Croatia, and helped coach the team to a gold medal. "I am thrilled and excited about the upcoming season," Legette-Jack stated. "Our goal this season remains to pursue championships on and off the court. Our President and Administration have done a wonderful job of supporting our program and we are working together to take Pride Women s Basketball to the next level. We will work hard to generate excitement for women s basketball by playing with purpose, passion and pride, and look forward to becoming an integral part of the Long Island community. I feel continually blessed to have been given the opportunity to coach here at Hofstra University. Legette-Jack brought a wealth of collegiate coaching experience to Hofstra. She spent 11 seasons as a Division I assistant coach, with nine years in the Big East Conference at Syracuse University and Boston College, and two seasons in the Big Ten Conference at Michigan State University.

It was the fifth most wins in school history and included three victories over nationally ranked programs. While at Michigan State, Legette-Jack served as the recruiting coordinator and was responsible for signing the 14th-ranked recruiting class in the country for the season. Three of those recruits were residents of the state of Michigan and were ranked in the top 61 in the nation. In addition, Legette-Jack supervised the student-athletes academic progress, and helped organize and direct Michigan State's preseason and postseason conditioning program. Prior to her two seasons at Michigan State, Legette-Jack spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Syracuse University. Legette-Jack was the recruiting coordinator at Syracuse and helped bring in two Gatorade Players of the Year. She was also in charge of organizing all team travel arrangements and coordinating the tape exchange program, while also taking care of the Orangewomen's conditioning schedule. During her tenure at Syracuse, her squads maintained a 100-percent graduation rate. Following graduation, Legette-Jack was the head girls basketball coach at Westhill High School in Syracuse, New York. She compiled a record in two seasons there and had five players earn scholarships to Division I basketball programs. She then spent two years as an assistant coach at Boston College, where she oversaw the academic progress of a team with a 100-percent graduation rate, before moving on to Syracuse. The all-time leading scorer and rebounder in Syracuse history, Legette-Jack is a 1989 graduate with a dual major in child and family studies, and psychology. Legette-Jack scored 1,526 points and pulled down 927 rebounds during her career as an Orangewoman. Legette-Jack was a three-time All-Big East selection, earned Kodak All-American honorable mention accolades twice and was named the 1985 Big East Conference Rookie of the Year.

Cigi McCollin scored a team-high 16 points in her first game back since missing the majority of last season following major knee surgery. The 14 th ranked Tar Heels are the highest ranked team that Hofstra has ever faced and it was the Pride 10 th all-time meeting with a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Last Game Recap: Red-shirt freshman guard Cigi McCollin (Long Island City, NY) scored a team-high 14 points and nailed three free throws in the final 14 seconds as Hofstra University rallied from a nine-point deficit with 7:46 left to defeat Quinnipiac University, 65-62, in the home opener for the Pride. Hofstra, which has won three of its last four home openers, evens its record at 1-1. Quinnipiac, meanwhile, slips to 1-1 following their season opening win over Yale. The first half moved quickly as the two teams combined to commit just seven fouls and neither team took a free throw. After an early 9-4 lead for Quinnipiac, fueled by five points from senior guard Sara Esidore (Portland, CT/Portland), the Pride scored the next 13 points of the game and led 19-9 with 10:26 left before intermission. Junior forward Megan Scott (Oak Hill, VA) and freshman guard Shalamar Oakley (Camden, NJ) each tallied five points during the run as Hofstra opened its largest lead of the game. The Pride still led by 10, 26-16, with 5:27 to go in the half, but the Bobcats closed the half with an 11-5 run and trailed by four at halftime. Quinnipiac opened the second half on an 11-3 run to erase a halftime deficit, and pushed their advantage to as many as nine following an 8-0 run midway through the half. With Quinnipiac leading with 7:46 to play, the Pride gradually cut into the deficit and were able to reclaim the lead at after a McCollin layup with 1:22 to play. A layup from senior center Ashlee Kelly (Pittsburgh, PA) with six seconds remaining cut the Hofstra lead to one, 63-62, but McCollin iced the victory for the Pride as she sank two free throws with four seconds left to give Hofstra its first victory of the season. Junior forward Amaka Agugua (Herndon, VA), who totaled six double-doubles last season, fell one rebound short of her first this season as she was second on the Pride with 12 points and added a team-high nine rebounds. Also in doublefigures for the Pride was Oakley with 11 points, including three of four from beyond the arc. The Bobcats were led by Esidore, who poured in a game-high 20 points, and Kelly with 14 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.
