SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Interstat) — The Hofstra Pride and East Carolina Pirates will look to build on opposite ends of the momentum spectrum when they meet in a women’s nonconference basketball game Friday at Coliseo de Puerto Rico.

Hofstra (1-4) enters the contest reeling from a 95-38 home loss to Maryland on Thursday. The Pride have dropped four straight since a season-opening win at Yale, struggling to find consistent offense during the skid.

East Carolina (3-4) arrives in Puerto Rico with renewed confidence after a 73-66 road victory at Illinois State on Thursday. Guard Kennedy Fauntleroy led the way with 17 points and eight assists, while Anzhane’ Hutton added 13 points and five rebounds.

The neutral-site game presents a chance for the Pirates to even their record and for the Pride to halt their losing streak. Hofstra’s defense will be tasked with containing a versatile East Carolina backcourt, while the Pride search for answers after being held under 40 points in their last outing.

Following this game, East Carolina returns home to face James Madison on Dec. 3. Hofstra’s next contest is at home against Fordham on Dec. 6.
