Aaron Estrada scored 25 points for Hofstra, and the Pride ended the nation's longest winning streak by knocking off 18 Charleston 85-81.
— This season, Hofstra has been a one-man show. This time, Aaron Estrada had some help as the Pride ended the nation's longest winning streak.
"That's a really big for our program," Hofstra coach Speedy Claxton said."To beat a nationally ranked team on their home court when they've got it rolling like they do speaks volumes about our kids.""It wasn't just Aaron," Claxton said."He had a great first half, but we had other guys step up and make baskets or get rebounds when we really needed them.
Hofstra, the CAA's leader in field-goal shooting, used that to move past Charleston in the second half as it made 18 of 32 attempts. The Pride led 76-69 with 6:10 to play before the Cougars cut it to two points on Ryan Larson's foul shots with 2:02 to play.This is the second straight season the Pride have beaten a Top 25 team. A year ago, Hofstra defeated then No. 24 Arkansas 89-81. The Pride's only other victory against a Top 25 team came against Southern Illinois in 1976.
Estrada, who had 23 points in the opening half, shredded the Cougars defense at will. Estrada was 5 of 9 from 3-point range.
