The Hofstra Pride field hockey team pulled off the most improbable play in all of sports.
"I think we all joke about Hail Marys but to see one just fully executed and win a game with 11 seconds is pretty neat," head coach Courtney Veinotte said.
The players said they knew they could pull off the win if they stayed calm, focused and on the same page regarding the play. Desai, a health sciences pre-med student athlete from Washington, New Jersey, said the win was much-needed boost for the team's confidence after a loss to Northeastern on Friday.
With 11 freshman, it is a younger squad with a veteran presence. Larsson, for example, is a fifth-year graduate student from Argentina. She said the team is extremely close.
