LARGEST LEAD OF 2004-0526 (75-49) with 3:48 left in the second half vs. QuinnipiacLARGEST DEFICIT OF 2004-0528 (79-51) with 0:34 left in the second half at Old Dominion

Right out of the Gates: Sophomore center VanessaGidden wasted no time putting a solid freshman seasonbehind her. In the Pride’s opening game of the 2004-05season, a 77-61 win over Quinnipiac, Gidden notched athen career-high 21 points on 8-12 shooting from thefield and 5-8 from the free throw line. She also addedfive rebounds and four blocks and was rewarded for herfine play with her first Colonial Athletic AssociationPlayer of the Week award. Maybe Gidden’s stronggame had something to do with the site of the contest,as it was played in Bridgeport, Connecticut a short 20-mile trip from Gidden’s hometown of Stamford,Connecticut.

It Must be the Water: Gidden returned to her homestate for a second time this season when the Pridetraveled to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield,Connecticut on December 11 and had anotheroutstanding outing. In the Pride’s thrilling 67-66 win overthe Pioneers, Gidden tallied a team-high 19 points andpulled down a game and career-high 16 rebounds asHofstra ended Sacred Heart’s 19-game home court winstreak. The 16 rebounds are the eighth most in a singlegame in Hofstra Basketball history, and the 19-gamestreak was the seventh longest in the NCAA headinginto the contest.

Lights, Camera, Action: With its 55-49 victory over Princeton onDecember 13 of last season, the Hofstra Women’s Basketball teamimproved to 3-0 over the past three seasons when televised by FoxSports New York at Hofstra Arena. If you count their two CAA SunTrust Game of the Week telecasts they are 4-2 on television in the pastfour seasons. This season, the Pride will appear on television onDecember 9 vs. Massachusetts (Metro TV) (L 57-64) and on February6 vs. William & Mary (Fox Sports-NY). Both games will be in thefriendly confines of Hofstra Arena. The UMass loss was Hofstra’s firstloss in a televised game in the past three seasons at home, but thegame aired on Metro-TV, so the streak is still intact.

McCollin played the first fivegames of that season before injuring her knee atStetson.

No Overtime, Please: Since the 1983-84 season, aspan of eight overtime games, Hofstra has managed justone overtime victory. On January 6, 1993, Hofstradefeated Wagner College, 97-95, in double overtime.The last time Hofstra won a single overtime contest wason January 26, 1984, when the Pride defeated MaristCollege, 61-60.

From Far and Wide: The 2004-05 version of the HofstraWomen’s Basketball team features 11 student-athletesfrom nine different areas. Quebec, Canada is the onlyarea that has produced more than one member of thePride as junior Tenicha Gittens (Brossard) andsophomore Lizanne Murphy (Beaconfield) hail fromQuebec. Traveling the farthest to play for the Pride issenior Charlotte Baldrey-Chourio, (3,949 miles or6353.941 kilometers) whose hometown is Surrey,England.

Hofstra, the Pride of Connecticut: In addition tosophomore center Vanessa Gidden’s success againstschools in her home state, the Pride as a team has wonsix straight games, including three this season, againstschool located in the state of Connecticut.

All-Tournament Accolades: Sophomore guard CigiMcCollin earned all-tournament honors at the UMHoliday Classic after she averaged 20.0 points, 6.0rebounds and 3.5 assists in the Pride’s two games at thetournament.

Team Effort?: In Hofstra’s 59-56 win over Drexel onJanuary 27, the Pride’s trio of super sophomores CigiMcCollin, Vanessa Gidden and Lizanne Murphyaccounted for 19 of Hofstra’s 21 made field goals.

Unlucky 13: The number 13 has certainly producedsome bad luck for Hofstra this season…- During the Fordham game, the Rams used a 13-0 runmidway through the second half to take the lead andended up earning a 13-point victory, 62-49, over thePride on November 27.- Against St. John’s on December 1, the Red Stormdefeated Hofstra by 13-points, 83-70, to give Hofstra itssecond loss of the season.- In Hofstra’s game vs. Massachusetts on December 9,the Minutewomen also used a 13-0 run midway throughthe second half and rallied for a 64-57 win over thePride.

Odd, But True: Hofstra had three players with at least10 rebounds against Colgate on November 24 asLizanne Murphy and Vanessa Gidden each had 14,while Lana Harshaw pulled down 11. The last time thePride had three players with double figure reboundingtotals was on January 25, 2004 when those SAME threeplayers did it. In Hofstra’s 48-37 win over JamesMadison that day, Gidden had 13 rebounds, whileHarshaw and Murphy each chipped in with 10.

I’m in a New York State of Mind: Hofstra’s gamesagainst Colgate, Fordham and St. John’s marked astretch of three straight games against schools locatedin New York. Since 1993-94, it is only the second timethat the Pride has played three straight games againstNew York teams. Last season, Hofstra facedBinghamton, Canisius and Columbia in succession.

We Love our Charity (Stripe): In Hofstra’s 71-60 winover Fairfield on December 29, the Pride went 30-35(85.7%) from the charity stripe in the game. It was theirhighest percentage since shooting 84% (21-25) atVirginia Commonwealth on February 20, 2004. Inaddition, the 30 made free throws in the contest were themost for a Pride team since Hofstra sank 31 in a 97-95double overtime win over Wagner on January 6, 1993.

No Mas: If schools located in Connecticut did a littleresearch prior to scheduling Hofstra in the future, theymight want to wait until sophomore center VanessaGidden (Stamford, CT) finishes her career and stopsharassing her home state schools. In the Pride’s threegames this season against schools located inConnecticut, Gidden averaged team-highs of 17.7points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in nearly30 minutes of action. She led the Pride to a perfect 3-0mark in those games, winning by an average of 9.4points per game against schools from the Nutmeg State.

CAA Preseason Info: Coming off its tie for second inthe standings last season, Hofstra was picked fifth in thepreseason poll, which was released on October 27during the annual CAA Media Day, held at the RichmondColiseum.
