Hofstra vs. William & Mary Prediction
I’m on William & Mary here. The Pride just haven’t lived up to expectations coming into the season as this is an experienced team that just hasn’t been able to string the results together. William & Mary’s had issues of their own, but the Tribe’s recent struggles are partially because they’ve been on the road but it’s been home where the Tribe’s been at their best this season, going 10-0 on the year. We already saw William & Mary pick Hofstra apart on the road earlier this year and I think going back home they could repeat the success here. I’ll go with William & Mary in this one.
