Projection: likely out

Hofstra’s résumé is built on true road wins at Pittsburgh and Syracuse and a solid road victory at Penn, plus neutral-site wins over La Salle and Merrimack that demonstrate the team can win away from home; those are the headline moments that give the profile life. Those highs are undermined by damaging defeats at UCF, Iona and Temple and a concerning loss at Columbia that expose inconsistency and blunt the impact of the marquee wins. The Coastal schedule still provides clear chances to flip the narrative with home games against manageable opponents and pivotal road tests at William & Mary and UNC Wilmington along with trips to Monmouth and Stony Brook where road success would materially improve the résumé. Until Hofstra converts those opportunities into reliable road or neutral results its case rests on isolated impressive victories surrounded by too many vulnerable performances.
