The CAA is where anything can happen and it usually does.
On Thursday, anything was Hofstra upending top-seeded Delaware, 10-9, to advance to the CAA Tournament championship game for the first time since 2014.
The Pride used two decisive runs an early six-goal spurt and a late three-goal one plus a suffocating defensive effort and a hot hand from an unlikely hero to earn the victory.
Dylan McIntosh, who’s battled injury this year and throughout his career, came into the tournament with five goals all season. He matched that on only eight shots.
Hofstra coach Seth Tierney was emotional talking about McIntosh postgame. He chose the words tearjerking and heart-warming to talk about him and his road through injuries.
