Justin Lynskey is a problem for UMass.
Lynskey scored the game-winner to give No. 18 Hofstra a 12-11 victory and key CAA result against the Minutemen.
Lynskey grabbed a rebound, fought through the UMass defense and scored between the goalie’s legs while taking a hit with just under seven minutes left, giving Hofstra the late lead. Two minutes later, he scored again while taking some UMass assault, finishing a Ryan Tierney pass back-handed for what became the game-winner.
Hofstra moved to 6-2, 3-1 in the CAA, coming back to overtake the Minutemen and then hold off a push late.
Lynskey had three goals and two assists, and Tierney put up six points (3G, 3A). Riley Forte (3G, 1A) and Justin Sykes (1G, 1A) had key days offensively, while Brian Herber won 18-of-26 draws.
