COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Hofstra University men fell, 1-0, to Ohio State at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in the Pride’s final game of the Wolstein Classic Sunday afternoon.

After a lengthy lightning delay, the game was called in the 84th minute due to travel restrictions.

Hofstra (0-1-1) had several early chances, outshooting Ohio State (1-1) in the beginning of the first half, including putting two shots on goal.

The Buckeyes broke the scoreless tie in the 65th minute, earning a penalty kick, which Jake Scheper converted past Alex Ashton.

Two defensive saves kept it a one-goal game, while senior goalkeeper Alex Ashton also made five saves.

The game entered a lightning delay with 6:44 remaining and never resumed.

Ashton’s 12 saves on the weekend earned him a spot on the all-tournament team along with sophomore Matthew Vowinkel, who scored in Friday’s draw with Dayton. The Flyers were the tournament champions after defeating Furman Sunday.

The Pride visits No. 25 Colgate Thursday at 5 p.m.
