Anja Suttner scored on a penalty kick in the 19th minute and Skylar Kuzmich made five saves as the Hofstra University women remained undefeated with a 1-0 victory at Fordham University Thursday night.

The Pride (3-0-1), which is undefeated after four games for the sixth time in its history, recorded its second consecutive win.

Leah Iglesias drew the penalty after getting shoved in the back by a defender. Suttner slid her penalty into the lower right corner for her second goal of the season.

Kuzmich made the goal stand up as she stopped all five Fordham shots on target, including two in the final six minutes. The senior goalkeeper had three saves in the final 45 minutes.

Kyla King had four saves in goal for the Rams (1-3).

Hofstra will return to action Sunday with a 3 p.m. game at Brown University.
