How good of a start is Hofstra’s offense off to?

Well, it connected on 40 percent of its shots in Tuesday’s 18-6 rout of Wagner — and its season shooting percentage went down.

The Pride (3-1) is fifth in the country in scoring (17.25 goals per game) and third in shooting percentage (.418), superb early returns for a veteran-laden attack unit that is both new and plenty familiar.

Ryan Tierney, whose name was already scattered throughout Hofstra’s record book, returned for a fifth season. Joining him are a pair of transfers he was plenty familiar with growing up in Nassau County: Alex Concannon and Justin Lynskey. Together, they’ve scored 47 goals and added 18 assists in the Pride’s first four games.

“They have experienced things, although all of them in different uniforms,” Hofstra coach Seth Tierney said. “They’ve also experienced things together. All three of them were friends growing up, and so there is some chemistry there.”

Ryan Tierney is the holdover who had 21 goals and 14 assists in seven games a season ago and set both the Hofstra career goals (144) and the Colonial Athletic Association career points (216) records Tuesday. Lynskey, his teammate in club ball and at nearby Massapequa High School, made 32 starts over four years at Holy Cross and was seeking a graduate school program in finance to pursue during his fifth season.

Meanwhile, Concannon played in 48 games over five seasons at Johns Hopkins but suffered season-ending injuries as both a freshman in 2016 and a redshirt-senior last spring. So, the former Syosset High School star chose to use his extra year of eligibility close to home.

“Knowing who Justin is, his family, all the years that him and Ryan played together at Massapequa, we thought that he would be a good fit at either the attack or the midfield,” Seth Tierney said. “And when coach [Dave Pietramala] left Hopkins and Alex’s academic career similarly was going to end, there was a program for him here. He had some unfinished business to walk off the field under his own power and his own terms, and Hofstra made the most sense for him. We’re awfully thankful for both of them.”

Concannon is putting pressure on defenses behind the goal and has scored 15 times, already just three shy of his career high. Lynskey recorded four points in each of Hofstra’s first four games as a steady attack option. And Tierney already has 23 goals and seven assists, including two 11-point outings. This is all happening without veteran attackman Dylan McIntosh, who the Pride is optimistic will return to play soon.

That means there’s probably more tinkering to come from assistants Tim McIntee and Michael Gongas, who help run Hofstra’s offense.

“Those guys have literally Batman-and-Robined this thing together,” Seth Tierney said. “Timmy Mac is the Batman and puts it all together, and Michael Gongas is the Robin where he is taking and breaking it down into parts and making the parts better so when the parts come together, the whole looks better.”
