Rachel Hall, the goalie who transferred from Oregon, made 11 saves. North and Sheila Rietano each corralled eight draws for Boston College, which improved to 4-3.
A 13-5 lead gave Boston College breathing room at halftime, but Hofstra (4-3) opened the second half with consecutive scores to cut the deficit to 13-7. The Pride later came within five goals at 15-10, but Boston College ended on a 5-0 run.
