The Pride dropped an 81-80 overtime decision to Drexel on Thursday to fall to 10-12 overall and 2-7 in Colonial Athletic Association play. It was another incredible game from sophomore Justin Wright-Foreman as he poured in 30 points for the second consecutive game and the third time this season. 

Since 2010, only Charles Jenkins had more 30-point games in a single season as he had four in 2010-11. Wright-Foreman is tied with Mike Moore (2011-12) and Zeke Upshaw (2013-14).  

Elon brings a 13-9 overall mark and a 5-4 CAA record into Saturday's tilt following a 51-49 victory over Northeastern on Thursday. The Phoenix, which has won three straight games, got 15 points and eight rebounds from Tyler Seibring on Thursday at Northeastern. 

Saturday's game will pit this week's two CAA Players of the Week as Wright-Foreman and Seibring shared the award on Monday. 

Hofstra leads the all-time series with Elon, 5-1. The Phoenix won this season's first meeting, 96-80, down in North Carolina on January 12. The first-ever meeting in the series was during the 2009-10 NIT Season Tip-Off with Hofstra winning by the score of 70-46. The other five meetings have all occurred since Elon and Hofstra became CAA rivals.
