Not only does shepossess outstanding physical play by competing on the boardsand producing in the paint, she also has an excellent touchoutside, catches in traffic and has soft hands and quick feet forher size.

Defense is really her strongest suit, buther long frame and quick step is impressive. Candace is anamazing perimeter threat with the ability to elevate and deliverin traffic. She plays long and finishes around the rim. She willbring another level of talent to the program and be an impactplayer for us.”Watson will join the Pride following her senior season atBishop Moore Catholic High School. The 5-7 guard is comingoff a stellar junior season in which she averaged 14.7 pointsper game along with four rebounds and 4.8 assists.

It will be like having a coach on thefloor. She is my type of player; someone who is hardnosed,mentally tough and quick. Her teammates will feed off of hercompetitive nature. Coming from a highly successful highschool program, I know she will be a great fit here at Hofstra.”

AgainstBuffalo on December 6, Connelly grabbed an offensiverebound and scored as time expired to send that game intoovertime, where the Pride would eventually prevail. Thatwould just be an appetizer for Connelly, as the heraldedfreshman didn’t send the Towson game on January 15 toovertime, rather she won it with a last second shot against theTigers. Connelly had a double-double against the Bulls andscored a team-high 16 points against the Tigers.

It’s All Over: Due to injury, Hofstra’s iron women, senior guardNiki Williams saw her streak of 51 straight starts and 95consecutive games played come to an end in the Pride’sseason opener at Iona on November 14.
