The Hofstra University Pride compete as members of the Colonial Athletic Association in NCAA Division I FCS football and in NCAA Division I basketball. Hofstra is a private non-sectarian institution located on Long Island in the town of Hempstead, New York. The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 8,000. The school's athletic teams were long unofficially called the "Flying Dutchmen", but in 2005 the university officially adopted the Pride nickname, which had also been in use since the late 1980s when a pair of lions were adopted as the school's mascots.
