HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) Tyler Seibring scored 22 points and all the Elon starters reached double figures in an 89-76 victory over Hofstra on Sunday, overcoming a career-high 39 points by Justin Wright-Foreman.

Seibring and Dmitri Thompson, who finished with 18 points, reached the 1,000 career mark. Brian Dawkins also scored 18 with eight rebounds and Dainan Swoope and Steven Santa Ana added 10 points each. The Phoenix (11-6, 3-1 Colonial Athletic Association) shot 51 percent and made 13 of 27 from the arc.
