The Pride used an 11-2 run in the second half to cut Wright State's lead to 42-41 on a 3-pointer by David Imes. But Darling, who went 8 of 11 from the floor, scored five points during a 7-1 run to help Hofstra claim a seven-point advantage.
A 3-pointer by Hofstra's Taran Buie trimmed the lead to 60-57 with 36 seconds to play. But two free throws by Miles Dixon and one from Arceneaux sealed the win for the Raiders.
