After leading for much of the first quarter, North Carolina A&T went through a cold spell, committing three turnovers in the final 1:37 of the period.
Entering the second quarter down 13-12, the Aggies dug themselves a deeper hole, surrendering a 9-3 run and going into halftime down 24-18.
The second half was a completely different story for A&T as they outscored Hofstra 37-16, leading by as many as 18 points on their way to victory.
North Carolina A&T will face Stony Brook with a chance to advance to their first-ever CAA tournament championship game.
