Staten Island, NY- Senior
Emily Riddle (Edmonton, Alberta / Dr. E.P. Scarlett) of the Wagner women's water polo team and senior
Danny Marsh (Monroe Township, NJ / Monroe Township) of the Seahawk baseball team have been named the Walsh Electric Student-Athletes of the month for March.
Senior goalie
Emily Riddle has been a force in the cage, leading the Green & White to a 11-3 record and a perfect 6-0 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) record throughout the month of March. Of these wins, five were over nationally-ranked programs, including a 5-4 victory over No. 12 San Jose State University on March 12. A major asset to the Seahawks' defense, Riddle has logged 153 saves on the season to propel her to third on the all-time saves list in Wagner women's water polo history, as she enters April with 904. The senior captain's best performance came on March 29 in a narrow 9-8 triumph over Iona College. The five-time MAAC Defensive Player of the Week registered a season-high 12 saves, while notching a key steal midway through the second quarter that led to a goal by fellow teammate
Jacqui Sjogren. In addition to her 153 saves, the senior captain has logged 31 steals, four assists, and a .507 saves percentage so far this season. Since the start of league play, Riddle leads the MAAC with 78 saves, while her 153 on the season puts her in second.
For the month of March, senior co-captain
Danny Marsh (Monroe Township, NJ/Monroe Township) was dominant, posting a 2-0 record with a minuscule 0.45 ERA in his three outings. After earning a no-decision against Towson back on March 5, in which he lasted five innings and struck out five, Marsh took the hill for the second game of Wagner's neutral site doubleheader in our Nation's Captial against Holy Cross. In the contest, the Monroe Township, NJ native went six innings, giving up two unearned runs while striking out three in the Seahawks 6-2 victory over the Crusaders. On Saturday night, March 25, under the bright lights of Coney Island at MCU Park, Marsh relished in the role of "stopper" in tossing a complete-game shutout in preventing a series sweep at the hands of Northeast Conference (NEC) rival, Fairleigh Dickinson. Marsh limited the Knights to just five hits (all singles) over nine scoreless frames in the 3-0 victory. The senior right-hander fanned a career-high nine batters and walked just three during the 118-pitch outing. He retired ten of the first 11 batters he faced, including four via strikeout. For this accomplishment, he was named NEC Pitcher of the Week for the first time in his career. As of March 27, Marsh ranks second in the entire NCAA in earned run average, sporting a 0.36 era while ranking among the top-15 in hits per nine innings and top-20 in WHIP at 0.80.
