Bronx, NY - The Wagner College men's lacrosse team were defeated today at Gaelic Park, falling to Manhattan College 10-4. The Green & White now stand at 0-7 in the MAAC and 0-14 overall on the year.

The Jaspers jumped out to an initial 5-0 advantage after the first quarter of play until Seahawks' junior midfielder Josh Hamilton (Millersville, MD/Severna Park) ended the drought with an unassisted goal with 2:21 to play in the first half.

After the break, however, Manhattan quickly tacked two up on the board, making it a 7-1 Jasper advantage with 8:20 left to go in the third quarter.
