Final Stats
Hamden, CT - Wagner freshman Janine Bright (Commack, NY / Commack) scored a career high four goals, but it was not enough as the Seahawks lost at Quinnipiac by a final of 9-5 this afternoon. The Northeast Conference loss puts Wagner at 1-4 in the league and 2-8 overall as the host Bobcats improved to 5-1 in the NEC and 7-4 for the season.
In a light scoring first half, Quinnipiac scored the first three goals of the game and went on top 3-0 following Katy Delagi's second goal of the day at the 7:20 mark. Wagner was held scoreless until the final three minutes of the period when Bright scored on a free position attempt that left the Seahawks trailing 3-1 at halftime.
Kelly Bruneau, who produced three goals in the game, quickly put the Bobcats back up by three when she took a Katie Latonick assist and scored less than 30 seconds into the second half. Bright answered right back for Wagner off an assist from freshman Krista Malayter (Cheshire, CT / Cheshire) 40 seconds later to once again close the deficit to a pair of goals.
