Lewisburg, PA – The Wagner College Water Polo team (2-2, 0-0 MAAC) earned their second victory of the year with a 10-5 win over the Mercyhurst College Lakers but fell 11-4 to University of Maryland on Sunday. Against the Lakers three Seahawks, sophomores Molly Robinson (Lansdale, PA/North Penn), Lauren French (Shillington, PA/North Penn), and Becca Hannings (Lansdale, PA/North Penn), accounted for two goals apiece in the College's largest win since April 18th, 2009 – a 16-5 win over Villanova University.

After falling into an early 2-1 deficit after the first period, the Seahawks rallied for three goals to make the score 4-4 at halftime. Wagner fought through the third frame, outscoring the Lakers 2-1 to hold a slim 6-5 lead. With the game in the balance, the Seahawks stepped up – outscoring the Lakers 4-0 in the final frame for the 10-5 win.
