But the Seahawks stumbled from there – being outscored 11-3 in the second half as Harvard came from behind to win 14-9.

Wagner's leading goal scorer, sophomore Chelsea Beck (Reading, PA/Wilson), led the Seahawks' offense with a goal against Brown and two scores against Harvard. Headed into Sunday's action, Beck currently leads the team with 13 goals.

Two Seahawks totaled two goals on the day, including junior Laura Vanderbent (Shillington, PA/Governor Mifflin) who passed her 2009 total with a goal in each game, and freshman Monique Martinet (Mission Viejo, CA/Mission Viejo), who had her first multi-goal game of her career against Harvard. Juniors Carina Giles (Mohton, PA/Governor Mifflin) and Natalie Pyrz (Harleysville, PA/Souderton Area) each added a goal against Harvard.
