Poughkeepsie, NY – Five goals apiece from sophomore Lauren French (Shillington, PA/North Penn) and junior Laura Vanderbent (Shillington, PA/Governor Mifflin) lifted the Wagner College Water Polo team (13-17, 3-2 MAAC) over the Siena College Saints, 15-7, on Sunday. The Seahawks claimed their third Conference win of the season, with one MAAC opponent, St. Francis (NY), remaining on this weekend's schedule.

The offensive shoot out started with both teams scoring four times in the opening period. The Seahawks, however, were able to keep the momentum running in the second period – tacking on four more goals to take an 8-5 lead at halftime. Wagner's defense stiffened from there, allowing just two goals as the Seahawks rattled off seven second-half goals for the 15-7 win.

French and Vanderbent led the way with five goals apiece. Five goals scored in a game is a new career-high for Vanderbent and matches French's career-high set yesterday. Vanderbent maintained her lead in the team standings with 45 goals scored, while French moved into second place with 42 markers.

Sophomore Chelsea Beck (Reading, PA/Wilson) added three goals and an assist in the win. Sophomore Lauren Lovallo (Greenwich, CT/Greenwich) and freshman Katie Jordan (Westlake Village, CA/Agoura) each chipped in a goal and an assist each. Sophomore Molly Robinson (Lansdale, PA/North Penn) finished with one assist and sophomore Becca Hannings (Lansdale, PA/North Penn) added two helpers in the win.

The defense, led by senior goalie Kelsey Rodgers (Anaheim Hills, CA/Canyon/Fullerton JC), was clutch again for the Seahawks. Rodgers finished with 13 saves, which included penalty shot save late in game.

The Seahawks' next game is scheduled for 3:00 PM against St. Francis (NY).
