Game Notes
Fairfield, CT - The Wagner College Seahawks look to extend their winning streak to three games and improve to 3-1 in the Northeast Conference (NEC) and 3-3 overall when they travel to Fairfield, CT to meet Sacred Heart (1-1, 1-3 NEC).
In order to accomplish this feat, the Seahawks will have to do something they have not done since 1998 - beat Sacred Heart on the road. That year, Wagner posted a 40-8 win over the Pioneers at Campus Field. Since then, Sacred Heart has won the last six home games. Conversely, Wagner holds an identical 6-1 record vs. the Pioneers on Staten Island thus the all-time series is tied at 7-7.
