Staten Island, NY – The Wagner women's soccer team will host its annual breast cancer awareness game tomorrow night when the Seahawks take on LIU Brooklyn in a 7:00 p.m. Northeast Conference (NEC) matchup at Hameline Field.

Scouting the Seahawks
 
Wagner (1-9-1, 0-1-0 NEC) is coming off of a tough conference opening loss on the road to Bryant. The Seahawks struck first as junior midfielder Megan Fritz (Cape Coral, FL/Mariner) laced her fourth goal of the season off of an assist by junior forward Diana Saber (Syosett, NY/Syosett). Saber dribbled the ball up the left side, put a pass in the box to Fritz who netted one high over Bryant goalkeeper Kaylan Conrad's head to take 1-0 lead just two minutes into the contest.
 
Despite the two goals by Bryant and taking the loss, Wagner created multiple opportunities and controlled much of the game, while outshooting the Bulldogs 21-9 in 90 minutes.
 
Fritz leads the Seahawks with nine points, four goals and one assist on the season. Freshman defender Peyton Beck (St. Louis, MO/Webster Groves) follows Fritz with four points and two goals in her first collegiate season.
 
Scouting LIU Brooklyn
 
LIU Brooklyn (3-9-0, 0-2-0 NEC) arrives to Grymes Hill looking for a win after dropping its first two NEC matchup's to Saint Francis U. and Central Connecticut. Last Friday, the Blackbirds were defeated by the Red Flash 2-1 in overtime. LIU Brooklyn took the lead in the 18th minute off of a header by junior Madison Gomez from a free kick by senior Lucy Gunton-Jones. The Red Flash responded in the 35th minute to tie it up and then took the game winner in the 96th minute off of a rebound in the box.
 
On Sunday, LIU Brooklyn was able to put up one goal from redshirt sophomore Allegra Ondrejka, her fourth marker of the season, assisted by Gunton-Jones before the Blue Devils rolled past the Blackbirds 5-1.
