Staten Island, NY – The Wagner softball team will open its 2015 home schedule by hosting Manhattan College in a doubleheader today at 2:00 p.m.
 
When the 4-8 Seahawks and the 8-7 Jaspers meet, this will mark Wagner's first game in 12 days as the last eight contests have been canceled due to unplayable field conditions. In their last outing, on March 13, which took place at the Cherry Blossom Classic hosted by George Mason University, the Seahawks dropped a 5-1 decision to Akron in the second game of a doubleheader, having lost to Georgetown 2-1 earlier in the day.

Senior shortstop Kelsey Parker (Lynnwood, WA/ Lynnwood) is the Green & White's top hitter so far this season, batting .412, while also leading the team in hits (14), runs scored (8), and doubles (3).
