Staten Island, NY – The Wagner women's soccer team returns to action on Wednesday, August 26, as they travel to Jersey City, NJ to face Saint Peter's University at 3:00 pm.
 

Team Record: 0-2
 

Wagner will look for its first win of the season after opening the 2015 campaign at the University of Maine Tournament, held in Orono, ME last weekend. The Green & White dropped both weekend contests, a 2-0 setback against Fordham on Friday (Aug. 21) and a tough 2-1 defeat against Fairfield on Sunday (Aug. 23).  

Sophomore Jackie Otake (Portland, CT/Portland) recorded her first collegiate goal while scoring the Seahawks first marker of the season. Sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Flaherty (Southfield, MI/Wylie Groves) and junior goalkeeper Katelyn Murphy (Metuchen, NJ/Metuchen) each played a full 90 minutes with Murphy recording eight saves and Flaherty tallying seven, both are career-highs.

Saint Peter's opened its 2015 season with a 5-1 loss at NJIT on Friday, August 21. The lone Saint Peter's goal came from freshman Michelle Laz, in the 47th minute that evened the contest to 1-1.
