Deland, FL – The Wagner softball team completed the Hatter Classic dropping a 5-2 decision to Fairfield University on Sunday afternoon.
 
With the loss, the Seahawks fall to 5-5 overall and finish the tournament 3-2, picking up two of the wins against Bethune-Cookman University and one over Stetson University.
 
Junior Brianna Tredway (Downingtown, PA/Downingtown West) and freshman catcher Jessica Carlucci (Manalapan, NJ/Saint John Vianney) were both named to the Hatter Classic All-Tournament team. Tredway went 4-for-5 with a double, three runs scored and two RBI in the leadoff spot in the Seahawks 8-7 victory over Bethune-Cookman. She finished the weekend with five runs scored, three RBIs and two doubles on nine hits. Carlucci finished the five-game series going 7-for-16 overall at the plate with two doubles and six RBIs.
 
Wagner started out the game defensively strong, turning a double play to hold off the Stags in the top of first inning.
 
In the bottom of the first inning, freshman second baseman Karen Prihoda (Hamilton Square, NJ/The Lawrenceville School) singled down the right field line. The next batter, junior leftfielder Hana Gilbert (Valley Center, CA/Valley Center) singled to right field to advance Prihoda to third base. A throwing error by the Stag's catcher Kate Robinson, to try to throw down Gilbert who was attempting to steal second base, scored Prihoda and gave Wagner a 1-0 lead.
 
Fairfield responded in the top of the second inning, putting up five runs against the Wagner defense.
 
Freshman shortstop Erica Krumbine (Freehold, NJ/Saint John Vianney) ripped a single to center field in the bottom of the second inning and advanced to second base off of a SAC bunt by freshman right fielder Lauren Serrato (Litchfield Park, AZ/Verrado). Tredway had the RBI single to center field to score Krumbine to cut the deficit to 5-2.
 
Both teams stayed solid throughout the remainder of the contest, as neither defense let up a run, resulting in the Stag's 5-2 victory in the final contest of the Hatter Classic.
 
Tredway and Carlucci each had doubles while Gilbert and sophomore first baseman Maddie Marable (Reno, NV/ Earl Wooster) were credited with one stolen base each.
 
Six Seahawks contributed to Wagner's eight total hits. Krumbine was 2-for-3 while Tredway was 2-for-4.
 
Prihoda, Gilbert, Carlucci and Marable registered the rest of the hits with one a piece.
 
Junior McKaleigh Goodale (Bradenton, FL/Lakewood Ranch) took the loss and falls to 3-2 on the season giving up five runs on eight hits. Sophomore Morgan Brown (Buckeye, AZ/Verrado) came in for relief, striking out five batters while only allowing three hits.
