Staten Island, NY – The Wagner women's lacrosse team, guided by third-year head coach Katie Rowan, will host Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)-member Hofstra in its 2018 home opener on Tuesday, February 20 with opening draw at Hameline Field set for 3:00 p.m.

The Seahawks opened the season with a hard-fought 11-10 loss at Iona on February 14 as the Gaels sank the game-winning goal in the last minute of play in a contest that proved to be a coming out party for freshman midfielder Erin Kerstetter, who poured in four goals in her collegiate debut.

Junior attack Marjorie Dehm added three scores on the day while sophomore attack Stephanie Falcone recorded two points, with one goal and one assist. Finishing with one goal apiece vs. the Gaels were sophomore midfielder Meghan Pendergast, a transfer from George Mason who was seeing her first action as a Seahawk, as well as senior midfielder and 2017 All-NEC Second-Team selection, Lauren Ednie. Junior attack and co-captain Anna Belle Reilly another All-NEC Second-Team choice a year ago, added one assist for the visitors.

In goal, Wagner's other co-captain, senior Lucy Darlington, came up with seven saves. Freshman midfielder Ally Alliegro paced the Seahawks in draw controls with six, while Ednie added five. Ednie also tied Kerstetter for team-high honors with three ground balls.

Hofstra, which opened its season with a 13-1 victory over Bucknell on February 17, earned a 14-10 home win over Wagner in last season's meeting in Hempstead, NY on February 21, 2017.

Following Tuesday's matchup with Hofstra, the Seahawks will now play host to a pair of teams that hail from Pennsylvania, in Bucknell on February 24 and Lehigh on March 3. Wagner will conclude the four-game home stretch when Stetson makes the long trip from DeLand, FL on March 7.
