Staten Island, NY – On Saturday, March 3, the Wagner College women's lacrosse team will host the Lehigh University Mountain Hawks in a 12:00 p.m. start at Hameline Field.
The Green & White enter Saturday's contest, which was originally scheduled for 1:00 p.m., fresh off their first win of the season, a dominant 15-2 home victory over Patriot League foe Lafayette.
The 1-2 Seahawks are led in scoring by freshman midfielder
Erin Kerstetter who paces the team with nine points, all of which have come on goals. The South Jersey product signaled her collegiate arrival with a four-goal outburst in Wagner's season-opening 11-10 loss at Iona on February 14.
Kerstetter, whose five ground balls ties junior defender
Maddie Courtney for the team lead, then added two goals in a 15-10 home loss to Hofstra on February 20, before hitting for a hat trick during the
Seahawks' impressive win over Bucknell last time out.
Tied for second place in scoring for Wagner with six points each are senior midfielder
Lauren Ednie (6g, 0a), and freshman midfielder
Ally Alliegro (3g, 3a), the latter of whom is far and away the team leader in draw controls with 15.
In goal, seniors
Lucy Darlington and
Kelsey Fee have combined on 26 saves with a combined goals against average of .426.
Lehigh, which competes in the Patriot League, is 2-2 on the young season. One week after dropping a hard-fought 14-13 home contest vs. No. 12 Penn State, the Mountain Hawks earned a 13-12 home win at Columbia last Saturday. In its most recent contest, Lehigh dropped an 18-12 home decision to No. 14 Penn State on Tuesday.
