Loretto, PA– The 6-4 Wagner women's lacrosse team will look to extend its winning streak to three games and move to 2-0 in Northeast Conference (NEC) play when the Seahawks conclude their two-game Western Pennsylvania swing at Saint Francis U On Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

Wagner opened NEC play on Friday with a 12-9 victory at Robert Morris while the Red Flash enter Sunday's play with a 4-7 overall mark and an 0-1 record in league after falling at Mount St. Mary's by a 10-3 count of Friday.

Senior midfielder Lauren Ednie, the reigning NEC Player of the Week, followed her five-goal, one assist outing in the 14-10 win over Columbia (3/28) with a three-goal, one-assist effort in Friday's win at RMU. Junior attack Marjorie Dehm also supplied a hat trick for the Seahawks vs. the Colonials.

Ednie is now the team-leader in points with 28, which have come on a team-best 26 goals and two assists.

In the victory over Robert Morris, senior attack Heidi Colford and junior attack Anna Belle Reilly matched Dehm's three-point game by totaling two goals and one assist apiece. Finishing with one goal each for the Seahawks were senior midfielder April Simmons and sophomore attack Stephanie Falcone.

As a team, the Seahawks entered this week's play ranked rank No. 6 nationally, and No. 1 in the NEC with 11.89 caused turnovers per game. Wagner also began the week No. 6 in the nation with 23.67 ground balls per game, a figure that ranks No.3 in the NEC.
