Brookville, NY – The Wagner College women's field hockey team dropped a tightly contested 2-1 Northeast Conference (NEC) decision at the LIU Sharks on Friday afternoon.
The Sharks (4-5; 1-0 NEC) got on the board five minutes into the opening quarter as Taylor Brodsky was able to tap in the feed from Alexis Ruiz as LIU took the early lead.
The Seahawks (1-7; 0-2 NEC) had several chances in the opening frame, as they were awarded five penalty corners but couldn't find the tying-score after the first quarter.
Both teams were held without a shot in the second quarter as the Sharks entered the break ahead by one.
Two minutes into the third quarter, the Sharks added its second score of the match as Kaitlyn Olton was scored off the pass from Jonna Klein-Holte.
