Staten Island, NY –
The Wagner men's lacrosse team, under the direction of first-year head coach Bill McCutcheon, will conclude the 2019 season on Saturday, April 27 in a high noon faceoff vs. the Sacred Heart Pioneers on Senior Day at Hameline Field.
 
Prior to the game, the Seahawks will honor their 14 graduating seniors in a pre-game ceremony.
 
Wagner enters Saturday's play with a 2-11 record and a 0-5 mark in the Northeast Conference (NEC) while the Pioneers are 8-5 overall and 3-2 in league play.
 
The Seahawks dropped a 14-6 decision at Saint Joseph's last Saturday despite a standout performance from sophomore defenseman Kyle Stofko, an effort that earned him #NECPrimePerformer accolades.
 
Against the Hawks, Stofko tallied Wagner's final goal of the game early in the fourth quarter, drawing the Seahawks within 10-6. The score came on a brilliant individual effort as the Churchville, MD native forced a turnover and collected the ground ball, before sprinting ahead of the field for his first career goal. In addition to his first career score, Stofko registered a career-tying and game-high five caused turnovers, in addition to threw ground balls, which gives him a team-best 30 caused turnovers.

Junior attackman Dominic Branda checks in third on the team with 22 points (17g, 5a), while senior attackman and tri-captain John Norton is fourth in scoring with 19 points (12g, 7a).
 
Junior midfielder Nick Warren has won 131-of-187 faceoffs (.456) and has a team-leading 58 ground balls, with senior defenseman Riley Owens second with 38 GBs. Defensively, in addition to Stofko's 30 CTs and 28 GBs, senior tri-captain Kevin Doherty (9gb, 16ct) and senior Connor Davis (15gb, 7ct) have been stalwarts all season.

In goal, senior Matt Sefcik checks in with a .540 save percentage and an 11.56 goals against average. Additionally, Sefcik, who has played all 57 games in his Seahawk career with 56 starts, ranks No. 2 among all active NCAA D-I goalie (and No. 2 all-time at Wagner), with 674 career saves.
