Last Time Out: vs. Fairleigh Dickinson (October 14, 2018 | Lost, 6-2)

The Wagner College women's soccer team scored the first goal of the contest on Sunday afternoon, but the visiting Fairleigh Dickinson University Knights scored a trio of goals midway through the first half as the Seahawks dropped a 6-2 decision to the Knights on Sunday afternoon at Hameline Field.
Wagner continued to battle back in the contest and was rewarded in the 67th minute as junior goalkeeper Delaney Beck took her second free kick of the contest as this one was soaring toward the FDU, junior captain Maria Nunez was able to head the ball past a leaping Amanda Fitzgerald to cut the Knights lead to 4-2.
For Nunez, who was named to the Northeast Conference (NEC) Prime Performer List on Tuesday, it marked her team-leading fourth goal of the season.
