WAGNER SOFTBALL HOSTS FIRST ANNUAL ALUMNI DAY
April 23rd, 2016
On Saturday, April 23rd, Wagner Softball hosted its very first Alumni Day, an initiative instituted by first-year Head Coach Angie Churchill. 20 former Seahawks, with graduation years ranging from 1982 to 2014, were in attendance to watch the current team earn a double header sweep against Northeast Conference opponent Sacred Heart. All alumni received drink koozies and wristbands to show their Seahawk pride. After a great day at the field, the alumni made their way over to The Burrito Bar and Restaurant to catch up and share stories over drinks and appetizers. Thank you to everybody involved and responsible for making the day such a success! 1
SEAHAWKS BATTLE THROUGH BUSY MONTH With the majority of the season behind them, the Seahawks finish the month of April with a record of 19-24 overall and 4-8 in NEC play. The month was highlighted by doubleheader sweeps of Iona College and Sacred Heart University. In Game 1 against Iona, freshman outfielder Lauren Serrato went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs and 1 run scored. The Game 1 win against Sacred Heart was highlighted by freshman infielder Karen Prihoda, who went 3-for-3 with 1 RBI. In the Game 2 victory against Sacred Heart, the Seahawk offense was paced by freshman catcher Jess Carlucci, who went 2for-3 with a homerun, 2 RBIs, and 1 run scored. Serrato and sophomore first baseman Maddie Marable also homered in the match up. The Green and White have only 6 games left on their 2016 schedule, including a non-conference doubleheader at Drexel University on May 3rd, a doubleheader at Mount St. Mary’s University on May 7th, and a doubleheader at home vs. LIU Brooklyn on May 8th (Senior Day).
KAREN WINS FIRST ANNUAL MARCH MADNESS BRACKET CHALLENGE With Villanova’s win in the April 4th NCAA Chamionship Game, freshman Karen Prihoda won the Seahawks’ first annual March Madness Bracket Challenge. Having the most accurate bracket of all teammates and softball staff members, Prihoda earned herself bragging rights until the next NCAA Basketball Chamionship tips off. Congrats Karen!
