O'Shea Helps Hawks Soar Past the Seahawks

Junior midfielder Colin O'Rourke (Worcester, MA/ St. John's Shrewsbury) scored two goals for Wagner while junior midfielder Nick DePhillips (Glen Ridge, NJ/ Glen Ridge) and freshman attacker David DeCirce (Clarence, NY/ Clarence) tallied one goal apiece. Senior attacker Mike Hurley (Billerica, MA/ Billerica) dished out two assists for the Seahawks while sophomore attacker Sam Morrissey (Long Valley, NJ/ West Morris Central) added one assist.

This was a competitive contest after one quarter as the Hawks led by just a 3-1 after the game's first 15 minutes. But Hartford found its groove in the second quarter, out-scoring the Seahawks 10-0 in building a 13-1 halftime lead and the Hawks never looked back.

Hartford out-shot Wagner 53-27, led in ground balls 39-20 and won 17 of 29 faceoffs. A bright spot for Wagner was the play of senior midfielder John Andrejack (Jamesport, NY/ Riverhead) who won 8 of 9 faceoffs.

With the loss, Wagner saw its record fall to 0-8 on the season while the Hawks improved to 3-6.

The Seahawks are next in action on Saturday, March 31 when they open their Northeast Conference schedule vs. Robert Morris in a 1:00 pm tilt in a Wagner College Stadium.
