Staten Island, NY – Last spring, Wagner Athletic Director/Head Football Coach Walt Hameline found himself in a position of looking to switch this season's game vs. Monmouth, originally scheduled for September 20, after his younger daughter Kelly settled on that same date for her wedding.

Hameline called Monmouth head coach Kevin Callahan, who is also a close friend, colleague, and former assistant coach of his, hoping for a solution. Thanks largely to Callahan's gracious help, the two institutions were able to successfully maneuver things on each other's end. Thus the Wagner-Monmouth game was shifted to September 13 (tomorrow), freeing up September 20 to be a bye week for the Seahawks, allowing Hameline to attend his daughter's wedding without having to miss a game.

Two major media outlets, the Associated Press, and USA Today, picked up on the story today.
