The Green and White earned a wire-to-wire victory in taking a 2-0 lead on three hits in the second inning of the contest.

After Carlucci worked a walk, freshman Ashley Lubisky (Jenkintown, PA / Springside Chestnut Hill Academy) took over as the pinch runner and advanced on a wild pitch, before scoring on an Alyssa Tucker (Laguna Niguel, CA / Santa Margarita Catholic) single. Two batters later, sophomore Karen Prihoda (Hamilton Square, NJ / The Lawrenceville School) doubled to left center, allowing freshman Kat Holmes-Stall (Trabuco Canyon, CA / Santa Margarita Catholic) to score all the way from first base.

Utah Valley scored in the bottom half of the second inning and had multiple chances to tie the score. In the fourth, the Wolverines managed three base hits, but junior Morgan Brown (Buckeye, AZ / Verrado) in the circle was able to get the opposition to ground into a double play as well as a groundout, with two runners in scoring position, to end the threat.

After two walks to begin the fifth inning, Carlucci then delivered the biggest hit of the game, a three-run shot to left field with one out to give Wagner a 5-1 lead.
The Wolverines doubled their run total in the fifth inning, but it wasn't enough, as Brown earned the complete-game victory in the circle as the Green and White moves to 2-11 on the season.

Wagner combined for 11 hits in game two, as Tredway, Prihoda, and freshman Amelia van Orman (Orange, CA / Lutheran High School of Orange County) each had multi-hit games.

After the Wolverines opened the scoring in the first, the Seahawks tied the game in the fourth inning.

Senior Brianna Tredway (Downingtown, PA / Downingtown West), the only Wagner player to record multiple base hits in game one, opened the frame with a single to center field and was bunted into scoring position by junior Stefanie Aplin (Nesconset, NY / Smithtown East / Georgian Court University). Freshman Kaila Smith (Millville, NJ / Millville) then singled to left, allowing Tredway to come around to score.

The visitors regained the lead in the fourth on a home run and ended the game with seven runs in the fifth inning to secure the victory.

Senior McKaleigh Goodale (Bradenton, FL / Lakewood Ranch) suffered the loss in the circle after pitching 4.2 innings, striking out two.
The Seahawks will be back in action tomorrow, as they travel to West Coast Conference members BYU for a doubleheader starting at 4:00 p.m. ET.
