Staten Island, NY - Sophomore Trevor Pelletier (Miami, FL / Gulliver Prep) scored a pair of goals but it was not enough as Manhattan dropped an 11-5 decision to Wagner in non-conference action at Hameline Field.

After the Seahawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead, the Jaspers responded with three of the next five scores in trimming the deficit to 4-3 with 6:53 remaining in the half.

Freshman Austin Collard (Wakefield, MA / Wakefield Memorial) opened the scoring for Manhattan before sophomore CJ Scharf (West Islip, NY / West Islip) and classmate Luke Hanson (Middletown, NY / Minisink Valley) each found the back of the net.

Unfortunately, Wagner would respond with a game-changing 6-0 spurt before Pelletier scored back-to-back goals off passes from junior Parker Giarratana (Delray, FL / Boca Raton Community).

Freshman Sean MacKinney (Martinsville, NJ / Bridgewater-Raritan) led both teams with six ground balls while junior Joseph Bressingham (Glen Cove, NY / Nassau CC) had five to go along with eight faceoff wins.
