Wagner scored six goals in the fourth quarter to break open a 3-3 tie on its way to a 9-6 victory over Siena in the MAAC Tournament Consolation game Sunday in Poughkeepsie. Camille Norman scored three goals in a losing effort for the Saints, becoming the school's all-time single-season leading goal scorer in the process.

The two teams staged a competitive back-and-forth game throughout the first three quarters with both defenses dominating. But the Wagner offense got on track in the fourth.

The score was tied at 2-2 after one quarter, and Wagner held a slim 3-2 lead at the half. Norman's first goal of the game tied the score at 3-3 with 4:53 remaining in the third quarter and that's where it remained until the Seahawks went on the rampage, scoring on their first five shots in the fourth quarter to break the game open.

Wagner stretched the lead to 9-4 when Lauren French found the back of the net for the third time in the quarter with 3:06 remaining. Norman scored twice in the fourth for Siena, briefly halting the onslaught with an early goal that made the score 5-4, and then breaking the record with 1:04 remaining.

Jackie Crosby scored two goals for the second straight day for the Saints. Her final tally was the last score of the game.

French led Wagner with three goals. Natalie Pyrz, Laura Vanderbent and Dana DeCinque scored two goals each.

Siena ends the season 12-23 after qualifying for the MAAC Tournament for just the second time in program history. Upstart Wagner finished the year 17-20.
