They will face host Brown University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on September 7, before competing against St. Francis College Brooklyn and California Baptist University on September 8. This will be Wagner’s first match against MIT since a 15-10 win early in the 2017 season. The Green and White had a combined 2-2 record against the other three opponents last season, with wins over Brown and St. Francis Brooklyn.
Radmonovich, who doubles as the head coach of Wagner’s Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Champion women’s water polo team, then takes his squad to New Jersey to compete in the Princeton Invite at Princeton University on September 13-14. The Seahawks begin the weekend against Iona College and St. Francis Brooklyn on September 13 and will take on Brown on September 14.
