Pittsburgh, PA -
Wagner returns to action tonight at No. 16 Pittsburgh for arguably the toughest game of the season for any NEC squad. The Panthers enter with a 7-1 record - having won seven-straight since a season-opening loss to No. 4 Texas A&M.

With A Win ...
Wagner would pick up its first win over a Nationally Ranked team since its 80-75 overtime win over Middle Tennessee State on December 29, 1988.

Scouting Pitt - Pitt is led by All-American candidate Shavonte Zellous, who is averaging 20.0 points per game and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting 40.8 percent from three-point land. On offense the Panthers are averaging 79.8 ppg, on 46.7 percent shooting while the defense is holding teams to 50.9 ppg, on 31.9 percent shooting.

The Series - The two teams met for the first time last year with Pittsburgh prevailing 85-41. Sophomore Stephanie McBride scored a career-high 12 points, fueled by three triples to lead the way for the Green & White. Zellous scored 20 points to pace the Panthers while Taneisha Harrison contributed 23 points off the bench, on 9-12 shooting.
