Junior Sami Kozlowski (12.3 ppg, 5.0 rpg) and classmate Kendra Brim (12.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg) round out the double-digit scorers. Sophomore Tricia Oakes has been a dependable force off the bench, averaging 9.3 ppg on 64.7 percent (11-17) shooting while pulling down a team-best 6.7 rpg.

Last Year vs. Colgate - Senior John'a Poole's bank shot from 10 feet out with 1.2 seconds remaining off a nifty feed from classmate Andrea Reed lifted Wagner to a dramatic 58-56 overtime win over Colgate at the Spiro Sports Center.
