Down seven at the half, Mount St. Mary's whittled the lead to four at 33-29 with 16:18 to play in the game before Wagner ripped off seven-straight points, and 10-of-11 in extending the lead out to a game-high 13. After converting just 37.0 percent of their shots in the first half, the Seahawks drilled six of their first eight in assuming a 43-30 advantage with 14:14 to play.
