FINAL STATS

Brooklyn, NY – Jasmin Robinson scored a game-high 13 points while Kim Snauwaert and Jessica Kaufman tallied seven points apiece as St. Francis (NY) opened the second half by breaking open a four-point game with a game-changing 11-0 run and went on to post a 48-34 Northeast Conference (NEC) victory over Wagner.
 
Robinson was the only player in the game to reach double figures in this defensive-minded affair. Wagner was led by senior center Kelly Clark (Neptune, NJ/ St. Rose), who tallied team highs in points (8) and rebounds (8). With 978 career points, Clark is now 22 points shy of becoming just the 22^nd player in Wagner women's basketball history to reach the 1,000-point mark.
 
Junior forward Marie-Laurence Archambault (Montreal, Quebec/ Montmorency) and freshman guard Shawn-Marie Heiliger (Charlotte, NC/ Charlotte Catholic) added five points apiece. Heiliger and sophomore forward Laura Amorosa (Kirkland, Quebec/ Phillips Academy) paced the Seahawks in assists with three apiece. For Amorosa, the three helpers tied her career high. Freshman point guard Jacqui Thompson (Southampton, PA/ St. Basil Academy), Wagner's assist leader at 3.6 per game, did not play due to a foot injury.
 
Following today's result, both teams are 2-16 overall on the season and 1-6 in NEC play. The Seahawks have now dropped 11 straight games.
 
Robinson's eight points paced the Terriers in the opening half as St. Francis (NY) took a 19-15 lead into intermission.
 
 After senior forward Brittney Thorpe (Newport News, VA/ Heritage) gave Wagner its lone lead of the game at 4-2 on a jumper at the 17:41 mark of the opening half, neither team could find the scoring column over the next 4:51 until Robinson knotted the game at 4-4 on a layup with 12:50 left.

The Robinson layup kick-started an 11-3 Lady Terrier run that was capped by a Kaufman jumper with 8:43 left in the half which gave St. Francis (NY) a six-point bulge at 13-7.
 
After Wagner ran off five straight points on a three-pointer by freshman forward Stephanie Blais (Sherbrooke, Quebec/ Montmorency) followed by a Clark layup that made it 13-12, the Lady Terriers went on a 7-0 run in seizing a 19-12 lead. Seahawk redshirt junior forward Chanez Robinson (Newark, NJ/ Shabazz) then converted an old-fashioned three-point play with 1:20 left to make it 19-15 at halftime.
 
After both teams went scoreless for the first 2:50 of the second half, Kaufman started the 11-0 run with a layup off a feed from Katie Fox. She would go on to score three more points during this decisive stretch, a run that was capped by a Sarah Benedetti layup off a Kaufman assist with 13:11 left which widened the margin to 30-15. Seahawk freshman center he Ugo Nwaigwe (Valley Stream, NY/ Valley Stream) stopped the Terrier run with a layup after receiving a feed from Amorosa at the 12:12 mark.
 
St. Francis (NY) would eventually build its biggest lead of the game of 19 at 43-24 with 4:56 remaining in the contest.
 
The Lady Terriers out-shot Wagner 36 percent to 28 percent and out-rebounded the Seahawks 35-31. The 34 points scored by Wagner tied a season low, as the Seahawks dropped a 54-34 decision at St. John's on November 22.
