Numero Uno
Wednesday's victory over Columbia was the first in the head coaching career of Lisa Cermignano. The Seahawks' first-year head coach served as an assistant at Maryland, Monmouth, her alma mater George Washington, Vanderbilt, and Illinois before being hired as head coach at Wagner.

O Canada
The majority of the Seahawk offense in the team's first two games has been provided by the team's four natives of the province of Quebec. Senior Marie-Laurence Archambault (15.0 ppg), sophomore Stephanie Blais (13.0 ppg), senior Veronick Fournier (7.5 ppg), and junior Laura Amorosa (4.5 ppg) have provided 65% of Wagner's offense in the first two games, with Archambault and Blais leading the team in scoring.

Start Me Up
Two Seahawks made their third career starts in Wednesday's win over Columbia.
