On The Road Again
Wagner wraps up the 2012 Patriot League/NEC Challenge on Sunday when the Seahawks travel to Lehigh's campus in Bethlehem, PA, to take on Lafayette in a neutral-site contest. While the game is technically being played on a neutral court, Stabler Arena is merely 13 miles from Lafayette's campus, as opposed to the 83-mile trip for the Seahawks.

Following her career-best 20-point performance against Lehigh on Friday, sophomore Stephanie Blais leads the Seahawks with 12.8 ppg. Senior Veronick Fournier is averaging a team-leading 5.5 rpg, with sophomore Jacqui Thompson dishing out a team-best 4.5 apg.

Scouting The Leopards
Lafayette enters Sunday's game on a four-game losing streak, and is 1-4 on the season following an 11-point win over Loyola Chicago (Nov. 9). The Leopards were then defeated by consecutive Big East opponents - Seton Hall (Nov. 11) and Villanova (Nov. 14) - before falling to then-No. 9 Penn State (Nov. 18) and Monmouth (Nov. 23).

Sophomore Emily Homan is the Leopards' leading scorer at 11.7 ppg. 6-7 junior Danielle Fiacco has pulled down a team-leading 9.6 rpg for Lafayette. Fiacco has also recorded 4.2 blocks per game so far on the year. As a team, the Leopards are shooting 29.4% from the fl oor this season, and averaging 45.4 points per game.

All-Time vs. Lafayette
Sunday's meeting is the eighth between the Seahawks and Leopards, with Wagner holding a 4-3 edge in the all-time series. The previous meeting was a year ago to the day, with Lafayette emerging victorious on their home court, 66-55.
