Peck, Nwajei Pace Seahawks
The Seahawks are paced by sophomore guard Jordyn Peck, a left-handed sharp-shooter who is averaging a team-best 17.7 points per game through Wagner's first three games of the season. The 5-6 Peck tossed in a career-high 24 points last time out at Iona on Wednesday. Peck scored 18 of her 24 ponts during a torrid second half which included her running off 11 consecutive Seahawk points during an 11-3 early second-half-run. Pecvk was 7-of-15 shooting on the night, including 5-of-7 marksmanship from three-point range with her five treys tying her career high.  The previous time out, at Monmouth on Nov. 14, Peck tallied 21 points. For the season, she is .474 (9-19) from three-point range and .842 (16-19) from the free throw line. Peck's running mate in the Seahawk backcourt, freshman point guard Jasmine Nwajei, is off to an impressive start to her collegiate career. She started the 2013-14 season off with a bang, scoring the first five points of the game in the Nov. 10 season opener vs. No. 7 Kentucky, en route to a team-high 19-point outing. The 5-8 Nwajei then raised the bar on her career high with a 20-point outburst in Wagner's 70-57 come-from-behind win at former NEC rival Monmouth on Nov. 14. Through three games, Nwajei is averaging 16.3 points per game.
