West Point, NY – Madison Hovren recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds and Janae McNeal added 12 points and six assists in leading defending Patriot League champion Army West Point to its sixth consecutive win, an 85-40 decision over short-handed Wagner tonight.

For the third straight game, the Seahawks only had six players available and this lack of depth played a key role as Wagner had difficulty handling the Cadets' smothering, full-court press, which caused 25 turnovers on the evening, leading to a 22-7 edge in points off turnovers.

Wagner was rushed into 12 first-quarter turnovers as Army built a 24-9 lead after the first session. The Cadets, who are now 4-0 vs. Northeast Conference (NEC) teams, having previously defeated LIU Brooklyn (68-47), Fairleigh Dickinson (85-58) and St. Francis Brooklyn (69-46), improve their season record to 7-1 while the Seahawks are now 1-7.

Sophomore guard Julia McClure (Secaucus, NJ / Secaucus) recorded the first double-double of her young career, leading Wagner with 14 points and 10 rebounds, both team highs, while freshman forward Kerstie Phills (Charlotte, NC / Charlotte Christian) added 11 points, seven rebounds and two steals. McClure's 14-point effort came on 6-fo-10 shooting while Phills was 5-for-11 from the floor.

Army, which went 29-3 a year ago in reaching the NCAA Tournament, held a 38-22 advantage in points in the paint, led in second-chance points by a 21-6 count in addition to holding a sizable 36-3 edge in bench scoring. The Cadets, who are coached by former longtime Marist College head men's basketball coach, Dave Magarity, used 15 players on the night, 13 of whom found the scoring column, while all six Seahawks scored.

The Seahawks are now 3-6 all-time on the hardwood vs. Army and 28-31 vs. current Patriot League teams.

Wagner is next in action on Saturday, December 10 when the Seahawks play host to the University at Albany Great Danes of the America East Conference. Tip-off at the Spiro Sports Center is set for 1:00 p.m.
