Hobson sparked the Wagner offense for much of the remainder of the third quarter, igniting a 9-2 run of her own over a 2:13 minute stretch as she connected on her first of three trifectas in the game.
In the fourth quarter,, the Seahawks forced a pair of Yale turnovers, leading to two straight fast break buckets.
Yale put the final touches on, outscoring Wagner, 12-9, in picking up its fourth victory of the season.
Wagner will close the first month of the season with a short trip to Jersey City, NJ as the Seahawks will square off against the Saint Peter's University Peacocks, of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). Tipoff is slated for 7:00 p.m. at the Yanitelli Center.
