New Haven, CT – The Wagner College women's basketball team wraps up its non-conference season on New Year's Eve with a 4:00 p.m. tip-off against Ivy League member, Yale. Tuesday's contest will be streamed on ESPN+.

Wagner All-Time vs. Yale:

Wagner and Yale will be meeting for just the seventh time in program history with the Bulldogs leading the head-to-head series, 6-0.

Wagner All-Time Against The Ivy League:

All-time against the members of the Ivy League, Wagner sports a 23-31 overall record.
The Seahawks boast a 16-8 all-time mark against Columbia.
The Green & White have yet to pick up victories against Brown (0-1), Harvard (0-2), University of Pennsylvania (0-2) and Yale (0-6).
Wagner is looking to stop an eight-game losing streak to Ivy League members, last earning a 97-86 home triumph over Columbia back on December 30, 2014.

Last Time Out For Wagner:

Junior Khaleah Edwards poured in a game-best 21 points while sophomore forward Emilija Krista Grava notched her second double-double of the year but it wasn't enough as Colgate defeated the Seahawks, 74-58, on Sunday, December 22, at Cotterell Court.
Edwards converted on 8-of-15 shooting from the field while hitting on 5-of-10 from three-point range in 36 minutes of action. It marked the seventh straight contest in which the London, England native reached double-figures; she also dished out four assists.
Krista Grava notched her third career double-double, pouring in 17 points and pulling down a game-high 12 rebounds in 34 minutes of action. The senior duo of Jordan Hobson and Janelle Mullen combined for 17 points with Mullen netting nine points in just her second game of the 2019-20 season.
Colgate was paced by Rachel Thompson and Teagan Graham, who both finished in double digits. Thompson hit for a team-high 15 points while grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out six helpers. Graham netted 13 points as the two Raiders combined to go 12-of-20 from the field.
Ava Williams came within a point of recording a double-double for Colgate, as she ended the contest with nine points and grabbed ten caroms in the victory.

A Win Over Yale Would:

snap a three-game losing streak for the Green and White.
be the program's first-ever win against Yale (0-6).
end an eight-game losing streak to Ivy League members
be Head Coach Heather Jacobs' first victory against an Ivy League opponent (0-5).

The Bulldogs have three players averaging double-figures, led by Roxy Barahman, who's pouring in 16.0 ppg while leading the team in assists (3.5 apg) and minutes played (30.8).
