Loretto, PA – Following a near comeback win at defending Northeast Conference (NEC) champions, Robert Morris, the Wager women's basketball team closes out its Western Pennsylvania trip on Monday evening when the Seahawks face the Saint Francis U Red Flash at DeGol Arena.


Wagner All-Time vs. Saint Francis U Red Flash: 
  • Monday's tipoff at DeGol Arena is the 71st all-time matchup between the two schools, with Saint Francis U leading the head-to-head series, 48-22. 
  • The Seahawks are just 2-8 in their last ten matchups against SFU, and will be looking for their first win since February 13, 2017, when the Green & White earned an 87-71 victory in Loretto. 
  • Wagner will look to snap a four-game losing streak to the Red Flash while earning its first road win of the season. 


Last Time Out For Wagner: 
  • Down by 13 points at the end of the third quarter, the Wagner women's basketball team battled the defending Northeast Conference (NEC) champions, Robert Morris, to the wire after cutting the Colonials lead to a single possession, 47-45, with 1:21 left in regulation, but the comeback attempt was halted as the Seahawks were edged, 51-47, at the UPMC Events Center. 
  • Junior Khaleah Edwards was the lone Seahawk in double figures, as the London, England native tallied 11 points while grabbing five rebounds in 34 minutes of action. 
  • Sophomore forward Emilija Krista Grava netted eight points while freshman guard Alex Cowan added seven points and matched Edwards with a team-high five boards. Junior guard Alayshia Dailey, who made the two free-throws that brought Wagner to within a single possession of tying the game, finished with six points and four assists. 
  • The Colonials were paced by Irekpitan Ozzy-Momodu, who scored a game-high 13 points on a 4-for-6 performance from the floor and hitting on 5-of-7 from the free-throw line. She added eight rebounds and two blocks in her 20 minutes off-the-bench.  Isabella Posset came within a point of recording a double-double, ending the game with 10 points and nine caroms in 31 minutes of play.  
  • Nneka Ezeigbo, who came into today's contest as the newly-minted Player of the Week after averaging 15.4 ppg, was stifled and swarmed by the Seahawk defense all afternoon, finishing with just one point, which came on a 1-of-4 showing from the free-throw line. Ezeigbo hit her average on the boards, finishing with seven in just 19 minutes of action. 
 
A Win Over Saint Francis Would: 
  • snap a seven-game losing streak.
  • give Wagner its first conference win of the season (entering play at 0-3)
  • be Wagner's 23rd in the series against Saint Francis U (22-48 entering today's game).
  • snap a four-game losing streak to the Red Flash (Last Win: February 13, 2017 - 87-71 in Loretto).
  • be the 25th win at Wagner for Head Coach Heather Jacobs. 


Road Bump:
  • The Seahawks are in search of its first road win of the season, as they currently stand at 0-8 this season and dating back to last year, are winless in its last 10 road games. 
  • The last time the Seahawks won on the road came on February 23, 2019, at Fairleigh Dickinson, when the Green & White defeated the Knights, 60-44, in Teaneck, NJ. 
  • Freshman guard Alex Cowan and sophomore forward Emilija Krista Grava are the lone Seahawks scoring in double-figures away from the Spiro Sports Center, with Cowan leading the way at 13.4 ppg in seven games while Krista Grava has netted 10.9 ppg. 
  • The Green & White have scored 56.9 ppg in eight road games this year while shooting just 35.9 percent from the field and under 30.0 percent from beyond-the-arc. 
 
Monday Night Seahawks 
  • Monday's contest between Wagner and Saint Francis U is the first one for the Seahawks this season.
  • Last year, Wagner went 3-6 in Monday tilts
  • The Green & White averaged 67.9 points per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point land. 
  • In five Monday games, redshirt senior guard Janelle Mullen tallied 14.2 ppg while shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from three-point range in 31.6 minutes. 
  • Junior guard Alayshia Dailey, who started in eight of the nine Monday contests, nearly averaged double-figures in points (9.6 ppg) while pulling down 4.1 rebounds a game and also dishing out 3.3 helpers.
