Smithfield, RI  –  The Wagner women's basketball team will look for the weekend split as the Seahawks square off against the Bryant University Bulldogs on Monday evening at the Chace Athletic Cetner.


Wagner All-Time vs. Bryant: 
  • The Seahawks trail in the head-to-head series, 17-2
  • Wagner, all-time in Smithfield, is just 2-8. 


Last Time Out For Wagner: 
  • With just 22 seconds remaining in regulation, Wagner sophomore forward Emilija Krista Grava put the visitors ahead by one, but Central Connecticut State University made each of its final four free-throw attempts down the stretch while keeping Wagner off the scoreboard as the Seahawks fell to the Blue Devils, 66-63, on Saturday afternoon. 
  • Krista Grava led all scorers with 35 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field while hitting on all ten attempts from the charity stripe.  The second-year forward also corralled a game-high seven rebounds in 38 minutes of play.  
  • Junior combo guard Khaleah Edwards joined Krista Grava in double-figures, finishing with ten points on 4-of-8 shooting in 34 minutes of action. 
  • Ashley Forker led the way for the Blue Devils, converting 7-of-10 from the floor, making all six of her free throw attempts en route to a team-high 23 points.  
  • Ashley Berube and Emma McCamus each tallied 12 points apiece on a combined 7-of-19 shooting from the field with Berube netting half of her points from the free-throw line.
 
About The Bryant University Bulldogs: 
  • The Bulldogs are looking to extend on a three-game winning streak after defeating Mount St. Mary's, 72-67. 
  • Four Bryant players scored in double-figures led by 15 from Masey Zegarowski. Nicole Gallagher added 12 while Brooke Bjelko and Trinity Bravo chipped in 11 and 10 points, respectively.

  • Gallagher, Sydney Holloway and Bjelko are all among the top-30 in the NEC in scoring.

Last Time Against Bryant: 
  • With Wagner leading 73-68 and just 1:33 to play, Bryant scored the next five points to tie the game at 73 before a Naomi Ashley steal set up the game-winner as the Seahawks dropped a heartbreaking, 76-73, decision to the Bulldogs in the Northeast Conference (NEC) regular season finale.  
  • Redshirt sophomore Taylah Simmons and redshirt junior guard Janelle Mullen led the way for the visitors, as both eclipsed the 20-point plateau. For Simmons, she finished with a game-high 25 points, 11 coming in the third quarter. Simmons also pulled down a team-leading, 12 rebounds, for her seventh double-double of the season and ninth of her career.
