Staten Island, NY – The Wagner College men's basketball team will be looking for its third straight win, when the Seahawks travel to St. Francis Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon at 4 pm.
Last Time Out
Down to just seven players on the night, the Wagner College men's basketball team overcame an 11-point first half deficit to earn a gritty 68-56 victory over Central Connecticut on Friday night at the Spiro Sports Center. The Seahawks were powered by junior
Elijah Ford's 18 points, while junior
Alex Morales added 17 and sophomore

Playoff Push
Still two games out of a playoff spot with three games remaining, Wagner trails Fairleigh Dickinson, Mount St. Mary's, St. Francis Brooklyn, and Bryant, who are all tied ahead of the Green and White at 6-9 in NEC play. Wagner owns the tiebreaker over Mount St. Mary's after sweeping the season series over the Mountaineers and still plays the Terriers and Bulldogs. The Seahawks do not own tiebreakers over FDU and Bryant.
Nesby Coming on Strong
Tyrone Nesby's 15 points on Friday night marked his third double digit game in the last four games. The sophomore continues to become more efficient, making four shots from distance on Friday. Nesby is now 8-14 from distance over his last two outings.
