Boston, MA - The Wagner College men's basketball team will play its third consecutive road game when the Seahawks travel to Boston University on Tuesday, November 19 at 7:00 pm.
The Gauntlet

Despite the tough schedule, Wagner is 41st nationally in scoring defense at 61.8 points per game, which also leads the Northeast Conference (NEC).Â
The Emergence Of Zavier Fitch
Freshman Zavier Fitch scored his first career points against Manor and has seen action in all four games so far this season.

The Bench Makes A Difference
A year after being limited to just seven scholarship players for a majority of last season, the Seahawks have received solid production from their bench during the first four games of the new year.
