While it was all tied up 29-29 at halftime, Wagner was not quite the Pioneers' equal in the second half on Saturday. The Seahawks fell 63-53 to the Pioneers. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Wagner in their matchups with the Pioneers: they've now lost four in a row.

Meanwhile, CCSU fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Dolphins on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 69-64 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Dolphins.
