HACKENSACK, N.J. - The FDU Knights earned a 78-52 victory over their conference rival Wagner Seahawks. Saturday's dominant performance came on Senior Day as the Knights honored four senior players and two other valued members of their program.
 

How it happened

The two teams battled back and forth in the first half with FDU holding onto a slim seven-point, 31-24, lead at halftime. The Knights shot 35% in the first half and held the Seahawks to only 30% shooting. The Knights's defense was stellar once again by holding Wagner to only 52 points and 33/15/61% shooting splits. The third quarter was an explosion by FDU who outscored Wagner 25-12 and shot 50% from the field. The dominance was led by senior forward Sierra DeAngelo.

DeAngelo had a career night on senior day, dropping 30 points and nine rebounds on extremely efficient shooting from the floor. The Pittsburgh, Pa. native shot a near-perfect 11-for-14 from the field, 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe. DeAngelo blew past her previous career best of 23 points which she set earlier in the season against Maryland Eastern Shore.

The Knights also got double-digit efforts out of Chloe Wilson and Dahomée Forgues. Wilson picked up her sixth double-double on the season with 18 points and 13 rebounds, while Forgues had 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists.

Spaniard guard Celia Carbonell drilled two three-pointers in today's contest to extend her consecutive games with a made three-pointer streak to 14 and to capture sole possession of 10th All-Time in program history for made three-pointers.
