Wagner College 117, Bryant & Stratton College Albany 51

Wagner College produced a dominant 117-51 victory over Bryant & Stratton College Albany on Nov. 12, 2026, using a blistering first half and a deep scoring effort to run away with the NCAA non-conference matchup. The Seahawks scored from every level, forced turnovers in bunches, and emptied their bench in a game that was never competitive after the opening 10 minutes.

Seahawks start fast

Wagner led 58-22 at halftime after opening with a 20-2 run. The Seahawks pressed early, denied easy entry passes, and turned Bryant & Stratton’s mistakes into transition baskets. By the midway point of the first half, Wagner had already forced 12 turnovers and built a lead that allowed it to experiment with different lineups.

The second half was more of the same. Wagner kept its foot on the gas, even with reserves on the floor, and pushed the lead past 60 points late in the game. The Seahawks’ ball movement was sharp throughout, and their bench players played with the same pace as the starters.

Three-point barrage

Wagner knocked down 17 three-pointers and shot better than 55% from the field. The Seahawks created clean looks by driving into the paint and kicking out to shooters, and Bryant & Stratton never adjusted to the extra pass. Six different Wagner players made at least one three, a reflection of how unselfish the offense was.

The Seahawks also dominated inside, scoring 42 points in the paint. That inside-out balance made Wagner nearly impossible to guard. Bryant & Stratton tried both man-to-man and zone defenses, but neither slowed Wagner’s rhythm.

Bench depth shines

Wagner’s reserves combined for 49 points, matching Bryant & Stratton’s entire output for much of the second half. The Seahawks used a deep rotation and maintained their defensive intensity regardless of who was on the floor.

• Devin Harper: 21 points, 6 rebounds
• Malik Greene: 18 points, 5 three-pointers
• Wagner bench: 49 points
• Wagner three-pointers: 17

Harper was the headliner, scoring in transition and from beyond the arc. Greene caught fire in the first half and helped break the game open. The Seahawks’ guards consistently pushed the tempo, and the big men ran the floor for easy finishes.

Defense creates separation

Bryant & Stratton committed 24 turnovers, and Wagner turned those into 31 points. The Seahawks recorded 14 steals and repeatedly jumped passing lanes, turning defense into quick offense. Bryant & Stratton shot just 33% from the floor and struggled to get into any half-court sets.

Wagner’s defensive pressure was especially effective on the wings. The Seahawks denied catch-and-shoot opportunities and forced Bryant & Stratton’s guards to put the ball on the floor, where help defenders were waiting. It was a complete defensive performance that fed the offense all night.

Bryant & Stratton keeps fighting

Guard Tyler Moore led Bryant & Stratton with 13 points and hit a few contested jumpers in the second half. Forward Andre Lewis added eight points and six rebounds, but the offense never found a consistent rhythm. The Albany side kept competing on the glass and avoided completely folding, but the talent and depth gap was too large.

Season impact

Wagner’s win is a statement of depth and tempo. The Seahawks showed they can score in bunches and defend with energy, two traits that will matter in Northeast Conference play. A 117-point performance will grab attention, but the more encouraging sign was the unselfishness of the offense and the production from the bench.

For Bryant & Stratton, the game was a difficult non-conference test against a faster, deeper opponent. The focus moving forward will be on ball security and half-court execution. Wagner, meanwhile, moves on with confidence and plenty of momentum.
