Wagner needed a result more than it needed style points, and it got one Thursday.
The Seahawks (7-13) edged Le Moyne (11-12) 79-78 on Feb. 6, 2026, grinding out a one-point win that halted a slide and flipped the script on a Le Moyne group that entered in better recent form.
What decided it
In a game without a cushion, Wagner’s ability to finish on the right side of the final possession was the separator. The Seahawks didn’t run away from Le Moyne — they simply survived it, answering pressure with enough execution to protect a one-point margin at the horn.
Context that mattered
This one landed differently because of where both teams were coming from. Wagner entered at 7-13 and in a WLLLL stretch, making every close finish feel like a referendum on late-game poise. Le Moyne arrived at 11-12 with a LLWWW run that suggested momentum and confidence in tight games.
Instead, Wagner delivered the cleaner closing sequence and came away with the win.
Scoreline recap
Final: Wagner 79, Le Moyne 78
Quarter-by-quarter scoring was not provided, but the one-point final underscored how narrow the margins were throughout.
What it means going forward
For Wagner, a one-point win doesn’t erase the broader record, but it can change the temperature around the program. Getting back in the win column after a difficult run matters — especially in a game that demanded composure rather than comfort.
For Le Moyne, the loss stings because it came with an opportunity to keep building off recent wins. At 11-12, the path forward will hinge on turning strong stretches into complete 40-minute finishes — and finding a way to flip these one-possession outcomes.
