Preview: Le Moyne Dolphins at Wagner Seahawks

NEW YORK (Interstat) — The Wagner Seahawks host the Le Moyne Dolphins in a Northeast Conference women’s basketball regular-season finale on Monday, March 9, 2026, at Spiro Sports Center. Both teams enter the contest looking to build momentum heading into the postseason.

Wagner (13-16) holds the better overall record, but Le Moyne (11-20) won the most recent meeting between the two teams, a 62-49 victory at home on Feb. 5. The season series is split, as Wagner defended its home court with a 59-45 win on Jan. 22.

The Dolphins have struggled for consistency but are 4-3 in their last seven games. They are led by guard Ashley Buragas, who is averaging 17.3 points over that stretch, including a 30-point, 8-rebound, 4-assist performance in a win at Chicago State on Feb. 14. In Thursday’s 72-66 loss at Mercyhurst, Buragas scored 13 points, while Peyton Dincher (14 points) and Sierra Linnin (12 points) provided support.

The Seahawks have lost three of their last four, including a 79-71 home loss to Long Island on Thursday. Guard Irene Fernandez de Caleya, who scored 14 points in that contest, has been a steady presence, averaging 10.7 points over the last six games. Forward Lijirin Doyinsola Modesayor added a team-high 15 points off the bench in the loss.

Monday’s matchup will likely hinge on backcourt play, with Buragas and Fernandez de Caleya as key figures. Wagner will aim to leverage its home-court advantage to finish above .500 in conference play, while Le Moyne seeks to close its season with a winning streak after snapping a two-game skid last Saturday.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
