Preview: Wagner Seahawks at Long Island Sharks BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Interstat) — Two teams heading in opposite directions will meet Monday when the Long Island Sharks host the Wagner Seahawks in a men’s NCAA Division I basketball matchup. The Sharks (12-8) enter on a positive trajectory, having won five of their last six games. Their most recent result was a 66-63 road victory at Stonehill on Friday, powered by 20 points from standout forward Greg Gordon. Gordon has been a consistent force, scoring in double figures in eight consecutive games and averaging 17.1 points over his last seven contests. Conversely, the Seahawks (6-12) are mired in a six-game losing skid. Their latest setback was a narrow 69-67 defeat at Le Moyne on Friday. Guard Nick Jones, Wagner’s player to watch, tallied 13 points in that loss. Jones has shown high-scoring capability during the slump, posting 20 or more points in three of the last six games, but Wagner has struggled to close out tight contests, with four of those six losses coming by four points or fewer. The matchup pits Wagner’s offensive catalyst, Jones, against a Long Island defense that has held opponents to an average of 62.8 points during its current 5-1 stretch. Gordon’s interior presence for the Sharks will challenge a Wagner squad looking to stabilize its season. Long Island holds a clear advantage in the standings and recent form. Wagner, seeking to snap its prolonged slide, will need a standout performance from Jones and improved late-game execution to challenge the surging Sharks on the road. The game is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 26, 2026. Following this contest, Long Island will host Le Moyne on Thursday, while Wagner will prepare for a home game against Central Connecticut on Jan. 29. The two teams will meet again in Staten Island on Feb. 12.
