NEW YORK (AP) — Jordan Johnson’s 30-yard pick-6 opened the scoring, and Wagner led the rest of the way in a 20-14 win over Stonehill on Saturday.
The Seahawks (5-6, 4-2 Northeast Conference) have won four consecutive games for the first time since Wagner’s nine-game winning streak in 2012. Johnson’s first-quarter interception return for a touchdown was Wagner’s first pick-6 since Zachary Ricci went 49 yards for a score against Stonehill earlier in 2023.
Andre Hines extended the Seahawks’ lead to 16-7 late in the third quarter with a 9-yard touchdown run. Nicholas Romero added the second of his two field goals early in the fourth quarter, pushing the lead to 13 points.
Hines was the offensive standout for Wagner, rushing for 139 yards on 26 carries. Overall, Wagner finished with 245 yards of offense—just two yards fewer than the Skyhawks.
Stonehill (3-8, 2-4) narrowed the gap to 20-13 when Joshua Roberson broke free for a 31-yard touchdown run with nine minutes remaining in the game.
Zavion Woodard led the Skyhawks on the ground with 90 yards on 10 carries. Quarterback Jack O’Connell threw for 89 yards, recorded an interception, and scored on a 1-yard rushing touchdown.
Wagner’s defense and balanced offense proved enough to hold off Stonehill for the victory.
