Stonehill vs. Wagner Prediction

I’m leaning toward Stonehill here. I just think that momentum is important this time of year, especially in the smaller conferences like the NEC that have a tendency to start their conference tournaments slightly earlier than everyone else. Wagner has a solid defense without question and it might be one of the best in the NEC. However, there are a lot of times when I worry that Wagner leans on that defense a little bit too much and I think that Stonehill could get the job done on the road here. Give me Stonehill in this one.
