Stonehill Skyhawks vs. Wagner Seahawks Prediction

This matchup features Wagner’s scoring pace and quality guard play against a Stonehill team that has played significantly better at home and continues to defend at a high level in its own building. Wagner’s offensive ceiling keeps the team competitive, but Stonehill’s home court edge, defensive stability, and more balanced scoring make the Skyhawks the more reliable side in this environment. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Stonehill Skyhawks to win this game.
