Returning kickoffs during the annual Outer Bridge rivalry game, Wright sparked Wagner on a couple of occasions during what was a career day for the sophomore. Wright totaled 189 yards on five kick returns, accounting for the most return yards in a single NEC game since the 2010 season.  The highlight of Wright’s afternoon came on the first play of the fourth quarter when he brought back a Monmouth kickoff 89 yards to pay dirt. The touchdown return was the longest in NEC play since Central Connecticut’s Josue Paul returned one 90 yards against Wagner on Oct. 30, 2010. After Monmouth went up by a 21-3 score early in the second quarter, the sophomore return specialist ripped off a 37-yard run back to set the Seahawks for a touchdown drive.
