Nwajei achieved a feat that has been matched by only eight other Division I player this season. Wagner’s sophomore guard poured in 39 points on the road at America East member Vermont. The single-game scoring output is the highest in the NEC thus far this season and sits tied for seventh overall on the NCAA leader board. The New York City product secured 11 rebounds, dished out three assists and made five steals en-route to her first double-double of the season. Nwajei shot 48.6 percent (18-of-37) from the field during the 82-75 setback and was responsible for three of the team’s six 3-pointers. Nwajei, the 2014 NEC Rookie of the Year, reached the 20-point plateau on 13 occasions as a freshman, but never scored 30 in a game until netting 32 in the 2014-15 season opener at Virginia Commonwealth. She currently ranks second overall amongst NEC scoring leaders at 19.3 points per game.
