Jasmine Nwajei has been the gift that keeps on giving. Since Christmas, Wagner’s sophomore guard has played more minutes (118) and scored more points (78) than any other Northeast Conference player. She averaged 26.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.0 steals and 4.7 assists per contest during a three-game span that began with a double-digit victory over Ivy League member Columbia. In her final appearance in 2014, Nwajei erupted for one of the nation’s nine 40-point performances as the Seahawks closed out the non-conference portion of their schedule against a local rival. Powering Wagner past the Lions, 97-86, the New York City product poured in 40 points (on 12-of-22 shooting) while logging 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals. Nwajei played all 40 minutes in Wagner’s Northeast Conference opener, a 76-60 triumph over Saint Francis U, and notched her second consecutive double-double. The 5-foot-8 do-it-all guard produced 17, points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and six steals while leading the Seahawks to their third win in a row. Nwajei closed out the three-game sample by contributing 21 points, seven rebounds and four steals in a two-point loss to Mount St. Mary’s. She eclipsed the 20-point mark for the fifth time in six games when her lay-up tied the score at 58-58 with 00:09 remaining.
