Davis was the star of the show in Wagner’s 34-17 win over Iona on Saturday, rushing 31 times for a career-high 251 yards and three touchdowns. Davis opened the scoring when he dove in from two yards out late in the first quarter. With the Seahawks nursing a 21-17 lead midway through the fourth quarter, he accounted for 41 yards in a 55-yard Wagner drive that culminated when Davis turned the corner on a seven-yard touchdown scamper with 4:06 to play. He went on to ice the contest with an 80-yard scoring sprint with 1:28 remaining in the contest. The 251 yards marked the highest single-game rushing total for an NEC running back since Sacred Heart’s Marvin Royal galloped for 302 yards vs. Iona on October 28, 2000. Davis, seventh on Wagner’s all-time rushing list with 1,944 yards, currently leads the league and ranks second nationally in rushing with 145.0 ypg.
