The Merrimack Warriors are off to a terrible 2-13 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Season, ninth in the Northeast Conference, and are on a disappointing three-game losing streak.
They are coming off a defeat against the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights (71-63) in their last outing. Jordan Minor's 19-point effort along with Ziggy Reid's 14 and Javon Bennett's 15 points could not help them win the game.
They will now take on the Wagner Seahawks, who are 8-4 at the start of the season, first in the same conference, and on a brilliant four-game winning streak. They defeated the Long Island University Sharks (69-61) in their previous outing led by an overall team performance from the entire starting lineup. The Seahawks will now host this game at the Spiro Sports Center on Saturday (December 31).
