North Carolina Central visits for Wagner Seahawks' home opener

Staten Island, New York -- When Wagner College was scrambling to put another game on its schedule late this summer, the options that late in the process weren’t many.

Finally, just before the school year began, coach Dan Hurley received a hurried commitment from North Carolina Central, a program which graduated to Division I several seasons back and was about to begin its inaugural season in the MEAC.

It seemed, at first glance, like a pretty comfortable fit as a home opener for a team in a pinch. Until the Seahawks checked the fine print, that is.

The Division I newbie without a track record to check out turned out to be a team led by athletic forward Dominique Sutton, who went for 21 points and 10 rebounds against the Seahawks when he was wearing a Kansas State jersey in December of 2008.
