Chaunce Jenkins collected 16 points to guide Seton Hall to a 54-28 victory over Wagner on Saturday afternoon in South Orange, N.J.

Jenkins was one of two scorers in double figures on either side in a game where both offenses failed to get out in transition and often ate up clock time on each possession. The teams combined for only 12 fastbreak points.

Yacine Toumi chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds for the Pirates (2-2), who held the Seahawks to 23.9 percent shooting from the field and 16.7 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Seton Hall connected on 45.5 percent of its shots overall, including 8 of 18 attempts from long range (44.4 percent).

Wagner (1-3) got eight points and five boards from Javier Ezquerra and seven points from Ja'Kair Sanchez.

After Keyontae Lewis cut the Seahawks' deficit to 26-16 with a layup to open the second half, Seton Hall turned the game into a rout by scoring 20 of the next 24 points to make it 46-20 with 8:57 to play.

Dylan Addae-Wusu, Isaiah Coleman and Jenkins each drained a triple during the Pirates' back-breaking run.

Seton Hall never let the lead dip below 21 the rest of the way.

Wagner grabbed a 7-2 lead 4:34 into the game, but the Pirates dominated the rest of the first half.

Toumi made a pair of layups and knocked down a 3-pointer to highlight a 12-2 run that put Seton Hall up 14-9 with 10:20 remaining until halftime. Sanchez responded with a three-pointer before the Seahawks went cold and allowed the Pirates to break the contest open.

The visitors experienced a scoring drought that lasted 9:28, finally breaking through when Ezquerra hit a jumper with 28 seconds left in the first half.

While the Wagner offense was sputtering, Seton Hall rattled off 10 unanswered points, with Ezquerra's make pulling the Seahawks within 24-14. Scotty Middleton's jumper with four seconds to play sent the Pirates into the break with a 12-point cushion.
