Before Brockport
Wagner came to Brockport following stints at multiple NCAA programs, with stops at Division I, II, and III programs. Wagner was a former defensive coordinator for the Brockport women's team in its inaugural season in 2001. Following one year at Brockport, Wagner accepted a position as the top assistant at St. Bonaventure University. In the program's third season of play, Wagner helped the Bonnies reach seven wins, a school a record for victories in a season at the time. After the 2002 season, Wagner became the head women's coach at NCAA Division II Gannon University. In his first six seasons at the helm, Wagner posted a record of 61-30 and never had a losing season. Wagner spent one year as an assistant coach at Division I University of Connecticut before returning to Gannon for two more seasons.
