The local pair joined All-American candidate, Amber Harris, who led the Musketeers with 16 points, Tyeasha Moss with 14 and Ta'Shia Phillips with 13 in double figures scoring.
Phillips, Xavier's all-time leading rebounder, added 15 more to her total.
Wanninger played a season-high 19 minutes and Gray logged 17.
"I'm really happy to be able to play a lot of our young people," Coach Kevin McGuff said. "I think this stretch of games will allow us to have more depth later in the season."
Wanninger also contributed five rebounds and five assists, including two that set up scores by Gray. Gray recorded a rebound and an assist
"Ashley and Amber are getting more comfortable with our system. They are both talented players but now the are doing a good job learning the system."
Amber Harris is getting used to playing with the newcomers.
"We have great team chemistry. I know what Tyeasha (Moss) is going to do, what Special (Jennings) is going to do. The newcomers takes some getting used to. They (Wanninger, Gray and Lynnette Holmes) are talented players they'll get it."
