Suburban Patriots Downed in Wilmington

A hard fought game resulted in a nice victory for UNCW against the Patriots of GMU. TJ Carter lit up the scoreboard for the Hawks pouring in 28. Todd Hendley also put up 13 points basically all in the 2nd half due to foul trouble and turnover problems in the 1st. Great showing by the students and the rest of the crowd for that matter this is what Coach B had to say about it:

Students –

I wanted to say thank you for a great turnout last Thursday and Saturday at two big games for the Seahawks. Your energy and enthusiasm inside Trask and helped give our team a big lift. With your help we were able to stop Towson Thursday and get past George Mason Saturday to move into a first-place tie in the conference. The student section in all teal was a great sight. I encourage you to all wear your teal again this coming Saturday when we host a very good Northeastern team. It’ll be their first visit to Trask Coliseum, so I’m counting on you to show them why it’s the Toughest Place to Play in the CAA! Get your tickets for that game now at the University Union Information Desk. Thanks again for all your support. See you Saturday!

- Coach Brownell
