WILMINGTON, North Carolina – UNCW returns to the road Wednesday for a 6 p.m. start at High Point before returning to Brooks Field this weekend.

The Seahawks, winners of their last four, had their game with East Carolina canceled on Tuesday as rain made its way through the city of Wilmington. The game will not be made up.

Sophomore Justin Crump will make the start tonight for the Seahawks (19-9) while the Panthers (22-10) counter with freshman Cooper Jeffers.

High Point has carved out a 16-5 record at home this season and is coming off a series win over visiting Longwood in Big South Conference play last weekend.

The Seahawks open a seven-game homestand with a 6 p.m. start on Friday against East Tennessee State.
