WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Sophomore guard Timber Tate led four UNCW players in double figures with a career-high 20 points as the Seahawks earned their third win in the last four games, an 89-63 victory over N.C. Central on Sunday afternoon inside Trask Coliseum.
 
The Seahawks, who scored a season-high 89 points, upped their record to 5-3 on the season while N.C. Central dropped to 2-4 after losing for the fourth time in the last five games.
 
Tate, who fashioned her third double-digit scoring effort of the season, paced the Seahawks after making 7-of-10 field goal attempts, including a 6-for-8 performance from three-point range, with three rebounds and three assists.
 
Senior guard Madison Raque added 15 points with a career-high seven assists while redshirt senior forward Jenny DeGraaf chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds.
 
Sophomore guard Lacey Suggs reached double figures for the fourth consecutive game after coming off the bench to score 10 points after making four of nine field goal attempts.
 
N.C. Central, which opened a six-game road swing, was led by junior guard Rodneysha Martin's 20 points while junior guard Dominique Adams contributed 11 points.   
 
Key Moment: UNCW used a 12-2 run to close out the first quarter and pull away to lead by a 24-13 margin. Six different players scored during the spurt as the Seahawks held N.C. Central to just one field goal over the final six minutes of the period.
