NEWARK, Delaware – UNCW used a solid shooting effort in the first half to build an early lead, but Delaware answered with a strong effort of its own after the break to hand the Seahawks an 80-62 loss in Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball action at the Bob Carpenter Center on Sunday afternoon.
