STONY BROOK, New York – Redshirt freshman Taylor Henderson matched a career-high with 26 points in UNCW's 68-55 Coastal Athletic Association women's basketball setback at Stony Brook on Sunday afternoon at the Island Federal Arena.

The Seawolves (12-1, 2-0 CAA) travel to Towson next weekend while the Seahawks (2-11, 0-2 CAA) will host Northeastern in their CAA home opener next Friday at 7 p.m.

Henderson's third career 20-point effort was aided by senior Evan Miller's 12 points. Sophomore Mingaile Urmuleviciute pulled down a career-best 11 rebounds.

Graduate center/forward Khari Clark recorded a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Seawolves. Guards Shamarla King (13) and Gigi Gonzalez (12) joined Clark in double figures.

A 9-0 mid-first quarter run put UNCW in front 9-4 but Stony Brook scored eight of the period's final 10 points to carry a slim 12-11 advantage into the second period.

UNCW twice responded to two double-digit Stony Brook leads in the second period, including the quarter's last five points to enter halftime trailing 35-27.

A Sammy Ackles jumper made it a one-possession game, 40-37, with 6:05 in the third quarter. Stony Brook then went on a 12-0 run to push its lead to a game-high 15 points, 52-37, with 2:24 before the final period.

The Seahawks steadily chipped away at the deficit in the fourth quarter, with a 5-0 spurt making it 61-54 with 3:34 left to play. The Seawolves, however, held UNCW without a field goal the rest of the way to pull out the victory.
