WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW's Donovan Newby scored a career-high 22 points as the Seahawks held off upset-minded Campbell, 77-74, on Saturday in Coastal Athletic Association men's basketball action at Trask Coliseum.

Anthony Dell'Orso paced Campbell with 22 points while Elijah Walsh added 18 points and Jasin Smith chipped in 14.

Following a made free throw by Campbell that tied the game at 67-all with 3:28 left in the second half, Newby knocked down a three-pointer from the right side off a feed from White for a 70-67 lead the Seahawks would never lose.
