Seahawks Close Regular Season at Monmouth

UNCW will be the No. 14 Seed in the CAA Championships

WEST LONG BRANCH, New Jersey – Redshirt freshman Taylor Henderson (20 points) reached double figures for the 19th time this season as the UNCW women's basketball team closed out the regular season with a 65-53 setback at Monmouth on Saturday afternoon at the OceanFirst Bank Center.

The Hawks (21-8, 14-4 CAA) secured the No. 2 seed in the 2024 Coastal Athletic Association Championships. The Seahawks (5-24, 3-15 CAA) will be the No. 14 seed and play No. 11 Northeastern next Wednesday in Washington, D.C.

Henderson reached 20 points for the seventh time this season and was joined in double-digits scoring by senior Evan Miller (15).

Monmouth forward Taisha Exanor led the Hawks with 12 points and 18 rebounds with forward Rosalie Mercille adding 11 points and guard Ariana Vanderhoop reaching 10.

The teams played a close first half with Monmouth ahead 30-26 at halftime. The Hawks then turned up the offense, opening the third quarter on a 17-3 run to build a game-high 47-29 advantage at the 3:39 mark.

UNCW responded with a 15-3 spurt between the end of the third and start of the fourth quarters that cut the deficit to seven, 50-43, with 8:17 left in the contest. Monmouth, however, responded with five of the game's next six points to push its lead back to 10 points, 54-44, with 6:39 remaining en route to the win.

The Seahawks and Huskies will tip-off at 4:30 next Wednesday at the Entertainment & Sports Arena with the winner advancing to play No. 6 Towson on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
