Seahawks Bounce Back with 77-69 Win vs. Camels

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Four UNCW men's basketball players reached double figures and the Seahawks held a 41-24 rebounding advantage en route to a 77-69 win vs. Campbell in Coastal Athletic Association play on Saturday night at Trask Coliseum.

The Seahawks improved to 11-4 overall and stand 1-1 in league play following the first weekend. The Camels dipped to 6-9 and are also 1-1 in the circuit.

UNCW's Donovan Newby led the team with 17 points on 11-of-11 free throw shooting in 39 minutes of action. Harlan Obioha contributed 13 points (eight in the second half) while Khamari McGriff and Bo Montgomery were sparkplugs off the bench with 15 and 12 points, respectively.

Campbell's Colby Duggan paced all scorers with 22 points while Jasin Sinani added 13. Nolan Forsey and Caleb Zurliene each had 10 for the visiting Camels.

UNCW outscored Campbell 37-20 over the final 15 minutes of the first half to erase an early 11-2 deficit and carry a 39-31 advantage into the break.

The Seahawks built their largest lead, 56-46, with 9:47 to go in the second half on an 11-0 run that included seven points from Newby. 

The Camels, however, responded with nine unanswered points to make it a one-point game before UNCW responded again with nine of the game's next 11 points to push their lead back to eight, 65-57 with 4:48 left.

A pair of Zurliene free throws made it a one-possession game again, 69-66, with under two minutes remaining. The Seahawks then rattled off eight of the contest's final 11 points to seal the 77-69 verdict.

UNCW will next travel north for its first CAA road weekend at Monmouth (Jan. 9) and Hofstra (Jan. 11).
