Seahawks Surge Past Blue Hens, 88-58

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The UNCW men's basketball team closed the first half on an 18-2 run on its way to an 88-58 victory over Delaware in the Coastal Athletic Association regular-season finale on Saturday night at Trask Coliseum.

The Seahawks (24-7, 14-4 CAA) next turn their attention to the 2025 Jersey Mike's CAA Championship in Washington D.C., where they will be the No. 2 seed and play the winner of No. 7 Northeastern and No. 10 Hampton on Sunday, Mar. 9, at 6 p.m.

The Blue Hens (12-19, 5-13 CAA) will be the No. 12 seed and play No. 13 Stony Brook at 2 p.m. next Friday in the first game of the tournament.

UNCW's Bo Montgomery finished one shy of his career-high with 23 points to lead all scorers and five Seahawks in double figures. Other UNCW players with at least 10 points include Harlan Obioha (16), Nolan Hodge (12), Khamari McGriff (11) and Donovan Newby (10).

Delaware's John Camden and Cavan Reilly combined for 30 points in the loss.

The contest featured 10 lead changes and three ties in the first 15 minutes of play before the Seahawks rattled off 14 unanswered points in part of their big 18-2 run to carry a 44-28 lead into halftime.

UNCW kept its foot on the gas throughout the second half to close out Senior Day with a win for honored seniors Joshua Corbin, Sean Moore, and Jake Murphy along with Montgomery and Newby.
