Seahawk Comeback Thwarted By Pride

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Despite cutting its deficit to one with 2:21 left in the fourth quarter, UNCW was unable to complete a comeback from a 15-point deficit in a 54-46 loss to visiting Hofstra on Sunday in Coastal Athletic Association women's basketball action at Trask Coliseum.

The Pride halted a four-game losing skid with the road win to improve to 3-10 overall and 1-1 in the CAA. The Seahawks saw their modest two-game winning streak fall and slipped to 5-8 and 1-1.

UNCW's Rori Cox knocked down a three-pointer from the wing to narrow the Pride lead to 47-46 with 2:21 on the clock. The Seahawks, however, committed three consecutive turnovers following stops. Hofstra used a game-ending 7-0 run to put the game out of reach.

Nevaeh Brown came off the bench for Hofstra to score a game-high 15 points while Chloe Sterling added 11. Sandra Magolico grabbed a game-high 14 rebound for the Pride, which finished with a 42-35 advantage on the boards.

Torin Rogers' 12 points led the Seahawks and Icyss Storm chipped in 10 points. Kylah Silver finished with eight points and a team-leading seven rebounds.

The Pride erased a one-point first quarter deficit by outscoring UNCW, 20-13 in the second to take a 32-24 halftime lead. Hofstra shot 7-of-13 (53.8) from the field in that second period.

The Seahawks visit Monmouth on Jan. 9 for a 2 p.m. start when they next return to action.
