SERIES HISTORY
The Seahawks and Paladins will meet for the fifth time with UNCW entering Sunday with a 1-1-2 record against the 2025 College Cup national semifinalist. The teams last squared off in the 2024 season opener in Greenville, S.C., a 1-1 draw.
 
The UNCW Soccer Stadium is hosting a team that played in last year's College Cup for the first time since 2017, when the Seahawks beat #3 North Carolina 1-0 on their home pitch. The Tar Heels were national semifinalists in 2016 and achieved the same result later in 2017.
 
LAST TIME OUT
Bryan Miralrio paced UNCW with five of their 20 shot attempts, none more impactful than the game-winning goal in the 79th minute to break the scoreless deadlock. Cameron Keay and Osei Gyamfi both registered four shots.
 
Senior goalkeeper Trey Smiley fashioned a clean sheet with three saves.

FIVE SEAHAWKS EARN CAA PRESEASON ACCOLADES AWARDS
Three Seahawks were named to the Preseason All-Coastal Athletic Association Team while the Seahawks were projected to finish second in the CAA South Division, as announced by the league on Aug. 17.
 
Midfielder Osei Gyamfi, along with Campbell transfer defender Jake Roberts and goalkeeper Trey Smiley were selected among the league's top players following a vote of the league's 10 head coaches.

CIRCLE 'EM
The Seahawks, who extended their league record with their 29th CAA Tournament appearance in 2025, will traverse a 16-game regular season schedule that includes eight contests at the UNCW Soccer Stadium this fall.
 
UNCW will once again play a home-and-home series with the four other teams from the CAA South Division – CAA Champion Elon, Campbell, Charleston and William & Mary – after the league changed its scheduling protocol in men's soccer prior to the start of the 2025 campaign.
 
A pair of contests with the Phoenix, along with home games against Southern Conference Champion Furman and St. John's and Atlantic Coast Conference road matches at Clemson and NC State represent the Seahawks' opponents who appeared in last year's NCAA Tournament.

SEAHAWKS AT THE WORLD CUP
A pair of standout alums took the world's biggest stage this past summer when Hjalmar Ekdal and Austin MacPhee competed across North America in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
 
Ekdal, who spent the 2017 season with the Seahawks, is a reserve defender on the Swedish national team.
 
MacPhee, a UNCW midfielder from 1999-2002, helped Portugal to the Round of 16 in his first World Cup in his first year with the country after serving on the national team staffs of Northern Ireland, his native Scotland and Portugal. A renowned set-piece coach, MacPhee joined Premier League club Chelsea in July 2026 after four years with Aston Villa.
