The Seahawks’ 20th win of the season did not come easy, as neither team shot above 40% from the field.
However, UNCW did exactly what was needed, outscoring the Dragons 12-4 in the final two minutes to take a 69-63 win on the road.
Jaylen Sims led the Hawks in scoring with 17 points. Trazarien White added 14 points along with 11 rebounds for his second straight double-double.
With the regular season coming to a close next week, the Seahawks know what they need to do to secure the one-seed in the upcoming CAA tournament.
A UNCW win and Towson loss gives UNCW the top-seed. If both teams win out, UNCW will take the two seed and have a slightly more difficult road to the CAA championship.
The Seahawks look to win their third straight to close the regular season on Saturday as they take on Delaware at 4 p.m. Stream the game at FloSports.com or listen live on 95.9 FM The Breeze. Also follow @uncwmenshoops on Twitter for highlights and live score updates.
