Seahawks sink cold-shooting Pirates

From staff and electronic reports

UNC-Wilmington's Trask Coliseum proved once again to be a treacherous place for East Carolina as the Pirates sputtered offensively in a 59-44 loss to the Seahawks Tuesday night.

Junior Todd Hendley scored a game-high 15 points and led a late 11-2 surge that sealed the Seahawks' victory, their 20th over ECU in 26 games the teams have played in Wilmington over the years.

Freshman Montez Downey added 14 points for UNCW, including 11 in the second half, while junior Vladimir Kuljanin recorded 12 points.

Freshman John Fields was a rare example of offensive proficiency on a frigid shooting night for the Pirates, scoring 12 points on 5 of 6 from the floor and a pair of free throws.

ECU (4-3) made only 17 of 50 field goal attempts (34.0 percent), 3 of 22 from three-point range (13.6 percent) and 7 of 15 free throws (46.7 percent.)

Freshman Gabe Blair had 10 rebounds for the Pirates.

The Seahawk (3-4) were 22 of 54 from the field (40.7 percent), 5 of 16 from behind the arc (31.3 percent) and 10 of 12 from the foul line (83.3 percent.)

The teams were tied at halftime, 21-21.

East Carolina will host South Florida on Saturday at 7 p.m.
