Once they found their rhythm, the UNC
Wilmington men’s baslcetball team picked
up the pace to trample the Charlotte Stare,
87-57 in an exhibition game last Saturday.
“[With] first game jitters, it’s going to take
a matter of time before we shake it off,” jun
ior Ed Williams said.
Some of our new kids... got an oppor
tunity togettheirfeetweC’said UNCWHead
Coach Jerry Wainwright as the team’s four
actve freshmen combined for 29 points.
The Seahawks took control of the ball at
the tip-off, and sophomore Brett Blizzard hit
a quick three-pointer, while Williams scored
a basket to jump to a five-point lead in the
first minute of the game. The Star^ closed
the gap to two at the 14:14 mark, when Dale
Cook made a layup for Charlotte to create a
score of 11-9, but that was as close as they
were able get for the rest of the game. Bliz
zard and Stewart Hare combined for seven
points to spurt a 9-3 run and establish an eight-
point advantage with 6:30 to go in the half.
Neither team dominated during the remain
der of the half, leaving UNCW to enter the
locker room with a 37-28 lead.
In the second half, the Seahawks’ pre
season conditioning proved to have a posi
tive effect, as they maintained the fast-paced
tempo and fuU-court pressure that built the
nine-point half time lead. Despite being short-
handed due to the absence of seniors
Dominick Scott and Marcus Green, as well
as freshman Brandon Clifford, UNCW was
able to employ a fuU-court press for the ex
tent of the game. The execution of the press
was weak at times, but the Seahawks com
pensated with their quickness.
‘1 thought we got into [the press],” Wain
wright commented. “I don’t think we came
outof ittoo well.”
“(The press] is probably our weakest pcmt
right now,” said Blizzard, who tied Williams
