Too many comebacks and memories to count.

is back, and the best is yet to come!
It's set.
Charleston (16-1, 4-0) will put its 15-game winning streak on the line at Trask Coliseum on Wednesday night vs. UNCW (14-3, 4-0) who holds a 13-game streak.
One of the most anticipated

matchups of all-time.
Former
@UNCWBaseball
pitcher Austin Warren is headed to Los Angeles, where he’ll become the 12th Seahawk to reach the Majors!
He excelled recently in an extended role, allowing just two hits + two runs over nine innings while striking out 13.

There he is!

made his MLB as a defensive replacement in RF in the bottom of the 9th as the Rockies closed out a win tonight.
That makes him the 14th

Eric Van Der Heijden just announced his commitment to UNCW.
Former Ole Miss wing was a big-time recruit out of Millbrook and once committed to Louisville.

Kevin Keatts saved UNCW from a decade of failure, and now he's done something most people believed impossible at State.
Winning three conference championships in 10 seasons as a head coach is pretty, pretty good when you've taken over two rebuilding jobs.
Another one!

finishes 20-8 in CAA play for another regular-season title and 31-21 overall.
The Hawks are the top-seeded team in next week's CAA Championship.
SEAHAWKS WIN!

If your wife says she’s taking you to the hospital because the only word you can say is “pocket”, she’s probably right.
I’m gonna be fine, thankfully ❤️

made it official tonight via his Instagram account, announcing he’ll forego the extra year to declare for the NBA Draft and pursue a pro career.
Wherever he lands, Jaylen is sure to be successful in basketball and well beyond it.
Former Seahawk Greg Jones has been called up by the Colorado Rockies and will be with them for tonight's game vs. the Cardinals (7:45 pm).
When he makes his MLB debut, he'll be

's 14th alum to reach the big leagues.
Knew UConn was pretty good, but coming out of this even more impressed. Huskies are going to be playing in late March.
Sanogo and Hawkins are elite. Newton does a little bit of everything well and Karaban understands his role and executes. Goodness.
This one came out of nowhere!

considered UNCW last year before choosing Charleston. Had a couple big games for the Cougars, too.

FINAL:

4, No. 25 Northeastern 2.
Hawks take the series and the CAA still runs through Wilmington.
Incredible effort from

Thank you for an incredible ride this season,

You gave us something to believe in and get excited for during a time we needed a little hope. Thankfully, we all got to be together to pack Brooks in the end.
Taber Mongero is getting it done over this 8-3 stretch.
Timely hits, sacrifice bunts, solid base-running and steady defense — all of and any of the little things
@UNCWBaseball
needs.
WHAT A GAME!
@UNCWBaseball
rallies to top NC State 13-11.
That was a team win, all the way around. Everyone contributed and the Seahawks made plays when they needed them.
That's the kind of win UNCW desperately needed to get this thing going down the stretch.
A dominant win for your *first place* Seahawks, who have won 13 of 16.
11 different players registered a hit for

Thank you,

We’ll be back next June.

Thanks for everything you've done for UNCW and enjoy a well-deserved retirement!
History!

With 37 career homers, the has a chance to set the program record (currently 40) this season as well.
Timely hits and a great night from the bullpen give
@UNCWBaseball
a huge win over No. 12 Wake Forest!
After struggling in the midweek early, the Hawks have won three straight over Coastal, NC State and the Deacs.
As emotional as we’ve ever seen Siddle. Obvious how much this team bonded through what they endured through the second half off the CAA schedule.
“I’m more hurt for them; you guys have no idea what we’ve been through.”
Per sources, UNCW is working on another extension + raise for
@CoachSiddleUNCW
with the hope of getting it done soon.
Considerations also include getting assistants taken care of.
What a ride, from the early growing pains to bringing home a CAA regular-season title and CBI championship banner.
It was an absolute joy to watch this team.
Thank you for changing the culture, rebuilding the foundation and putting
@uncwmenshoops
back where it belongs.
Without a doubt, this was the first “biggest game” at Trask Coliseum.
David Robinson and Navy came to town in 1987 to take on a UNCW team led by future pro Brian Rowsom.
Austin Warren overcomes concerns over his size with heart, determination and a nasty slider to make the big leagues as the

Glad A&T is in the league. This place is more active than 90 percent of CAA arenas and the students aren’t even fully back.
If being the nation’s top HBCU wasn’t enough, moving up a level in hoops is only going to improve recruiting.
Congrats to
@roupp5
, who wrapped up his
@UNCWBaseball
careers as the CAA Pitcher of the Year and turned in a few of the most memorable performances in recent history!
Tanner Thach gets No. 21 to tie the UNCW single-season HR record.
It’s the 36th of his career, which moves him to No. 5. on UNCW’s career HR list. Bryan Britt and Casey Golden hold the record at 40.
(He’s a sophomore.)
PITCHER OF THE YEAR, CONFIRMED.
@roupp5
tosses a three-hit shutout, striking out 12 as

Over three starts vs. the Phoenix this season, Roupp went 24.2 IP, allowing two earned runs and nine hits with 28 strikeouts and 7 walks.
