In a recent matchup, UNC Wilmington secured a hard-fought 64-55 victory against Monmouth, thanks in part to a strong contribution from Sean Moore, who came off the bench to score 13 points.

On the other side, Monmouth struggled despite the efforts of their standout player, Abdi Bashir Jr., who led his team with 18 points and contributed five assists. Madison Durr provided additional support with 14 points and two steals, yet the Hawks, now sitting at 3 wins and 13 losses with a record of 1-2 in the conference, fell short of a comeback.
