UNCW men’s basketball improves to 4-0 with 100-41 win over Montreat

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A dominant Saturday afternoon at Trask Coliseum gave the UNCW men’s basketball team another win and its head coach a new place in the program’s history books. Head coach Takayo Siddle earned his 137th career victory with the Seahawks, moving past UNCW Hall of Fame coach Jerry Wainwright on the school’s all-time wins list.

The milestone came as UNCW defeated Montreat 100-41 during Paint It Navy Night, improving to 4-0 on the season. The Seahawks controlled the matchup throughout the afternoon, with five UNCW players finishing in double figures to help secure the 59-point victory.

Montreat, a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), played the matchup as an exhibition game.

Saturday’s performance also highlighted UNCW’s strong start to the season under Siddle, who is now in his seventh year leading the program. With four consecutive wins to open the season, the Seahawks will look to carry that momentum into their next matchup away from home.

UNCW returns to action Wednesday, November 18, when the Seahawks travel to face Long Island University at 7 p.m.
