The Seahawks start the last month of the calendar year at home with a game against Fayetteville State on Dec. 1 in the opener of a doubleheader at Trask Coliseum. A pair of contests against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents follow as UNCW travels to North Carolina on Dec. 5 and Pittsburgh on Dec. 18.
After returning home to welcome Longwood on Dec. 21, the non-conference slate draws to a close at East Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 30.
In addition to the regular season schedule, the Seahawks will also entertain Catawba for an exhibition contest on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 2 p.m.
