ROCK HILL, S.C. (Interstat) — The Winthrop Eagles look to continue their winning momentum when they host the UNC Wilmington Seahawks in a nonconference women’s basketball game Sunday at Winthrop Coliseum. Winthrop (6-4) enters on a two-game win streak, including a dominant 105-41 victory over JWU Charlotte on Wednesday. The Eagles’ offense has been potent, averaging 75.8 points in their six wins. Guard Amourie Porter has been a catalyst, averaging 12.7 points and 4.1 assists per game. She is coming off a 14-point, 7-assist performance against JWU Charlotte. UNC Wilmington (3-4) seeks to rebound from a 63-83 road loss at West Georgia on Wednesday. The Seahawks have shown resilience, with two of their three wins coming at home, but are 1-3 in away games. Forward Angelina Pelayo will be a key factor; she posted 12 points and eight rebounds in the loss to West Georgia. The Eagles have faced a tougher schedule, with losses to power conference opponents South Carolina and Marquette, but also own a decisive win over a common foe, Queens (N.C.). Winthrop defeated Queens 75-69 on Nov. 15, while UNC Wilmington beat them 69-59 on Nov. 30. This matchup begins a challenging stretch for both teams. Following Sunday’s game, Winthrop faces a daunting three-game road trip at Tennessee, Charlotte and Virginia. UNC Wilmington’s next outing is at North Carolina on Dec. 17. Tipoff is set for Sunday afternoon. The Eagles will rely on their high-scoring offense and home-court advantage, while the Seahawks aim to leverage their interior presence and tighten their defense to secure a road victory.
