Feb. 12, 2017, at Drexel Drexel 76, UNCW 51 THE OPENING TIP UNCW completes its brief two-game weekend road swing on Sunday afternoon when the Seahawks travel to Philadelphia for a Colonial Athletic Association clash against Drexel. Opening tip-off between the Seahawks and the Dragons is slated for 2 p.m. inside the Daskalakis Athletic Center, which is the site of the 2018 CAA Championship. The game will be broadcast on CAA.tv and can be seen via the Seahawk Digital Network at UNCWSports.com/SDN. A LOOK BACK UNCW and Drexel had opposite results in their most recent outings earlier this week. The Seahawks, who are still aiming to secure their first CAA victory of the season, dropped a tough decision at Towson on Friday night for their fifth consecutive defeat. Drexel, meanwhile, has been idle since Tuesday night when the Dragons outlasted William & Mary to earn a victory inside Kaplan Arena in Williamsburg. The win was the Dragons fifth in the last six games. UNCW VS. DREXEL UNCW and Drexel face each other on Sunday for the 29th time in a series that dates back to the season when the Dragons joined the CAA along with Towson, Delaware and Hofstra. The Dragons hold a commanding 20-8 advantage over the Seahawks in the series and have won 11 straight contests. UNCW s last victory in the series came on Mar. 11, 2011, with a triumph over Drexel in the CAA Tournament at Show Place Arena. Playing in Philadelphia has not been kind to the Seahawks, who have won just twice in 13 all-time visits to the Daskalakis Athletic Center. Their last victory in Philadelphia came on Feb. 28, 2010, with a result.

UNCW s last win in a game played on Jan. 14 came in 1985 with a victory at William & Mary. UNCW-TOWSON REWIND Senior guard Madison Raque and sophomore guard Lacey Suggs combined to score 50 points, but a free throw with three seconds remaining propelled Towson past UNCW for a victory inside SECU Arena on Friday night. The Seahawks held a lead on a pair of Raque free throws with 1:54 left in regulation before Towson redshirt senior guard Raine Bankston tied the game with a lay-up with 1:08 left. The Tigers took the lead for good with three seconds left when sophomore forward Nukiya Mayo sank one of two free throws for a edge. Raque led the Seahawks with a career-high 29 points, including 16 in the second half, while Suggs posted her fifth 20-point game of the year with a 21-point effort. Mayo paced the Tigers with her fourth double-double in the last five games after setting career highs with 27 points and 17 rebounds. RAQUE S NIGHT TO REMEMBER Senior guard Madison Raque led UNCW in Friday s loss against Towson by scoring a career-high 29 points after coming off the bench for the second straight game. Raque, who recorded the fourth 20-point game of her career, eclipsed her previous high of 28 points, which was set against Catawba last year. The Louisville, Ky., product finished the night making 10-of- 19 shots from the floor, including a 6-for-12 performance from three-point range. She scored 12 of her points in the fourth quarter and added 10 more points in the second frame. TWO OF A KIND UNCW had two players score at least 20 points in the same game for the first time in three seasons on Friday night when senior guard Madison Raque and sophomore guard Lacey Suggs combined to accomplished the feat. Raque scored a career-high 29 points while Suggs added 21 points in her second straight start. The last time UNCW had two players reach the 20-point mark in the same game was on Mar. 1, 2015, at the College of Charleston when Kelva Atkins (23) and Brie Mobley (20) led the Seahawks to a win over the Cougars.

She is going to be a tremendous player for us when she leaves this program. She can play inside or outside and is very gifted and athletic.

She can make a ton of mistakes, but it doesn t matter because she plays so hard. She gets on the floor, goes after rebounds and is always trying to be the first player down the floor on a sprint. She is super competitive and I love how she attacks the basket. We want to be an attacking team and she is someone who can help us do that.

14 TIMBER TATE Guard 5-11 Sophomore Thomasville, N.C./Forest Trail Academy Coach Barefoot Says: Timber is someone who we are going on for scoring the basketball. We have had a lot of conversations and she is similar to GiGi Smith with a strong body. She has the ability to knock down the three-point shot and has the ability to attack the basket. She settles too much for the jump shot and that is something we are trying to work on with her. When she starts doing that, it s going to make our team better. She is going to be a player that is versatile for us. Points 20, vs. N.C. Central (12/3/17) FGM 7, vs. N.C. Central (12/3/17) FGA 15, at Coastal Carolina (11/18/17) 3-Pt FGM 6, vs. N.C.

She is very comfortable on the floor and playing free and loose. She is so good at catching and shooting the basketball while also posting up against smaller guards. She is a great passer and can rebound the ball. Jenny is going to fit our system well and she is a tremendous leader for us.

Coach Barefoot Says: We are working on footwork and her shot, but in watching film on Diamond, she is very athletic and long. She is a great rebounding guard and we will need her to help us when conference play starts.

18 REBEKAH BANKS Center 6-1 Senior Durham, N.C./Cary Academy Coach Barefoot Says: Rebekah is a strong rebounder and someone who understands that it s not always the first shot that s important, but it s the second or third shot and that is what will help us stay in games this year. She led the team in rebounding last year and I could easily see her averaging 10 rebounds per game and leading the CAA. One of her biggest strengths is setting screens and that will help our scorers get open. Her ability to rebound and screen is going to help us this year.

19 GRACE SACCO Guard 5-5 Freshman Ocean City, N.J./Ocean City Coach Barefoot Says: Grace is as tough as nails. She is getting better every day and is someone you can trust to go out there and play a few minutes. She doesn t let anything rattle her and she is very tough. She came from a winning program that went to the state finals. Everyone on the team loves her and she is scrappy. She does the little things really well and that helps your team not miss a beat. She is someone who is fun to coach and I can see her getting better during the year.

20 SIERRA CLAYBORN Guard 5-8 Senior Chicago, Ill./Evanston Township (State Fair C.C.) Coach Barefoot Says: I think Sierra is getting better and what you can depend on her for is defense. She is great at on-ball defense and is very scrappy. She is a left-handed shooter who has relied on the jump shot in the past, but we need her to be able to attack the basket in addition to hitting those jumpers.
