WILMINGTON, N.C. (Interstat) — UNC Wilmington survived a furious fourth-quarter rally by Northeastern to secure a 69-67 victory in a Colonial Athletic Association women’s basketball game Friday at Trask Coliseum.

The Seahawks built a 61-49 lead after three quarters, powered by 21 points in the third, but managed only eight points in the final period. The Huskies clawed back with an 18-8 fourth-quarter run, capped by Justice Tramble’s layup with 49 seconds left, but could not complete the comeback.

Tramble led Northeastern with 18 points. UNC Wilmington’s Paige Smith scored a game-high 15 points, while Rori Cox added 11. Attendance was 824.

With the win, UNC Wilmington improved to 5-7 overall. Northeastern dropped to 4-7.
