WILMINGTON, North Carolina - UNCW and Head Coach Aidan Heaney open their home schedule this Friday when they host UCF in the Courtyard by Marriott/UNCW Classic at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.

Joining UCF and UNCW in the classic are Long Island and Winthrop. Two games are set for Friday and two more on Sunday.

The Seahawks enter the weekend with a record of 1-1 after splitting a pair of matches to open the season at the WVU Classic in Morgantown, W. Va., last weekend. UNCW knocked off a solid Binghamton side, 1-0, before bowing to host West Virginia, 3-2, in double overtime. The loss placed the Seahawks third in the tournament while seniors Indy Smith and Daniel Roberts were named to the all-tournament team.

In the opener, senior Nassim Berhouni scored the game's lone goal when he headed home a free kick by junior Shaun Utterson in the 15th minute. Senior Brock Duckworth would secure his 19th career shutout with a four-save effort.

In the tournament finale, both sides exchanged leads into the second half when Roberts drew the Seahawks even with a goal on a free kick in the 78th minute. WVU, though, would notch the game-winner 1:45 into the second overtime.

UCF brings a potent offense into Friday's test for the Seahawks. The Golden Knights have scored nine goals on the season, coming in white-washings of Jacksonville (5-0) and Florida Atlantic (4-0). Leading the scoring parade is Nicholas Keown-Robson with eight points on three goals and a pair of assists. Two of those goals came on penalty kicks.

Classic Schedule:
Friday: Long Island vs. Winthrop, 5 p.m.; UCF at UNCW, 7:30 p.m.
Sunday: Long Island vs. UCF, 1 p.m.; Winthrop at UNCW, 3:30 p.m.
