News Online Preview of 2012-13 Seahawks
WILMINGTON, North
Carolina - The Seahawks open their 2012-13 season this weekend at the
Tar Heel Intercollegiate on Sept. 15-16. UNCW enters its fifth season under
the direction of Head Coach Matt Clark as two-time defending Colonial Athletic
Association champions.
UNCW faces a tough tournament
field, one that's dotted with ACC opposition and programs that reached the NCAA
tournament last spring. East Carolina reached the stroke play portion of the
NCAA Championship before bowing out. Also playing in the NCAA tournament were
Duke, Charlotte, NC State and Notre Dame.
The Seahawks return five
starts from last year's edition and add talented newcomer Jens Geweke (GUH vek
uh) to the mix. Geweke finished second in the qualifier and will mak his collegiate
debut this weekend. Junior Payne McLeod will play in the number one position
followed by Geweke, Thomas Bass, Ryan Nagy and Stefan Brewer, in that order.
Bass enters his final season
with the Seahawks as the Colonial Athletic Association's reigning Player of
the Year. Bass finished fourth at the CAA Championships.
Brewer will look to return
to his freshman form from 2009-10 when he was named the CAA Rookie of the Year.
After red-shirting the following season, he struggled through his sophomore
season, but made gains during the summer when he qualified for the US Amateur
Open in Cherry Hill, Colorado.
