games against teams that played in the NCAA tournament. The Seahawks will play
a total of 14 games against 2012 NCAA participants including College of
Charleston, San Diego, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, NC State and UNC Chapel
Hill.
The Seahawks open the season with 14 their first 16 games at
Brooks Field.
In Colonial Athletic Association play, the Seahawks open at
James Madison on March 15 and host Georgia State the following week on March 22
to open the home conference slate. In a rematch of the 2012 CAA Championship,
UNCW hosts Delaware on Apr. 12-14.
Kent State and Stony Brook made magical runs to Omaha by
winning the Gary and Coral Cables Regionals, respectively. KSU then bounced
Oregon in three games in Eugene, Ore., while USB eliminated Louisiana State,
also in three games, in Baton Rouge. NC State, meanwhile, eliminated the
Seahawks in the Raleigh Regional before ending Vanderbilt's season. The
Wolfpack was then knocked out in the Gainesville Super Regional by Florida.

Charleston Southern and VCU in non-conference games.
