Hofstra Pride vs. UNC Wilmington Seahawks Prediction

I’m on the Seahawks here. I just like this UNC Wilmington team at home as the Trask Coliseum is one of the tougher places in the CAA to go on the road and win and this is a big game for Wilmington in the race for the CAA regular season title. Hofstra’s coming off of a solid win over Charleston but it can be hard to keep that energy up in back-to-back spots on a quick turnaround and I think UNC Wilmington nips them here. Give me the Seahawks.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: UNC Wilmington -2.5
