WILMINGTON, N.C. - Senior forward Keith Shevlin scored twice as five different Seahawks scored goals in UNC Wilmington's 6-3 win over visiting UNC Asheville Sunday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium. It was the most goals in a game for a Seahawk squad since the 1999 season.

UNCW improves to 5-1-0 with its fourth straight win, while the Bulldogs move to 0-2-1. The Seahawk continue non-conference play Sept. 21 at South Carolina with a 7 p.m. kickoff. UNCA will visit Appalachian State the same day for a 4 p.m. start.

The Seahawks built a 4-0 halftime lead as junior defender Russell Bienias opened the scoring, just 1:23 into the match, heading home a corner kick by senior midfielder Will Clark. A goal by senior midfielder Adam Currey pushed the lead to 2-0 at the 5:04 mark.

Senior forward Sam Leger extended the lead to 3-0, at 19:35, with his sixth goal of the season setting a new career-high.

Shevlin made it 4-0 in the 31st minute after knocking home a loose ball. Early in the second half he headed in his second goal of the match to make it 5-0 Seahawks.

Freshman forward Scott Szymanski notched his third goal of the season to cut UNCA's deficit to 5-1. Syzmanski received a pass from junior defender Chris Burn and chipped in the goal from 10 yards out.

UNCW's final goal of the afternoon came at 63:14 as junior forward Ricky Henderson tucked a shot just inside the left post.

The Bulldogs moved to within three, 6-3, following goals by freshmen midfielders Ryan Haupt, at 74:49, and Aaron Harcz, at 79:22. Haupt scored off a corner kick cross by sophomore forward Daniel Bandoly while Harcz's was unassisted.
