Sophomore midfielder Etienne Boulanger leads the Seahawks with nine points on four goals and one assist.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to play UNC Wilmington Tuesday night,” Coastal head coach Shaun Docking said. “Coach (Aidan) Heaney has done a great job with the program and we feel it will be another great game for us as we prepare for conference play.”
