Ex-Gardner Webb PG Siddle repeats Rupp Arena upset as UNCW coach

The UNCW men's soccer team and the Olivia Knighton Foundation have announced the creation of the Oliiva Knighton Endowed Scholarship to honor the late daughter of iconic UNCW goalkeeper Brad Knighton '19 and his wife Britney Eldridge-Knighton '07.

Women's Soccer Signs Kansas State Transfer


The UNCW women's soccer team has added goalkeeper Morgan Hobbs to the program ahead of the 2024 campaign. Hobbs, a native of El Cajon, Calif., spent the previous two seasons at Kansas State. "We are excited to add Morgan to the team. She has two years of experience in the BIG 12 and that should help her transition into the CAA," said UNCW Head Coach Chris Neal. She has a great presence and is very comfortable with both feet in possession. She grew up in SoCal, so I think she will feel right at home here in the Hawk's Nest."

Hobbs will bolster a goalkeeping unit following the graduation of standout netminder Hanna Wise. A product of Santana High School, Hobbs was the starting goalkeeper for the Sultans as they qualified for the 2020-21 California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Tournament qualifying squad. She recorded nine shutouts and registered a goals against average of less than one. The Wildcats transfer, Hobbs, played for the San Diego Surf in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL). She was named to the 2021 ECNL National Selection game. Hobbs made her NCAA debut last season when she played 30 minutes and recorded a save vs. Oral Roberts.

Isley, Levy Partake in Patriot All-America


UNCW's Walker Isley and Victoria competed among the nation's top collegiate golfers last weekend at the 2023 Patriot All-America Invitational at the Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park, Ariz. Isley made his second straight appearance at the tournament while Levy debuted at the event that honored military heroes. The three-round, 54-hole event was staged by the combined efforts of the Arizona Golf Association, the Golf Coaches Association of America and the West Valley Mavericks in conjunction with the tournament's beneficiary, the Folds of Honor Foundation. Isley and Levy, along with the 220 other golfers, had the opportunity to visit Luke Air Force Base, the training center for the nation's F-16 and F-35 fighter pilots. They met with Brigadier General Jason M. Rueschhoff, fighter pilots, and crew, and toured the base. Levy sponsored Staff Sergeant Donald C. May, Jr., a 31-year-old member of the United States Marine Corps, who was killed in action in March 2003. Isley, meanwhile, represented Police Officer Bryan J. Durman, who was killed in a hit-and-run in April 2010. Before joining the police force, Durman was a staff sergeant in the United States Air Force and served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
