Wilmington, NC – In their inaugural season, the CFCC Women's Basketball Team emerged victorious in their first conference game against Wake Technical Community College, by a score of 49-45.
The Lady Sea Devils outscored the Eagles 22-17 in the first half, but Wake Tech gave them a run late in the second half, outscoring CFCC by a one.
