Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Wilmington's current standing reflects a shaky foundation with an overall record early in the season that, while unblemished, lacks strength of schedule. Victories over Ga Southern are promising, but they need a significant signature win to bolster their resume. The upcoming matchup against Kansas presents an excellent opportunity to make a statement, yet it also poses a risk of further dampening their profile if they struggle. Additionally, games against tough foes like Colgate and Campbell should be on their radar; winning those could help solidify their standing in the Coastal Conference. However, facing multiple lower-ranked opponents carries the risk of stalling momentum if they fail to leverage these opportunities effectively.
