HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) C.J. Bryce scored 24 points and Denzel Ingram sank the winning 3-pointer to lift UNC-Wilmington into sole possession of first place in the Colonial Athletic Association with a 70-67 comeback win over Hofstra on Thursday night.

Trailing by 20 in the first half, Wilmington (17-5, 9-2) rallied after the beak and took its first lead of the game with a 13-2 run fueled by Bryce and Ingram to make it 65-62 with 2:34 left.

Hofstra (16-7, 8-3) tied it at 67 on Juan'ya Green's 3-pointer with 20 seconds remaining, but then Ingram hit his fourth trey of the game to win it. Hofstra's Ameen Tanksley missed a 3 just ahead of the buzzer.

Ingram finished with 18 points, Chris Flemmings added 13 and Craig Ponder had 11 for the Seahawks.
