East Carolina outscored upset-minded St. Andrews 6-1 in the final minute to pull out a 74-69 victory Saturday night in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.

With the score knotted at 68, junior guard Brock Young began the Pirates' winning flurry with a layup at the 57-second mark.

A jumper by junior guard Jontae Sherrod with 16 seconds remaining and a pair of free throws by junior forward Jamar Abrams with 4 seconds left were sandwiched a around a single free throw by St. Andrews junior center Marcus Connor to account for the final margin.

Sherrod scored 17 points, sophomore forward Darrius Morrow had 15 and Young and Abrams added 14 apiece to lead the Pirates (5-6). Abrams was the game's top rebounder with 10.

Junior forward Marvin Jackson's 18 points led St. Andrews (5-4). Sophomore guard Kurt Fenderbosch scored 15 and sophomore guards Aaron Christian and Antonio Moffitt each scored 10 for the Division II Knights.

The teams were tied on nine occasions, including a halftime score of 28-28.

East Carolina can improve its record to .500 when it returns to action Tuesday in a home game against George Washington. The Colonials, of the Atlantic 10 Conference, are 9-2.
