Pirates on mini-streak
From staff and
electronic reports
Senior Courtney Captain
scored 16 points to help East Carolina defeat N.C. Central 68-47 Sunday
afternoon, capping off a two-win day for ECU basketball in Williams
Arena at Minges Coliseum.
Junior Darrell Jenkins
added 11 points and freshman John Fields scored 10 and had 5 blocked
shots as the Pirates put together their first three-game winning streak
since the 2003-04 season.
Since an overtime loss at
Richmond on Nov. 14, ECU (4-1) had defeated UNC-Greensboro and Limestone
heading into its contest with the Eagles (2-1).
Senior Drew Johnson's 16
points led N.C. Central, whose only other double figure scorer was
senior Jason Hervey with 13 points.
The Pirates out-shot the
Eagles from the floor 43.0 percent to 35.8 percent and dominated in
three-point accuracy, connecting on 40.0 percent from long range to
NCCU's 7.1 percent.
Led by freshman Gabe
Blair's 7 boards, ECU out-rebounded the Eagles 38-33.
The win polished off a
perfect afternoon for East Carolina in a rare home hoops double header.
Paced by Cherie Mills’ season-high 23 points, the Lady Pirates cruised
to a 78-41 win over Florida A&M in a game earlier in the afternoon.
The East Carolina men will
not return to action until Saturday, when it visits Liberty in a matchup
that will tip off at 7 p.m. On that same day, the ECU women will host
North Dakota State 3 p.m. in the first round of the Lady Pirate
Invitational. The event's other participants, Fairfield and Florida
State, will play 1 p.m.
