NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Army
six wins away from San Diego trip
The Poinsettia Bowl has reached an agreement with
Army that guarantees the Black Knights a berth to the postseason bowl game
if Army is bowl eligible this fall, according to a release on the U.S.
Military Academy's athletic website.
The Poinsettia Bowl will kick off the bowl season on
Dec. 19 at Qualcomm Stadium, pitting a representative from the Mountain West
Conference against an at-large opponent. Army would fill that at-large spot
should the Black Knights qualify for postseason play.
An Army appearance would mark the second time in the
two-year history of the bowl game that a service academy would participate
in the game. Navy defeated Colorado State 51-30 in front of 36,842 fans
during the inaugural contest last December.
East Carolina opens its season at Navy on Saturday
at 5:30 p.m.
Rivers will get starting assignment for Chargers
Two years on the bench behind Drew Brees gave Philip
Rivers a chance to watch, listen, learn and test his patience, according to
a USA Today report.
Rivers will be moving into a starting role for the
Chargers and said he plans to play with the emotion that characterized his
college career at N.C. State.
While with the Wolfpack, Rivers set an NCAA record
with 51 consecutive starts at quarterback.
With Campbell in goal, ECU shuts out Camels
Tara Shaw, Jillian Moore, and Kelly Lightfoot all
netted goals in a 5-0 East Carolina women's soccer win at Campbell on
Monday.
East Carolina (1-1) racked up 16 shots, 13 of which
were on goal, according to an account on
ecupirates.com.
Amber Campbell got her second straight start and did
not allow a goal in her 77:27 as the goalkeeper. Freshman Jen Kurowicki got
her first experience in a collegiate game, closing out the final 12:33 to
complete the shutout.
ECU will finish up its road trip on Friday at 7 p.m.
at Western Carolina.
The Pirates' first home game is Sunday at 1 p.m.
against Charlotte.
