NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day's Nuggets...
Next Day's Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Cavs blast
Duke 37-0 in Durham
Virginia spoiled Duke’s 2006 edition of
Homecoming by defeating the Blue Devils, 37-0, at Wallace Wade Stadium on
Saturday afternoon, according to a release on the Duke athletics website.
Virginia got on the scoreboard just over
three minutes into the first quarter when wide receiver Emmanuel Byers
tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to fellow wideout Fontel Mines. The drive
was set up by a 22-yard punt return by Mike Brown.
After stopping Duke on fourth down and one
yard to go at the Blue Devils’ 29 yard line, the Cavaliers went ahead 10-0
on a 31-yard field goal by Chris Gould.
A blocked punt by Virginia’s Josh Zidenberg
led to a one-yard rushing touchdown by Jason Snelling with 6:07 remaining in
the opening period.
Just prior to halftime, the Cavaliers took
advantage of Duke’s third turnover when defensive end Jeffrey Fitzgerald
scooped up a fumble and darted 23 yards for a touchdown, sending the teams
to intermission with a 24-0 Virginia lead.
Fitzgerald then intercepted a Duke pass
deep in Blue Devil territory on the final play of the third quarter, setting
up a 12-yard scoring strike from quarterback Jameel Sewell to tight end Tom
Santi.
Mikell Simpson’s two-yard touchdown run
with 28 seconds left accounted for the final margin.
Next up for the Cavaliers is a trip to
Greenville to play East Carolina at 6 p.m. this coming Saturday.
Vols
deal Memphis a resounding defeat
Erik Ainge came out hot and didn’t cool
down Saturday in passing for 324 yards and four touchdowns in Tennessee’s
41-7 rout of Memphis at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, according to a
Nashville Tennessean report.
The Vols (4-1) have now won 20 of the 21
games in the series, and unlike several of the recent meetings, this one was
never close.
Ainge threw two of his touchdown passes to
Jayson Swain, one to Robert Meachem and his final one to Bret Smith.
Redshirt freshman tailback LaMarcus Coker
rushed for 125 yards on 26 carries in his first career start. It was the
second straight 100-yard rushing game for the former Antioch High star.
The Vols played reserves most of the way in
the fourth quarter, and redshirt freshman quarterback Jonathan Crompton led
a scoring drive.
Memphis (1-3) didn’t have any success
against the Tennessee defense, which had allowed just 82 total yards and
three first downs until the Tigers recovered a Bo Hardegree fumble deep in
Tennessee territory late in the game. That fumble set up the Tigers’ only
touchdown.
Pirate
women's cross country wins meet
The East Carolina women's cross country
team finished first at a meet hosted by ECU on Saturday at Lake Kristi. The
first-place finish was the highest finish for the Lady Pirates since Oct. 4,
2004, spanning 20 events.
Nicole Briggs led the way for the women for
the fourth consecutive week with a time of 18:54. Michele Milner won for the
women, just eight seconds ahead of Briggs. Five of the top-ten runners on
the women's side were from East Carolina, according to an ECU athletic media
relations release.
The men's team finished in third-place and
has been steadily improving throughout the course of the season. Stephen
Tausend was the highest men's finisher, finishing in fifth place and a time
of 26:46. Will Collins finished tenth (27:24) and John Loehr finished 12th
(27:30). The men's team had five runners in the top-20.
"The girls have been working really hard
and I think after this win their confidence and enthusiasm is soaring," said
head coach Curt Kraft. "The men ran the best they have all season and did
very well running together as a group."
