NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Dougherty gets C-USA special teams honor
East Carolina senior punter Ryan
Dougherty was named Conference USA special teams player of the week for his
play last Saturday in the Pirates' 31-21 win over Virginia, according to a
release from the ECU athletic media relations department.
Fueled by a career-best 72-yarder in
the first quarter, the Orlando, FL, native averaged a season-high 55.7 yards
per punt. In the fourth quarter he scored the Pirates final touchdown of the
game as the holder on a fake field goal attempt from two yards out, marking
the second time in his career that he has rushed for a touchdown.
A Ray Guy Watch List nominee, Dougherty
booted the seventh-longest punt in ECU history and longest since 2002. For
his career, he now has 203 punts for 8,657-yards, which ranks third all-time
in C-USA.
In addition to his stellar punting
duties, he had six kickoffs for 369 yards (61.5 yard per kick), including a
pair of touchbacks.
Dougherty joined Tulane quarterback
Lester Ricard, the offensive player of the week, and UAB linebacker Joe
Henderson, the defensive player of the week, as this week's C-USA honorees.
Pirate promotions abound for Tulsa game

home games against Memphis, West Virginia and Virginia, the East Carolina
athletic department has announced three additional promotions to coincide

program encourages adults to take children to collegiate athletic
contests.
