NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Next Day's Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
ECU
hoops scrimmages set for Homecoming
The public will get its first look at
the East Carolina men's and women's basketball teams during Homecoming
weekend.
The teams will play their annual
Purple-Gold intra-squad scrimmage games on Saturday, Oct. 21, inside
Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum prior to the homecoming football game
against Southern Methodist. There is no admission charge and fans are
encouraged to arrive early to support the basketball Pirates, according to
an ECU athletic media relations release.
The men's game will begin at noon,
followed by the women's game at 1 p.m. There will be an autograph and photo
session with players and coaches from both teams between games. The
autograph and photo session is scheduled to begin at approximately 12:45
p.m.
The Purple-Gold games will be the only
chance Pirate fans have to get a sneak peek at this year's teams prior to
the start of the regular season.
The men's scrimmage will showcase a
team that returns four lettermen and welcomes a host of newcomers. The
Pirates return to the court this season with a young and inexperienced, but
talented, team that is highlighted by the return of its starting backcourt.
Junior Jeremy Ingram is the Pirates'
top returning scorer after averaging 10.3 points a year ago. Sophomore Sam
Hinnant, one of only two players to start all 28 games last season, is
coming off an All-Conference USA Freshman Team season with the third highest
scoring average among all C-USA freshmen (10.2 ppg). Hinnant, Ingram and
senior Courtney Captain each ranked among the league leaders in three-point
field goals made per game last season.
Coach Ricky Stokes' club welcomes 10
newcomers to the roster, including two junior college transfers. Tallahassee
Community College guard and Charlotte native Cory Farmer will be in the
backcourt this season along with College of Southern Idaho guard Darrell
Jenkins. True freshmen Gabe Blair and John Fields will help anchor the
frontcourt.
The Lady Pirates are coming off a
17-win season and begin their fifth season under head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener.
Senior Cherie Mills, the team's leading scorer a year ago, will be
accompanied by Jasmine Young, last season's Conference USA Co-Freshman of
the Year. Both players were named second-team all-conference in 2005-06.
Camels stun No. 3 UNC-Chapel
Hill in soccer
A goal in the 75th minute provided the
only score as Campbell defeated third-ranked North Carolina 1-0 in men's
soccer on Tuesday night at the Eakes Athletic Complex in Buies Creek,
according to a Campbell athletic media relations release.
Playing in front of the largest home
crowd (1,481) in at least 17 years, Campbell ran its home record to a
perfect 6-0-0 this season behind freshman keeper Bryce Kenny, who made nine
saves in the first start of his career.
The outcome matched the highest-ranked
opponent to fall to the Camels since the program joined the Division I ranks
in 1977. CU knocked off the then third-ranked Tar Heels on Sept. 7, 1988, in
Buies Creek.
The Camels own a 3-2-0 record against
nationally-ranked teams over the last two seasons.
ECU
picked 7th in C-USA women's hoops
For the second consecutive year, Rice
has been picked as the preseason favorite to win the Conference
USA women’s basketball regular season title. The poll was voted upon by the
league’s 12 head coaches and released by the league office Wednesday.
The Owls tallied 142 points and earned
10 first-place votes, while Tulsa and Southern Methodist tied for second
with 113 points each. Tulsa received one first-place vote, as did Houston,
which came in fourth with 99 points.
Rice returns a solid 82.9 percent of
its scoring and 79.0 percent of its rebounding from a team that finished
second in the league (11-5 and 18-14 overall) and at the conference
tournament a year ago. The Owls welcome back four starters and 11
letterwinners, including preseason all-conference pick Lauren Neeves.
Second-year head coach Greg Williams
guided his alma mater to the 2006 WNIT after the team won 12 of its last 15
games. Rice has participated in postseason play seven of the last nine
years, including two NCAA Tournament appearances.
C-USA Preseason Player of the Year
accolades go to Tulsa ’s Jillian Robbins. After averaging 17.9 points and
12.8 rebounds per game, Robbins was named a 2006 Kodak/WBCA honorable
mention All-American as well as C-USA Player of
the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
The 2006-07 preseason all-conference
team is identical to the 2006 C-USA All-Conference first team: Jillian
Robbins of Tulsa, Lauren Neaves of Rice, Tye Jackson of Houston, Janielle
Dodds of SMU and Carmen Guzman of UAB.
