NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Pirates
volleyball on record streak
Kelley Wernert and Jaime Bevan combined
for 37 kills as the East Carolina volleyball team defeated Rice 3-2 on
Friday night at Minges Coliseum.
The Pirates improved to 15-9 on the
season and 6-4 in Conference USA play, while Rice falls to 11-13 overall and
4-6 in the league.
The win was the fifth straight in C-USA
for the Pirates, the longest conference winning streak in program history.
It was the second time in as many years
that ECU and Rice played a five-game match as the Pirates took a 3-2
decision in Houston last season.
White completed 9 of 14 passes for 156
yards and a touchdown and ran 15 times for 102 yards and a score.
Mountaineers handle Huskies,
stay unbeaten
West Virginia stayed
unbeaten with a 37-11 win at Connecticut on Friday night,
according to a report on the Mountaineers' athletic website.
West Virginia quarterback Patrick White
ran for a 45-yard touchdown and threw a 52-yard TD pass to Rayshawn Bolden.
Steve Slaton iced the game with a 56-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to
help the Mountaineers boost their record to 7-0, 2-0. It was WVU’s 14th
straight regular season victory eclipsing the school record of 13 straight
wins established by the 1952-53 teams.
The Mountaineers have also won nine
straight Big East contests dating back to 2004.
"The pleasing part tonight was even
though we messed around the first couple of drives there was no panic on the
sidelines and our guys knew what they had to do next," said WVU coach Rich
Rodriguez.
Georgia golfer gets call to play in South Africa
University of Georgia golfer Chris Kirk
received a phone call from the U.S. Golf Association, according to an
Atlanta Journal-Constitution report. The message: Get your clubs cleaned and
your passport ready. You're going to South Africa.
Kirk, the first alternate for the World
Amateur team, moved into the three-man starting rotation when Wake Forest's
Webb Simpson broke a bone in his hand and was told he couldn't play again
until Dec. 1.
Kirk will join UNLV's Jonathan Moore
and longtime amateur Trip Kuehne for the competition Oct. 26-29 in
Stellenbosch, South Africa.
"It's been a couple days of madness
trying to pull everything together, from the travel to the uniform to
working things out with the school," said Kirk, who flew out on Friday
morning.
