NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Houston clinches C-USA championship berth
Houston has earned a spot
in the second annual Conference USA championship game.
The Cougars' 37-27 win at
Southern Methodist, coupled with Tulsa's 41-38 double-overtime loss to Rice,
clinches at least a share of the West title for Houston. The Cougars have
the advantage in any remaining possible tie-breakers, according to a release
on the C-USA website.
A Houston victory at Memphis
next Saturday would allow the Cougars to host the Dec. 1 championship game
at Robertson Stadium.
East Carolina became
bowl-eligible for the first time since the 2001 season with a 33-20 win over
Marshall. The victory also kept ECU (5-2 C-USA, 6-4) in
first place in the East Division.
Southern Miss (4-2, 6-4) stayed in the divisional hunt with a 31-3 win at
Tulane and became bowl-eligible for the 13th consecutive season.
ECU volleyball slips in
regular season finale
The East Carolina
volleyball squad fell to Marshall 3-0 (30-18, 33-31, 30-26) on
Saturday evening in the final match of the regular season. The
Pirates enter the Conference USA Championships with a 19-11
record, 10-6 in C-USA. Marshall ended the regular season with a
20-10 mark, 12-4 in C-USA.
Kelly Anne Billingy tallied a
match-high 30 kills, hitting .462 on the night, while adding eight digs.
Uche Ndubisi and Stephanie Cahill also recorded double-figure kills, with 12
and 11 respectively. Cahill added 11 digs for the double-double.
Mignon Dubenion led the
Pirates with 11 kills while Kelley Wernert added 10 kills and seven digs.
Setter Heidi Krug tallied 14 assists on the night. Trish Monroe was the
Pirates’ top defender, with 14 digs.
East Carolina will travel to
Houston, TX, for the 2006 C-USA Championships this coming weekend. The
Pirates were to find out Sunday who they will play in the opening round.
Grad rates: Athletes outperform student body
Division I
student-athletes continue to outpace their student-body
counterparts in the classroom according to graduation-rates data
announced at
ncaa.org.
Research from the federal
graduation-rate methodology required through the Student Right-to-Know Act
shows student-athletes in the entering class of 1999 graduated at a rate of
63 percent, two percentage points higher than the student-body rate. Both
percentages are one point higher than the previous year.
Every class since 1986 has
demonstrated that student-athletes have graduated at rates higher than those
of the general student body.
