NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff
and electronic reports
Pirates add Lugo to 2008 baseball class
Rigoberto Lugo from the Puerto Rico
Baseball Academy has signed a national letter-of-intent to play baseball
at East Carolina in 2008, Pirates baseball coach Billy Godwin has
announced.
A native of Caguas, Puerto Rico, and
the first-ever Pirate signee from the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, Lugo
will join Derrick Conatser, Cameron Freeman, Matt Hancock, Dustin
Harrington, Daniel Holder, Matt Laney, Seth Maness, Brad Mincey, Sthil
Sowers and Trent Whitehead as members of the 2008 signing class.
"We are excited about the signing
Rigoberto Lugo," said Godwin. "He is a power throwing right-handed pitcher
with a hard, late breaking ball that has also been clocked at 92 mph. Lugo
is a tremendous athlete who has also shown the ability to play in the
outfield and will be a great fit for our program."
The Pirates, who begin spring practice
on Jan. 10, 2007, will host Liberty in the season opener on Feb. 9 on Lewis
Field at Clark-LeClair Stadium at 3 p.m.

VCU
prevails over ECU in women's hoops
A season-high 25 points
from Jasmine Young was not enough against Virginia Commonwealth
on Friday night, as the Rams held off a late run by the East
Carolina women's basketball team to defeat the Lady Pirates,
78-73.
The victory improved VCU to 5-0, while
East Carolina fell to 1-4, heading into its first home game.
The Lady Pirates open the home portion
of the 2006-07 season today, hosting Florida A&M in Williams Arena at Minges
Coliseum at 1:00 p.m.
Tulsa gains momentum for postseason trip
The Friday afternoon sun was setting on
Tulsa's 22 seniors, according to a Tulsa World report, but the group's
impact on the Golden Hurricane football program is not over.
While dusk settled on Skelly Stadium
following a 38-3 win over Tulane, Coach Steve Kragthorpe said TU's future
has been brightened by these players playing their final home game.
"They have put Tulsa football back on
the map," Kragthorpe said on a stadium PA system. "They've won 29 games in
four years. They've won 17 games in the last two years."
The coach paused for applause before
adding, "We're going to get 18."
An 18th victory would come in a bowl
game. The site could be known by Monday, with the Dec. 23 Armed Forces Bowl
in Fort Worth, TX, or the Dec. 22 New Orleans Bowl being early frontrunners.
