Good morning. Happy National Electronic Greeting Day! Crazy to think that one day we couldn’t say hi through an email or text, and now we do it every day. So with that… hey!

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏐 First Team honors for Alderete
🏟️ Max out Minges!
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

🔼 Match Maker. You couldn’t miss Angeles Alderete’s name at a volleyball match because she was always making skilled plays. Because of this, the sophomore outside hitter was selected to the 2023 All-American Athletic Conference Volleyball First Team. She led ECU with 348 kills and placed second with 341 digs. She placed eighth in the league for kills per set when looking only at conference matches.

🏐 Read more about Alderete and the award here.

🔼 Come on Out! Here’s something that doesn’t happen very often. There will be seven home games inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum over this next week. It all starts tonight with the women’s basketball game against Hampton. We want the stands to be filled for every game because what is better than cheering on your Pirates? Not to mention, there are fun themes for each game.

🏟️ Check out the game times and themes here.

All About Her. Angeles Alderete has done so much for the team and has seen the awards to prove it. She became the second player in program history to earn a specific AAC award last year.
