Good morning. Here are your plans for tonight: ECU soccer game at 7 p.m. And this one, you really can not miss. It’s the last home game of the season, and it’s Senior Day. Don’t let head coach Gary Higgins down.

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

⛳️ Fourth place finish
🏈 Mike Houston’s press conference
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

🔼 Four For All. The men’s golf team finished up its fall season with a fourth-place finish in the ODU/OBX Intercollegiate. Carter Busse finished in sixth place, and Lucas Augustsson and Philip Linberg Bondestad finished tied for seventh. Overall, the team shot 871 (+19).

🔼 Planning Ahead. ECU football is working hard to get ready for its match-up against UTSA this weekend. Head coach Mike Houston said his team is very motivated to compete and get back to a winning track. He believes the team is strong defensively and needs to be more consistent offensively. The game is at an indoor stadium on Saturday and Houston already told the players that communication is going to be key because of how loud it will be.

🎙️ Here is a summary of Houston’s press conference.

We like our Brew hot n’ fresh. But we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

🏴‍☠️ Extra Food. As you make your way out to the swim and dive meet on Saturday, make sure to bring a couple of nonperishable food items to donate to the Food Bank of central and eastern North Carolina. If you are a student-athlete who brings in food, you will earn one hour of community service.

🏴‍☠️ On the Board. Frida Zuniga Guzman competed at the women’s diving Pan American Games and finished in ninth place in the 3m. She had a final score of 244.70 to add to Team Mexico’s score.
