📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Double Ones. The Pirates had their third tie game of the season with a final score of 1-1 against UAB. The women played a strong match with twelve shots and seven shots on goal, while UAB only had six shots and three shots on goal. Sydney Schnell made ECU’s goal in the last 16 minutes of the game. Thinking this could be the winning goal, UAB didn’t allow it to be when they scored in the last four minutes.

🔼 Bonjour. J'adore le basket. AKA, I love basketball. Evan Montanari wants to learn French so he can know what the other French-speaking athletes on the team are saying. He is also not a barbecue sauce guy. But has he ever had barbecue-tossed chicken fingers? How could you pass those up?! But props to him for being a “funny, goofy guy” and using the 😂 emoji.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Bring ‘em Out. At this season’s home opener, we had a lot of fans who showed up even when the weather was not the best. We might get some rain this weekend, but we still expect the same fanbase to show up.

Today’s question—how many people were in attendance at the home opener?

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…

🏴‍☠️ Up Above. Is it a bird? Superman? Nope, it’s a C-17! The ROTC program is celebrating its 75th anniversary by doing a flyover at this weekend’s football game. At the end of the National Anthem, which is scheduled for 5:51 p.m., look up in the sky.

🏴‍☠️ Golden Hour. The field is painted gold, but are you? Get all of your gold gear ready for tomorrow’s game against Gardner-Webb at 6 p.m. If you aren’t looking like the Oscar trophy, you’re doing it wrong.
