🏃 Cross country women dominate
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Double Down. Two days, two matches, two wins. ECU took down Temple 3-2 and 3-0 this past weekend to put them at a 7-2 conference standing. Let’s start with match one. The Pirates trailed two sets to none and came back to win three in a row. Lara Uyar had a rare libero double-double with a career-high 10 assists and a match-high 20 digs.

In match two, the Pirates were on a roll with a three-set shutout. Brittany Wood had a season-high 12 kills. The team totaled 43 kills, 8 aces, 53 digs and 10 blocks.

🔼 Battle Won. The Pirates held the annual Pirate Invitational, and they took control of the course and pulled out a first-place win. The women placed first, and Alyssa Zack led the team with a fifth-place finish on a 21:21.7 time in the 6k. The men took fourth place, and Alex Sawyer led the group with his seventh-place 24:00.3 time in the 8k.

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…

🏴‍☠️ Dive In. It was just a diving meet for the women’s swim and dive team last weekend, and ECU showed up and swept the board. Jecza Lopez took first place in the 1-meter and 3-meter events, and Caitlin Irvine-Smith placed second in both events. Lopez had scores of 290.78 and 317.70. Irvine-Smith had scores of 262.35 and 259.35.

🏴‍☠️ Timely Tie. ECU soccer looked like it was going to take a dub against Tulsa, then was down by one, but Annabelle Abbott saved the Pirates and tied the game for a final score of 2-2. There was no score in the first half, and Juliana Viera scored the first goal of the match for the Pirates in the second half.
