Good morning! We’re finding it hard to sit still this morning, and not because of the coffee…Anytime a defending national champion comes to town, there’s a pep in our step.

🔼 Midweek With The Monarchs. Fresh off a three-game sweep of UCF over the weekend, East Carolina baseball plays host to Old Dominion in the Jungle tonight.

The Pirates won in multiple ways over the Knights - shortened run-rule games and 12-inning games - and will again look to put the bats on display against the Monarchs.

Old Dominion presents a stiff midweek matchup at 23-8 overall, coming off a series in which it gave Southern Miss all it could handle.

🔼 Tarheel Test. In the midst of its best season in school history, East Carolina lacrosse gets its biggest test of the year today as it hosts No. 5 and defending national champion North Carolina.

Last time out, the Pirates scored nine fourth quarter goals in a blowout 18-8 win over Cincinnati to move their record to 10-3. The Tarheels are 10-2 this year, with losses to No. 3 Northwestern and No. 12 Notre Dame.

🔼 36 Holes In. East Carolina is through two rounds at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial, shooting 22-over as a group.

Philip Linberg Bondestad leads the way for the Pirates, shooting rounds of 73 and 72 to finish 3-over on the day. The final round of the tournament will be played today.

🔼 Football Fever. The countdown to the next ECU football game just got a lot longer over the weekend, with the Pirates completing their spring schedule.

That doesn’t mean we can’t hold onto the videos and photos from the Purple-Gold Spring Game, though!

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Win, Win, Win. The East Carolina baseball team is 24-8 this year, good for a .750 winning percentage.
