📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Historic Donation. ECU fans, give it up for former Pirate golfer and East Carolina University Hall of Fame member Harold Varner III and his wife, Amanda, who have made a transformational investment to the Pirates Unite Campaign for Comprehensive Excellence!

The Varner’s investment will head up an expansion of the men’s and women’s golf practice facility, as well as the proposed Isley Indoor Performance Center.

🔼 Countdown Continues. We’ve only got 81 more days until East Carolina kicks off its season against Michigan in Ann Arbor!

Quick, who is the first ECU football player that comes to mind who wore 81?

How about Jimmy Williams? The talented receiver caught 119 passes as a Pirate for 1,722 yards and 14 touchdowns!

🔼 Pirate Spotlight. Before it gets too late into the summer and the fall semester is all of a sudden closer than this past spring semester, Taylor Edwards deserves another shoutout for what she did for Pirate softball this season.

The grad student from Los Angeles hit .365 with a 1.013 OPS, leading East Carolina in both of those categories, as well as RBI (25), doubles (12), walks (25)
