🔼 Making A Difference. East Carolina women’s basketball spent time this week visiting ECU Health’s Cancer Center.

The Pirates are champions on and off the court!

🔼 Frequent Flyer. Cliff Godwin is going to have quite the travel schedule if he’s planning on watching all of his former Pirates who are now playing in the majors.

On Tuesday, he was in Washington D.C. watching Alec Burleson and the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Nationals.

And on Wednesday, he was in Cleveland watching Gavin Williams make his MLB debut against Oakland.

🔼 Immediate Impact. Dontae Levingston transferred into the East Carolina football program in 2014 and was immediately impactful on the offensive line.

In his first season as a Pirate, Levingston started 10 of 12 games at right tackle for an offense that averaged 533 yards per game, which ranked fifth nationally.

71 more days until East Carolina football!
