Pirate Brew 8/23: Pitch Perfect Pirates

East Carolina Soccer defeats UNC Greensboro, opening the season at 2-0 for the first time since 2017

Good morning. The East Carolina soccer team came from behind to defeat UNC Greensboro 2-1 on Thursday night in Johnson Stadium. After Taylor Mentzer scored the opening goal for the Spartans, scores from Sydney Schnell and Emma Sheehan pushed the Pirates back in front for the victory.
 
The Pirates will return to Johnson Stadium on Sunday night at 5:30pm ET to take on the Campbell Camels (more on that below).

🔼 The Straw That Broke the Camels’ Backs. With soccer in full swing now, it’s time to look ahead to the next matchup versus the Campbell Camels this Sunday at 7pm ET. To do that, we'll also look back at the impressive history of the Pirates commanding this rivalry. With nine wins, one loss, and one tie, it’s safe to say the Pirates have the upper hand…er, header.

During their last outing in August of last year, Lucy Fazackerley's header was pivotal, as the East Carolina soccer team downed Campbell, 1-1, at the Eakes Athletics Complex. The goal was the first of Fazackerley's career.
