🔼 Countdown Continues. Only 23 more days. That’s it! Softball plays its first game on Feb. 8 against Charleston Southern. And then, guess what? Only 28 days until the Pirate’s first home game! Softball faces North Dakota State at home on Feb. 13 and there will be a poster giveaway. Entrance to the games is free. Make sure to come support your Pirates!

📆 Here is the softball schedule.

🔼 Camp Rocks! Who has missed ECU soccer? I know I have. This is the perfect way for you to connect with the program while in the offseason.

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…

🏴‍☠️ Back on the Field. The women’s lacrosse team is back on the field for the 2024 season! The Pirates had their first practice on Thursday. The skill level of this year’s team is out of this world. And the even better news? The women’s first game is on Saturday, Feb. 10. That’s only 25 days away! Keep up with the team on Twitter and Instagram.

🏴‍☠️ Get With It. Are you an ECU student? Do you enjoy going to games? Well, that’s all fine and dandy, but you could be doing more! Check out the ECU Student Pirate Club to see what you’re missing.
