Pirate Brew 11/1: Soccer Showdown

Today, we're looking at soccer's AAC yearly honors.

Good morning. Now that October is over, we can start a countdown to Thanksgiving: 22 days. Even though all the stores are playing Christmas music, we can’t forget about the grand feast!

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

⚽️ Ferguson earns AAC honors
⚾️ Purple-Gold World Series
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Two for Two. Jazmin Ferguson just won two honors this week— American Athletic Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-Conference. The center-back helped the Pirates to allow just .83 goals per game. Maeve English and Annabelle Abbott were also named Second-Team Honors. Lucy Fazackerley earned All-Rookie Team.

🔼 Color Series. The baseball team is playing its Purple-Gold World Series this weekend and the times are listed above. There will be concessions and the teams are being put together by a draft. See updates on the draft on the Pirate baseball Twitter.

Today’s question— before Ferguson, how many Defensive Players of the Year has ECU soccer had?
