Rouse rips Aggies

From staff and wire reports

GREENVILLE — Preseason all-star candidate Corey Rouse did more than his share to make sure the Ricky Stokes era got off to the right start Friday night.

The senior frontcourt player from Kinston had 35 points and 17 rebounds to lead East Carolina to an 86-75 win over North Carolina A&T in Stokes' first regular season game as the Pirates' head coach.

Freshman guard Sam Hinnant scored 19 points, while junior guard Courtney Captain and sophomore forward Jonathan Hart each scored 10 for the Pirates (1-0).

Austin Ewing and Demetrius Guions each had 16 points, Jason Willis had 12 and Christopher Faison had 10 for the Aggies (0-1).

A&T took an early 8-2 lead before ECU went on a 22-7 run and took a 24-15 lead with just more than four minutes left in the first half.

The Aggies trimmed the lead to 35-31 late in the half, but Captain and Hinnant had back-to-back 3-pointers to increase the Pirates' lead to eight, 41-33, less than two minutes into the second half.

East Carolina took its first double-digit lead, 58-48, after Captain hit another 3-pointer with just over 10 minutes remaining.

The Pirates led by as much as 16 points, at 80-64, with 2:48 left to play.

ECU's next game is Tuesday, when it will host Gardner-Webb at 7 p.m.
