Junior guards Corvonn
Gaines and Miguel Paul combined for ten points during a 15-4 second
half run that enabled East Carolina to shake off Gardner-Webb and
capture a 69-55 victory Thursday night in Greenville.
East Carolina led 43-42
when Paul initiated the momentum grab with a pair of free throws at the
7:59 mark. Two 3-pointers by Gaines sandwiched around a dunk by senior
forward Darrius Morrow followed and the Pirates (7-4) were off to the
races.
By the time the flourish
finished on a trey by junior guard Shamarr Bowden and a layup by Paul,
East Carolina was in charge 58-46 with 4:19 left. In the closing
minutes, ECU padded the margin to as much as 15 on two occasions and
never allowed the Runnin' Bulldogs (6-8) to get closer than 10.
The lead changed hands
four times and there were three ties before the late explosion changed
the complexion of the game.
The Pirates got
double-doubles from Morrow (18 points, 10 rebounds) and junior forward
Maurice Kemp (13 points, 13 rebounds), while Bowden had 13 points and
Paul added 10.
Junior guard Tashan
Newsome and freshman guard Max Landis scored 10 points apiece for
Gardner-Webb.
ECU seized big advantages
in a couple of key aspects of the game. The Pirates outscored the Runnin'
Bulldogs in the paint 28-14 and produced 15 points off turnovers while
giving up only 3.
East Carolina led at
the half 31-29 and played a see-saw contest with Gardner-Webb until
the late run.
The win was the Pirates'
third in a row.
ECU will be idle
through Christmas and return to action with a home game against
North Carolina Central next Thursday at 7 p.m. The Eagles will go
into the matchup with a 7-6 record coming off a 69-58 Thursday night
win over Prairie View A&M.
