Pirate Press: ECU Headlines

Bonesville Rewind: Some of Pirates’ biggest moments, 2010-2019 by Al Myatt 

Winning the CIT

Akeem Richmond hit the deciding 3-pointer as time expired on an assist from Miguel Paul as the Pirates topped host Weber State, 77-74, to win the CollegeInsider.com Tournament on April 2, 2013.  That completed a 23-12 season for ECU in Jeff Lebo’s third season as coach.  The dramatic shot heard ’round Pirate Nation gave ECU its lone national title against an NCAA field. The 1961 baseball championship came when the Pirates competed in the NAIA.
