Coastal Carolina built a
14-point halftime lead and took advantage of a sharp disparity in free
throw opportunities to maintain control in a 63-55 victory over East
Carolina Sunday afternoon at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
Senior guard Mario Sisinni
had 15 points and junior forward Joseph Harris added 11 points and 12
rebounds to help Coastal improve to 5-7 after starting the season 0-4.
The Chanticleers made 21
of 29 from the free throw line, including 15 of 20 in the second half,
and never trailed in claiming the program's second all-time win over the
Pirates.
East Carolina, which fell
to 8-4 with its third straight loss, was charged with 24 personal fouls,
while Coastal was whistled 13 times. The Pirates converted 10 of 15 free
throws.
East Carolina senior guard
Sam Hinnant was charged with a technical foul and teammates Darrius
Morrow, a freshman forward, and James Legan, a senior guard, fouled out.
During one stretch in the
first half, the Pirates went more than 11 minutes without a field goal
as the Chanticleers steadily constructed a 29-14 cushion.
Sophomore guard Brock
Young was the only East Carolina player in double figures with 16.
The Pirates are idle until
the the New Year, facing Clemson on the road on Saturday, Jan. 3, at 4
p.m.
