Sophomore forward Darrius Morrow scored 17 points and was joined in double figures by four of his teammates as East Carolina closed out the non-conference part of its schedule with a more-difficult-than-expected 68-58 win over North Carolina Central Sunday afternoon in Greenville.

Junior guard Jontae Sherrod scored 13 points, junior center Chad Wynn had 12 points and 13 rebounds, and another pair of juniors, forward Jamar Abrams and point guard Brock Young, each added 12 points for the Pirates (6-8).

Junior guard C.J. Wilkerson led N.C. Central with 18 points. Sophomore forward T.J. Granger scored 16 points and junior guard Michael Glasker contributed 10 for the Eagles (2-12).

The Pirates led at the half 33-27 after holding a 13-point advantage on three occasions in the middle portion of the frame.

N.C. Central cut the margin to 2 points with 4:59 left in the game before East Carolina regained command.

The Pirates will sail into dangerous waters when they open their Conference USA schedule on Wednesday at UAB, which is 12-2 after a 73-72 victory at Arkansas on Saturday.
