Junior center Chad Wynn scored 16 points and had 10 rebounds as East Carolina opened its 2009-10 basketball campaign with a 77-60 victory over NAIA member Virginia-Wise Friday night in Greenville.

Sophomore forward Darrius Morrow added 14 points, junior guard Brock Young had 12, junior guard Jontae Sherrod contributed 10, and sophomore guard Chris Turner recorded 7 points and 10 rebounds in a game that was tied at 43 with less than 12 minutes remaining.

The Highland Cavaliers (2-2) were led by sophomore guard Travis Berry (16 points) and senior guard Pance Kecev (15 points), while sophomore forward Josh Jordan added 9 points and 10 rebounds.

With less than 8 minutes left and East Carolina (1-0) clinging to a 52-51 lead, dunks by Morrow and Turner set off a 25-9 run that put the game away and set the stage for the Pirates to go into a Sunday matchup with Wake Forest on a winning note.

Wake also opened its season with a Friday night win on its home court, taking charge in the game's early minutes and cruising to a 76-56 victory in Winston-Salem over Oral Roberts.
