Marathon season starts on right
note |

 Break
out the brooms. East Carolina opened
the 2016 baseball season with a
sweep of Longwood at Clark-LeClair
Stadium. The season is a marathon
and not a sprint. Still, second-year
head coach Cliff Godwin and the
Pirates were more than excited to
get the opening weekend sweep.

NEW ORLEANS — B.J. Tyson led
four East Carolina players in double figures with 22 points as the
Pirates stopped a six-game losing streak with a 79-73 American Athletic
Conference win at Tulane on Wednesday night.
ECU (11-17, 3-12) had a
12-point lead with under nine minutes left in a 100-92
triple overtime loss to the Green Wave
in Greenville on Feb. 10.
Tulane (10-18, 3-12)
rallied again after a 3-pointer by Tyson gave the Pirates a 66-54
advantage with 10 minutes remaining in the second meeting.
After the hosts had
trimmed the margin to 75-73 on two free throws by Louis Dabney with
1:06 to go, Tyson hit a three from the left wing to put ECU ahead,
78-73.
Kentrell Barkley claimed
a defensive rebound on Tulane's ensuing possession with 22 seconds
showing.
Sophomore Lance Tejada
had 13 of his 18 points in the first half as the Pirates led 38-36
at the break. Tejada hit all four of his 3-point attempts in the
first 20 minutes and finished 5-of-6 beyond the arc.
"He was a difference
maker tonight and that was good to see," said ECU coach Jeff Lebo.
"He's been working hard."
Tejada took a hard foul
from Tulane's Dylan Osetkowski with 4:41 to play and was not on the
floor down the stretch.
Barkley totaled 14
points, seven rebounds and three assists.
Mike Zangari had 12
points on 5-of-7 shooting. Prince Williams scored three points but
pulled down seven rebounds, dished out six assists and made a pair
of steals.
Caleb White scored six
points. Clarence Williams and Michel Nzege added two points each.
Osetkowski had 18 points
and 12 rebounds for the Green Wave. Dabney also scored 18 points.
Melvin Frazier had 10 in the loss.
The Pirates made 16 of
25 shots from the field in the second half for 64 percent.
"You're supposed to win
when you do that," Lebo said. " ... We drove the ball well and made
the extra pass. We got them spread out. They had to make some
adjustments in their ball screen defense."
The Pirates made five of
nine from long range after intermission and 10 of 20 (50 percent)
from 3-point land for the game.
ECU hosts Cincinnati
(20-8, 10-5) on Saturday at noon (ESPNU). The Bearcats
topped the Pirates 75-60
at home on Feb. 13.
