NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Curry to receive Amos Alonzo Stagg award
The American Football Coaches Association
selected Bill Curry, former head coach at Georgia Tech, Alabama and
Kentucky, to receive the association’s Amos Alonzo Stagg award, according to
an announcement at
ncaa.org.
The award recognizes a recipient whose
services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of
football. It is named in honor of a founder of the AFCA. Curry will receive
the award on Jan. 10, during the AFCA convention in San Antonio, TX.
Curry was a head coach in the collegiate
ranks for 17 years — seven at Georgia Tech, three at Alabama and seven at
Kentucky. He was Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 1985 and
Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1989. That same year,
the AFCA named Curry Division I-A regional coach of the year and he was
chosen as the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year.
Curry graduated from Georgia Tech in 1965
and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. He was part of the Super Bowl I
championship team. He also played in Baltimore, Houston and Los Angeles and
played in two Pro Bowls.
He serves as the executive director of
Leadership Baylor at The Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN, and works as a
college football analyst for ESPN and a contributing writer to
espn.com.
Inspired by fallen teammate, Rice whips Army
Chase Clement tossed a school-record five
touchdown passes, including three to Jarett Dillard, as the Rice Owls
presented head coach Todd Graham with his first victory and honored fallen
teammate Dale Lloyd with a resounding 48-14 win at Army.
The Owls have dedicated the season to
Lloyd, who passed away last Monday after collapsing at practice one day
earlier. After battling through the mixed emotions of returning to the
field, Rice blitzed an Army team that was on a two-game winning streak and
had won six of its last nine dating back to last season, according to a
release on the Rice athletics website.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of the
kids," Graham said. "After the emotions they have gone through this week, to
come out here and focus the way they did was very challenging. I feel like
we got better at every phase this week. We've got a good football team and
I've known that all along," he added.
Clement, who had not seen the field since
suffering an injury in the opener against Houston, led the Owl offense to
scores in each of their first four possessions of the first half. After Army
took the opening drive and reeled off a nine-play, 55-yard scoring drive,
Clement and the Owls answered back with a 67-yard march, capped by a 20-yard
scoring strike to true freshman Taylor Wardlow. It was Wardlow's his first
career reception.
Clement was responsible for all but three
yards on the drive, rushing for 20 and completing three of four for 44
yards.

women's golf team finishes 11th
The East Carolina women's golf team
concluded its first tournament of the 2006-07 season with an 11th place
finish at the Wildcat Fall Invitational at the University Club's Big Blue
Course in Lexington, KY.
The Pirates (4-10-0) moved up two spots
from yesterday carding a final round score of 318 to finish with a 54-hole
score of 977, according to an ECU athletic media relations release.
Playing conditions were perfect for the
final round, a welcomed change from yesterday's miserable winds and rain.
Memphis used a final day comeback to edge Augusta State for the tournament
team crown.
Heading into the final day of action,
Louisville held a one-stroke advantage over Memphis and N.C. State, but the
Tigers put together an impressive 298 third round to take home the win.
Augusta State began the day five shots off the lead and enjoyed a great
final round to edge the Wolfpack for second place. N.C. State finished in
third, while Louisville and Birmingham Southern rounded out the top-five.
Mississippi State's Amanda Mathis claimed
the individual crown by a single stroke a nine-over-par 225. Mathis earned a
second place finish in last season's tournament. She edged Louisville's
Adrienne White and N.C. State's Lauren Doughtie who tied for second place.
For the Pirates, freshman Ana Maria Puche
shot a final round seven-over par to finish tied for 33nd (85-76-79=240).
Lene Krog claimed a share of 50th place, while Abby Bools tied for 55th
place, Jessica Hauser tied for 58th and freshman Kristin Billings was 75th.
ECU will be back in action Oct. 20 when the
Pirates host the Lady Pirate Invitational at Bradford Creek.
