NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Tulsa netter Brugues takes national title
Tulsa's Arnau Brugues completed a
spectacular run through the main draw of the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American
Tennis Championships with a 7-6 (5), 6-4 victory over John Isner of Georgia
to earn Tulsa's first tennis national championship, according to a release
on the Conference USA website.
"I can't believe it right now," said
Brugues, "It's like a dream."
Brugues, ranked No. 7 in the nation,
picked up the match's only service break after taking Isner to deuce in the
decisive game and coming out with the win to take the second set 6-4 and
preserve his championship.
Both players held serve through the
first set, forcing a tiebreaker which Brugues won 7-5 after falling behind
2-0 early.
The holding serve trend continued
throughout the second set until Brugues, with a 5-4 lead, battled back to
force deuce in the 10th game and took the next two points for the victory.
Brugues was like a buzzsaw in the main
draw, winning six-straight matches without losing a set, defeating the No.
44, No. 34, No. 61, No. 48, No. 13 and No. 2 ranked players in the nation en
route to the title.
"Anytime you win a national
championship it's very special," said Golden Hurricane Director of Tennis
Vince Westbrook, "I think it puts a stamp on our program that we're the real
deal and we're going to be someone to contend with in the future."
Miami
(OH) reeling after sixth loss
ESPN came to Oxford, OH, on Sunday
night to showcase Northern Illinois rushing sensation Garrett Wolfe
rampaging through the Miami defense, according to a Cincinnati Enquirer
report.
Instead, it was quarterback Phil
Horvath who kept the RedHawks reeling. The senior hit tight end Brandon
Davis with a 3-yard touchdown pass for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth
quarter, and Wolfe ran for a 2-point conversion to lift NIU to a 28-25
victory.
The loss dropped the RedHawks to 0-6
overall and 0-2 in the Mid-American Conference, their worst start since
1988.
Pirates host unique diving competition
The East Carolina diving team opened
its season over the weekend by hosting the ECU Diving Invitational at the
Minges Aquatic Center, according to an ECU athletic media relations release.
The ECU Diving Invitational, unique in
form in that divers competed as pairs instead of on their own as in a
regular dual meet, featured several North Carolina schools. ECU's Peter
Bradyhouse and Matt Larson teamed for a 14th place finish on the one-meter
board and a 15th place finish on the three-meter board on the men's side.
Pirates freshmen Dana Gimbor and Megan
Patro teamed for a ninth place finish on the three-meter and a 12th place
finish on the one-meter board during the women's competition.
"This is an exciting meet for us to
host" said diving coach Rich MacDonald. "It gives us a chance to start the
season off with a challenging meet. I am proud how all the divers dove
today. We are still in the developmental part of our season so it is great
to see results like today."
A diving "shoot-out" followed the
diving competition at ECU, as all divers began competing in the first round
and were eliminated through six rounds. Junior Christie Icenhower finished
first in the women's "shoot-out," while junior Ryan Hunt placed fifth on the
men's side.
Hunt and Icenhower teamed for a fourth
place finish on the one-meter and a fifth place finish on the three meter
board.
