and electronic dispatches
Dougherty gets C-USA special teams honor
East Carolina senior punter Ryan
Dougherty was named Conference USA special teams player of the week for his
play last Saturday in the Pirates' 31-21 win over Virginia, according to a
release from the ECU athletic media relations department.
Fueled by a career-best 72-yarder in
the first quarter, the Orlando, FL, native averaged a season-high 55.7 yards
per punt. In the fourth quarter he scored the Pirates final touchdown of the
game as the holder on a fake field goal attempt from two yards out, marking
the second time in his career that he has rushed for a touchdown.
A Ray Guy Watch List nominee, Dougherty
booted the seventh-longest punt in ECU history and longest since 2002. For
his career, he now has 203 punts for 8,657-yards, which ranks third all-time
in C-USA.
In addition to his stellar punting
duties, he had six kickoffs for 369 yards (61.5 yard per kick), including a
pair of touchbacks.
Dougherty joined Tulane quarterback
Lester Ricard, the offensive player of the week, and UAB linebacker Joe
Henderson, the defensive player of the week, as this week's C-USA honorees.
Pirate promotions abound for Tulsa game

home games against Memphis, West Virginia and Virginia, the East Carolina
athletic department has announced three additional promotions to coincide

regular-priced ticket may receive a free child's ticket when asking for
the Take a Kid to the Game promotion. Entering its 12th year, the Take A

and men's and women's basketball games. This nationally recognized
program encourages adults to take children to collegiate athletic
contests.

Pirate Kids Club will receive free admission this Saturday. Simply
