Stokes convenes season's first hoops practice
East Carolina opened its 75th season of
intercollegiate basketball and its second under head coach Ricky Stokes with
its first practice of 2006-07 by working out for three hours inside Williams
Arena at Minges Coliseum on Friday night, according to an ECU athletic media
relations release.
The Pirates return four letterwinners
in senior Courtney Captain (8.9 ppg), juniors Taylor Gagnon (1.5 ppg) and
Jeremy Ingram (10.3 ppg) and sophomore Sam Hinnant (10.2 ppg). Ten
newcomers, including seven freshmen, went through their first collegiate
practices.
"It's really exciting to have finally
gotten started," Stokes said. "With so many young faces we have to make sure
that we continue to take things slow. With that said I really liked the
energy, enthusiasm and eagerness they displayed tonight."
East Carolina will practice each of the
next four days before taking its mandatory day off on Wednesday.
"It was a very rigorous and challenging
preseason," Stokes said. "We did a little more team stuff than we did
individual, so we're a little ahead of the game in regards to putting things
in offensively. We just want to concentrate on getting better. That's the
most important thing that we're going to focus on."
Fans will have their first chance to
get a preview of this year's team at the annual Purple-Gold game prior to
ECU's homecoming football game against SMU on Saturday, Oct. 21. The game is
scheduled for a noon start. The Pirates open the regular season at home
against Morgan State on November 11.
Pirate
volleyball wins third straight
The East Carolina volleyball team won
its third match defeating Southern Miss in five games, 3-2 (30-28, 30-22,
27-30, 28-30, 15-7) on Friday night.
The win by the Pirates snapped a four
match winning streak for the host Golden Eagles, according to an ECU
athletic media relations release. With the win, ECU improves to 13-9, 4-4 in
C-USA while Southern Miss drops to 11-10, 4-3 in Conference USA.
Four Pirates tallied double-digit kills
in the win, with Kelley Wernert recording 22 to lead the team. She added 12
digs for her 10th double-double of the season. Mignon Dubenion registered 21
kills, four digs and four blocks while Jaime Bevan had 16 kills. Melissa
Zentner recorded her second straight double-digit kills match, with 12.
Trish Monroe had 14 digs on the night while Stephanie Turner added 12.
Setter Heidi Krug tallied 71 assists on the win.
The Pirates hit .311 on the night,
recording 81 kills and 71 digs, with 11 total team blocks.
The Pirates return to action today as
the team travels to Orlando , FL, for a 1 p.m. match against Central
Florida.
ECU
opens women's hoops practice at Rose
The East Carolina women’s basketball
team began its fifth year in the Sharon Baldwin-Tener era on Friday night
with the squad’s first practice of the 2006-07 season.
The Lady Pirates practiced for two
hours Friday night at J.H. Rose High School.
“I was pleasantly surprised with the
aggressiveness of our first practice,” Baldwin-Tener said. “As most first
practices go, there were a lot of turnovers, but the effort and intensity of
the players is where we need it to be.”
ECU returns nine letterwinners and four
starters off last year's squad that tallied a 17-12 record, the team’s best
finish in 14 years. Joining the team this season will be freshmen Lauren
Cochran, Erica Crumlin and Shana Franks. Cochran and Crumlin will play the
forward/center position while Franks will share time with returning
sophomore Jasmine Young at the point guard position.
The Lady Pirates will hold their annual
Purple-Gold game on Saturday, Oct. 21 at 1:00 p.m. as part of the ECU
Homecoming festivities. The regular season begins Nov. 12 as ECU travels to
Harrisonburg , VA, for a 2:00 p.m. tilt against James Madison.
