East Carolina University’s volleyball team battled another tough American Athletic Conference opponent, taking on Tulsa last Sunday at home. The Pirates (10-6, 2-2 AAC) erased a tough first set to earn their second conference win of the season.
The Pirates opened the game with a 5-0 set lead, but Tulsa responded by scoring 13 of the next 15 points and stopped ECU from going over the rest of the first set. ECU only scored 10 points during the rest of the set, resulting in a 25-15 loss.
ECU was able to bounce back from its rough 25-15 first set by earning a close second set victory, shifting momentum to the Pirates.
