“What an amazing senior class,” ECU head coach Heather Macy said. “It was very rewarding to see the growth in a lot of different aspects.
ECU (11-18, 5-12 AAC) played SMU (12-16, 7-10 AAC) for the second time this season, as the Pirates lost 74-67 in overtime in the first meeting.
The Pirates jumped out of the gate fast in the opening minutes, starting the game on a 10-0 run. ECU applied full court pressure early on to put the Mustangs on their heels. SMU then figured out how break down the pressure, cutting its deficit to six points at the end of the quarter with a score of 21-15.
