The East Carolina University softball team struggled for the second straight weekend, going 0-5 in its Pirate Invitational tournament at the ECU softball stadium. Head coach Courtney Oliver is certainly not panicking about the Pirates’ season, she knows it’s all part of the process.
“The season is a marathon not a sprint,” Oliver said. “I tell them that you’re not supposed to be peaking in February. I think we are growing a lot as a team, and these are growing pains.”
The Pirates never could get over the hump in the tournament, extending their losing streak to six-straight dating back to last weekend.
