Women's Basketball sparks the beginning of the season

Kristen Gaffney, one of four Pirates who scored in double-figures, once again led ECU (3-0) in scoring with 17 points on 7-for-12 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds.

Khadidja Toure finished her second game of the season with 16 points and four assists, as Antoinette Bannister chipped in with 12 points and four assists as well. Bre McDonald, the fourth Pirate in double-figures on Education Day, dropped in 11 points and corralled eight rebounds.

Education Day brings in students from Pitt County Schools to watch the game, which is the reason the game was at 11:30 a.m.

“The atmosphere was incredible,” said ECU Head Coach Heather Macy.
