MEMPHIS – It began and ended as a defensive affair with some offensive sparks as East Carolina downed Memphis 3-1 in American Athletic Conference volleyball action Sunday in the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. The win is the first conference win of the season for East Carolina (8-5, 1-1 American) and drops Memphis to 10-5 overall and 1-1 in conference play.
"It was really about playing our side of volleyball," Head Coach April Jauregui said. "Unfortunately, and we'll talk to the team about it, I don't think they came ready to play a conference volleyball game today and ECU did.
