GREENVILLE, N.C. – ECU Head Women's Golf Coach Kevin Williams has announced that Oda Kilsti has signed a National Letter of Intent to play golf for the Pirates during the 2019 -20 season. She is the third player committed to join the team along with Symone Henriques and Caroline Hermes who both signed on Nov. 15.
