Coach's Quote:
"To break the 20 win mark and set the record for the most wins in a season in Pirate history on the road against a team like Coastal Carolina, who is always so tough, is special. For two hours it felt like we were fighting an uphill battle, but the guys kept fighting and when things got tight, we stepped up and put it all out there, which is all you can ask. This was an unbelievable team effort."– ECU Assistant Coach Ian Van Cott
