San Antonio, Texas – East Carolina is set to start American Athletic Conference play this weekend when the Pirates travel to San Antonio to face UTSA beginning on Friday at 7 p.m.

ECU is coming off an impressive 2-1 win over Michigan on Wednesday as Emma Jackson's two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth lifted the Pirates past the Wolverines.
Anna Sawyer had an impressive week at the plate last week for ECU, slashing numbers of .667/1.000/.778 and recorded a hit in five of ECU's six games last week, including three multi-hit games, to earn AAC Honorable Mention.
Kanisha Anderson continues her hot start to the season, leading the Pirates at the plate with a .509 batting average and the slapper has recorded three triples already this season (14th in NCAA). Morgan Johnson has returned to form in the past week for ECU, hitting four home runs and recording nine RBI last week. The Pirates' offense has started to heat up with the long ball as 10 of the team's 21 home runs have come in their last seven games.
The duo of Taylor Apple (2.32 ERA, 51.1 IP) and Kendall Frost (3.75 ERA, 50.1 IP) spend most of the time in the circle for the Pirates, combining for 10 of the team's 12 wins.
