GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina volleyball team is set to take the floor at Minges Coliseum for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday evening when the Pirates face in-state opponent Wake Forest.
The match is free for the public to attend and will be streamed on ESPN+ with Evan Budrovich (play-by-play) and Brittany Hoyt (analyst) on the call.
East Carolina (7-1) is coming off its first loss of the 2025 season as the Pirates fell in five sets to Liberty at the Tribe Invitational on Saturday.
Ellie Pate leads the Pirates in kills with 101 while Aulie Huff and Sydney Buchanan add 86 and 66 kills respectively. Kai Bailey (35 total blocks) and Carlia Northcross (32 total blocks) provide stout defense at the net and back-to-back American Conference Weekly Honorable Mention Taryn Gilreath leads the team in assists with 292.
