East Carolina University Athletics
Game Preview
The East Carolina lacrosse team is gearing up for an exciting matchup as they travel to Greenville, South Carolina, to take on Furman at Paladin Stadium on Saturday. The Pirates, currently holding a 2-1 record, will look to bounce back from a tough loss to Navy in their last game.
Last Time Out
East Carolina faced a challenging opponent in Navy in their previous game, where they struggled to keep up with the Midshipmen’s dominance on the draw. Despite the efforts of players like Kayla Wilkes and Leah Bestany, the Pirates couldn’t quite muster a comeback against a strong Navy squad.
Scouting the Midshipmen
Furman, coming off a defeat against Elon in their last outing, will be aiming to turn things around against East Carolina. Led by players like Sophie Shaw and Anna Roser, the Paladins will look to put up a strong fight and secure a win on their home turf.
Series History
The Pirates and Paladins have crossed paths three times before, with Furman claiming the first victory in 2020. However, East Carolina has since taken control of the series, including a convincing win on the road last season. Players like Leah Bestany and Caroline Kimel have been key contributors in previous matchups between the two teams.
