arrived at ECU in June to become
a professor of military science
and battalion commander of the
Army ROTC program, but little
did he know he would be set to
help his fellow soldiers by run-
ning just four months later.
Delvaux will be running
26.2 miles in the 32 Annual
Marine Corps Marathon on Oct.
28 in Washington, D.C.
Delvaux will be raising
money every mile of the way for
wounded soldiers in military
hospitals all over the country.
Delvaux has set a personal
goal to raise $10,000 for the
Azalea Charity Ts Aid for Wounded
Soldiers project and he has already
raised more than $7,500.

investing his own time into rais-
ing money for the soldiers that
risk their lives everyday for their
country, � said Kristen Morris,
junior nursing major.
The Azalea Charity is a
non-profit organization that
raises money for comfort and
relief items for all those who
oT liked Azalea because the
people that work for them are
all volunteers, � Delvaux said.
oSo I know that the money is
going where it Ts needed most
whether it be an electronic
calling card, an electric razor
for the guys who can Tt use
blade razors because of blood-
thinning medication or an
.1Pod or Xbox to raise morale
for some troops. �
The Marine Corps Marathon
will not be Delvaux Ts first. He ran
his first marathon back in April,
which was the Country Music
Marathon in Nashville, TN.
By August, Delvaux had
already signed up for the mara-
thon in: Washington D.C. but it
wasn Tt until a run on a hot day
that he decided to run for his
wounded comrades.
oIt was one of those hot,

vaux said.
oAnd I thought about a sol-
dier that I knew that had recently

ECU offers many foreign language options
Students encouraged
to study abroad
YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
ECU Ts Department of For-
eign Languages and Literatures
is looking to expand its pro-
grams in the coming years.
The department currently
offers nine languages, ranging
from Spanish to Italian and clas-
sics such as Latin and Greek.
Some faculty, such as the
department Ts chair, Frank
Romer, feel. that students are
at a loss when they overlook
studying a foreign language.
oApart from the practical
applications such as the medical
field, business and the military,
it helps to reshape your own
thinking of your place in the
world, � Romer said.
oWhen you learn a lan-
guage, you learn another way
to look at the world. �
There are other ways to
expand your view of the world
other than just learning a lan-
guage in a classroom setting.
Many professors push for
their students to take a study
abroad program if thestudents
are able.
oWhen an employer sees
that a student has majored in a
language, they might not know
what to expect, � said Dale Knick-
erbocker, professor of Spanish.
oBut when a student has
lived two semesters abroad,
they can count on their experi-
ence and maturity, �
If students find themselves
unable to travel, many Spanish
internships are available for stu-
dents whom are interested.
oWe want students to apply
the knowledge of the classroom
in the community through
these internships. There are
more opportunities than stu-
dents available to do the work, �
Knickerbocker said.
All of the teachers teach the
same way, communicatively,
emphasizing communication
over grammar.
oWeare active in researching
teaching methods, � said Birgit
Jensen, professor of German.
oWe recently overhauled
our program to reflect these
new methods. As such students T
progress grows organically,
flowing better. �
German speaking firms
have the highest number in
North Carolina, many of which
are found in Charlotte, accord-
ing to Jensen.
oMost of our students
double major, so they can con-
duct business in Germany, �
Jensen said.
Professors stress that
students take the placement
test offered on the depart-
ment Ts website.
oOnce you complete one
2000 level class, you receive
credit for that language Ts lower
numbered classes, � said Debbie
Anderson, professor and:advi-
sor for French studies.
The department is looking
into adding other languages to
their curriculum in the future.
oWe would like to add
Arabic, as it is a critical lan-
guage I'd like to see on campus, �
Romer said.
oUntil then, we are looking
to further develop our other
critical languages offered, Rus-
sian and Japanese. �

Opinion
Bush loves
the kids
SCHIP veto proves Bush
has no soul
JUSTIN SUMMERS
OPINION WRITER
Last week George Bush used the fourth veto
of his presidency to shoot down the popular bipar-
tisan healthcare plan, the State Children Ts Health
Insurance Program. SCHIP provides healthcare
to children who come from families that earn too
much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to
provide for private insurance. Set up by Ted Ken-
nedy and Hillary Clinton in 1997, SCHIP was the
largest development in State Health Care since
Medicaid was set up in the sixties. To qualify
for SCHIP you must be under 200 percent of the
federal poverty line, roughly $41,000 a year for a
family of four. The new SCHIP proposal sought to
increase the income you could be making and still
qualify for SCHIP by 100%. Due to a rise in the
cost of living, a decrease in medical coverage from
employers and the increasing cost of healthcare,
the increase was seen as an effective way to insure
the 9 million children who are still uninsured in
this country.
In addition to those terms, the bill asked for $35
billion over the next 5 years to potentially insure
another 4 million children, bringing the number of
children insured under SCHIP to over 10 million
by 2012. This increase in spending would be paid
for by a raise in the tobacco tax and was approved
by both the House and Senate:
The bill received great praise from most mem-
bers of the House and Senate. In the Senate 18
Republicans voted for the bill and in the House 45
Republicans approved the terms of the bill. Though
it was not enough to override the looming veto
to come from Bush, it showed if nothing else the
popularity of the bill. .
Bush Ts veto of this bill was not unexpected. As
Bush Ts base put more and more pressure on him
to use some fiscal oversight, he vowed to make
drastic cuts in spending; even if it Ts at the expense
of children Ts health.
While the proposed defense budget set to be
approved sometime this. week stands at 460 billion
or more, it is almost inconceivable to me that Bush
cannot afford to shell out 35 billion for poor chil-
dren. Once again it proves that when it comes to
making the right decision, Bush listens to the hard
line rhetoric of special interests and right wing
fundamentalists before the people of America.
*If you would like to do something to help
children in need of health care, write your local
Congressman and ask him to override Bush Ts veto
of SCHIP. All that is needed is an additional 14
Republican votes in Congress to override the veto
and provide millions of children with the health-
care they need -

oGimme More �
Britney Spears
Going from fame to shame
LISA ENSMINGER
OPINION WRITER
Britney Spears is planning for an album release
this November, and I am not quite sure if she will
manage to pull off a comeback. If you haven Tt seen
the news (even CNN reports on her) or tabloids
while waiting in line at the grocery store, Britney
Spears is spiraling her career down the tubes as
we speak. It started off with her classy wedding
with the oworld Ts most hated rap star, � Mr. Kevin
Federline. From there she was pregnant with his
two children, one following another.
The new mommy wasn Tt quite the HOT pop
princess she used to be while drinking Starbucks
left and right and walking into public bathrooms
with no shoes and a bag of potato chips while
oprego. � She then started partying night after night
(sometimes with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan...
yikes!!), and we're not supposed to wonder where
her kids were at these times? She then had a major
breakdown and shaved her whole head bald with
her own hands.
After she checked into rehab and announced a
new album and breakthrough performance on the
VMA's, Spears had most of us thinking she might
make a great comeback. WRONG!
Britney ruined her VMA performance from
the start with her half-done extensions and not-
so-flattering sparkly black bikini costume. The
first words of her almost-hit song, oGimme More �
are, oIt Ts Britney, b****. � Probably shouldn't be
saying that, Britney, if you can Tt lip synch to a
song with the whole song consisting of only two
words: ogimme more. � Not only could she not
osing � appropriately, she couldn't dance, as she was
tripping and owalking through � thé routine like it
was a rehearsal.
Not only did she ruin her one and only oppor-
tunity to make a comeback, she has now gotten
herself into more trouble with two felony charges
and losing custody of her children to Mr. K-Fed (I
don Tt know which one is worse).
Britney's new album is due out in November
and is still on schedule. For some very few fans out
there hoping for a breakthrough, all I have to say
to Britney is ogood luck � because she might say,
oOops, I did it again. �

True Life:
I Tm a skater
What it means to skate.
MATTHEW PARKER
MULTIMEDIA WEB EDITOR
To begin with, I think I should clarify that
I Tm not what people would usually consider a
skater. I Tm what most people would consider a
geek (or something like that). I Tm ok with that; I
like geeky things, video games, computers and all
awesome gadgets. I just wanted to let everyone
open their minds to the little-known world of the
skateboarder, so they can appreciate what they
now take for granted.
Just so we are on the same page, I Tm talking
about normal skateboarding. Not long-board
skateboarding, rollerblading or ice skating, all of
which are cool in their own light; the real issue
here is skateboarding.
The coolest thing about skateboarding to me
is that it is so new to the sports world, only having
been around for the last 50 or so years. It didn Tt
really come into its current light until the mid
1990 Ts. Take pro sports like football, baseball or
golf, and you Tve got hundreds of famous people
from the last half of the century. Now try naming
some famous skateboarders; I doubt you'd get far-
ther than 5 people and most of them are probably
still alive and skating.
As someone who recently decided to pick up
a skateboard and attempt to learn, I have found
a brand new respect for anyone who can actually
skateboard. I found it almost funny how, until I
tried skateboarding for myself, I didn Tt really know
how difficult it is.
As a gamer, I Tve played skateboarding video
games (like Tony Hawk's Skate), but these give you
a false impression of skating. Skating isn Tt as easy
a pushing some buttons and directing an analog
stick. It takes lots and lots of time practicing to
be good at it. Being able to balance on a board
Just wide enough for your feet and long enough
for you to stand on is hard enough. Add wheels to
the bottom and some forward/backward motion,
and it is like learning to walk all over again; fall-
ing happens often.
The overall point I want to make with this
article is that when you see that kid walking
into class with his/her skateboard, respect them.
Understand that they are not like you and me.
They are a skater. Webster says this means a
person that skateboards, but to me it means a
person that sees walking as lame and skateboard-
ing as the answer to it.

Aries
Figure out how much you can afford
to spend before you go shopping.
This won't stop you from going over
budget, but at least you'll know..
Taurus
You're looking very attractive now.
Your major admirer might not
actually say anything, but you'll be
able to tell.
Gemini
Big dreams can come true in
the next two weeks, with your
active participation. First, you must
actually dream something you
want to have come true. Second,
write it down.
Cancer
Another natural resting day, which
happens to occur right in the
middle of your busy week. Delegate
the chores.
Leo
Begin a new project now. Make
commitments that will last. Intend
to do something wonderful that
you've never done before. Today,
everything Ts possible.
Virgo
Again, conditions favor great
wealth coming to you. Technology
appears to be involved, along
with imagination. Your home's the
most likely site. Begin, and ideas
will follow.
Libra
Your confidence has grown, and
with good reason. The more you
learn, the more you earn and the
more others take you seriously.
Scorpio
You're ready to give up some of the
treasures you've been hoarding.
Now Ts a great time to sell. You'll
get top dollar.
Sagittarius
Friends appreciate you, perhaps
more than you realize. Accept a
heartfelt compliment that comes
non-verbally.
Capricorn
You're being watched closely, for
a possible promotion. The whole
thing Ts sort of intangible yet. Subtly
let them know what you can do, and
how it will benefit them.
Aquarius
Thank your friends for their help and
encouragement. Bring them back
something they have never seen
before. This could be a souvenir or
a new idea.
Pisces
A lovely side effect of getting your
finances in order is the increase in
your own self-esteem. You'll stand
taller when this job is done. If it is
done, celebrate. ©

Purple pride in
uptown Greenville

STAFF WRITER
On any given weekend,
students have a wide variety
of entertainment options in
Greenville. The variety of res-
taurants, coffee shops, book-
stores and clubs are sure to
entertain. Whether you are
looking for live music, free food
or something to do in general,
most areas of the city will have
something fun to do, including
the uptown area of Greenville.
In an effort to draw more
people to the area, the Uptown
Greenville organization spon-
sors the Wachovia Freeboot
Friday series for residents and
students alike.
Wachovia Freeboot Fridays
is an oalive at five � concert series
that began over seven years ago
in the Uptown Greenville area
in order to attract students and
citizens into the center of the city
for the night. The event is filled
_with cold drinks, free food and
an assortment of prizes, along
with musical entertainment for
all ages.

of 2300, the average attendance
for Freeboot is around 1800

Hand washing seems to be a key factor in preventing germs and sickness, and it just takes a few seconds. -
Fact vs. fiction about your health
Why bothering to wash
your hands is worth |t
VIRGINIA SMITH .
STAFF WRITER
In 1972, scientists believed the common cold
could be cured by freezing one Ts big toe (angelfire.
com). Now, it Ts pretty well accepted that frostbite
won't make you healthy, although doctors have
confirmed that going outside without a jacket
won't make you sick " but don Tt do that, either.
Nowadays, it Ts all about germs; everything we
see now is antibacterial, and for good reason. The
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
says most'common colds are viral and spread by
germs. They still have not found a cure, but a good
defense is the best offense.
The best prevention is ofrequent hand washing,
and not sharing items such as cups, glasses and
utensils, � according to the CDC.
This is important because people are more
contagious when they are just starting to get sick,
not when they display noticeable symptoms.
Think about this: the ofive second rule � many
people believe in?
It Ts wrong. :
In 2004, Jillian Clarke was recognized by the
Annals of Improbable Research after she proved
that the ofive second rule � is nothing but a myth.
When she placed gummy bears and cookies on a
surface contaminated by E. coli for five seconds,
those gummies and cookies came up really dirty
(New York Times, May 2007).
Interestingly, the Boston Globe published an
article at the same time disagreeing with the cau-
tionary statements above. The decision is up to the
individual which research to believe in.
oT Tve heard about the five second rule T my
whole life, and I used to believe it. But being in a
health program here at ECU made me rethink all
of that. I Tve seen people firsthand in bathrooms
on campus use the facilities and then leave without
washing their hands. It Ts-extremely disgusting.
People wouldn Tt do it as often if they knew how
much ofa health hazard it really is. Washing your
hands is really the key to warding off sickness
and staying healthy, especially during this time
of year, � said Tiara Street, sophomore community
health major.
So what Ts the best way to keep all those nasty
germs at bay? Wash your hands. A lot.
The CDC recommends that you wash
your hands with soap and warm water " yes,
water temperature makes a difference " for at
least 20 seconds. If you're not sure about the
timing, sing oHappy Birthday � twice in
your head.
Carry hand sanitizer and use it when you've

Fashion on the dime
Where and
what is hot
JESSICA DUNLOW
STAFF WRITER
Fall Fashion week in New
York City just concluded and
that means that ofast fashion �
will be available within the next
few weeks.
Fast fashion, ideally, is afford-
able to the mass population. This
is because these fashions are, in
essence, knock-offs of original
designs and runway style.
These originals college stu-
dents could probably never
afford, but some stores carry
runway styles for cheap.
For instance, the best place
to find these trendy knock-offs
are in the teenage favorites
Forever 21, Charlotte Russe and
Delia Ts. The average shirt price
ranges from $15 to $35, which
is a life savor compared to the
$150 t-shirts found at Neiman
Marcus under the Juicy Couture
brand name. (Hint, Hint: Get
the same looking T-shirt for
only $17 at Target).
Styles begin on the runway,
shift to celebrities (who popu-
larize the fashion) and even-
tually find themselves in
department stores.
According to Dr. Erin Par-
rish, a professor in the fashion
and interior design depart-
ment, the only places to find
high-end fashion in Greenville
are in small, individually-
owned boutiques.
However, Parrish claims
that designer lines are becom-
ing more available to the gen-
eral population.

rise in department stores and

Fall fashions, straight from the runway, can be found at department stores minus the designer price tag.

to those who want reasonably
priced fashions.
The Vera Wang label at
Kohl Ts is currently limited, since
it was Just brought into stores,
but the brand, Simply Vera,
should be expanded upon by
next season. The average price
runs anywhere from $35 for a
knit top to $85 for a dress.

and resembles a conservative
style. Like Szmply Vera, the
prices are moderate.
Again, Parrish stated that
the style is reverting to conser-
vatism for the fall of 2007 and
the spring of 2008. Expect the
looks to be more tailored and
long, which means more fabric
and design work, making for a
more expensive outfit.
In addition, complete out-
fits are coming back into style,
with the designers aiming to
sell an entire outfit, which can
be pricey when not bought in
cheaper stores.
For fall, don Tt be pressured
to break the bank. Check out
stores like Target and JC Penney
for designer looks without the
designer price tags.

particularly on campus. Do you
know if the last person to open
that door washed their hands?
WebMD claims, oOnly 3 in
4 people wash their hands in
public restrooms. �
Some doctors actually
believe hand sanitizer is more
effective than antibacterial soap,
so carry it around with you.
Make sure any hand sanitizer
you do use has at least a 60%
ethyl alcohol content.
So even if you never listened

your hands before dinner.
Wash your hands. Rinse

FOOLBALL PREVIEW
KEYS 10
THE GAME
1. Dominate the red zone
The Miners are ranked first in C-USA in red
zone offense, as they have converted on 21 of
their 23 attempts inside of the 20-yard-line,
18 of which have been touchdowns. ECU, on
the other hand, has missed five field goals
from inside of the 20-yard-line. Points should
be aplenty in this game, so UTEP needs to con-
tinue putting the ball in the end zone when it
gets the chance, while forcing ECU into field
goal attempts.
2. Don Tt give Johnson a chance
Chris Johnson is currently second in the na-
tion in scoring with 12 total touchdowns and
first in C-USA in all-purpose yards with 1,228.
The Pirates T lightning quick all-purpose back
has been especially effective returning kick-
offs this season and will be running on the
Sun Bowl turf, where speed is enhanced. But
the Miners lead C-USA in touchbacks with 13.
UTEP needs to continue kicking the ball deep
into the end zone, not allowing Johnson any
chance to break free on a kickoff return.
3. Outscore ECU
UTEP has scored at least 48 points in each
of its last three games, and won all of them.
Last week, quarterback Trevor Vittaloe set
a UTEP freshman record with 318 passing
yards and three touchdowns. Vittaloe has a
slew of tall, athletic receivers to throw to,
and a reliable running back in senior Marcus
Thomas. The Miners need to use their offen-
sive momentum from the last three weeks,
and continue scoring at will.
Pirates prepared to face
the heat.in the Sun Bowl
ECU and UTEP set to square off
in meeting of hot teams
JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
The Pirates are back in business.
A season that looked dark and dismal a few weeks ago for ECU suddenly turned
_ bright with two straight wins over C-USA foes Houston and UCF. The Pirates are �"�
back in the hunt for a postseason berth while currently sitting atop the C-USA
East Division standings.
This Saturday ECU [ 3-3, 2-1] travels to El Paso, Texas to take on UTEP (4-2,
2-0] at the legendary Sun Bowl, with a kickoff set for 9 p.m. The meeting will mark
the first time the two schools have lined up opposite of each other on the gridiron,
while the trip to El Paso will mark the second-longest ever made by the Pirates,
with 1,905 miles separating the two schools.
oThis is going to be a heck of a challenge, � said ECU coach Skip Holtz, who is 15-15
overall during his Pirate tenure. oUTEP has won three-straight and is playing on a high
right now. They have really come into their own as an offensive football team.
oThey want to make every game a track meet. They don Tt want to play protective
football but want to start scoring points right off of the bus. �
The Miners have won both of their C-USA games, scoring 96 total points
against Tulsa and SMU. In both games, UTEP has overcome fourth quarter deficits
of nine points of more to win. Against SMU, the Miners trailed 42-38 with 14:45
left to play before rallying to win, 48-45, in overtime. Last week against Tulsa,
the Miners were behind 37-28 with 14:33 left to play before battling back to win
48-47 in thrilling fashion.
__ UTEP coach Mike Price knows that while the Pirates might not look that great
on paper, they are a dangerous team to play.
oStatistically, ECU doesn Tt look really great and their record isn Tt perfect, but
boy are they capable, � said Price at his Monday press conference. oThey are really
good. They have a big strong quarterback, a big strong running back, a kickoff
return guy, a huge defensive line and theyre very well coached. | think ECU is
more physical than we are. Theyre bigger, stronger and faster. �
This weekend's game will not only mark the first meeting between ECU and UTEP, but
will also mark the first time Holtz has coached against Price. According to Price however, the
two know each other well.
oI knew Skip Holtz T dad [Lou Holtz]. didn Tt know Skip until recently, butin the last couple
of [C-USA] golf tournaments I've paired up with him and it Ts because he Ts a really good golfer, T
Price said. oIt's not how you play the game, it Ts how you pick your partners. �
The Pirates have been fighting the injury bug, mostly on defense, for the last
couple of weeks. Multiple Pirates remain questionable for the game Saturday. "
oInjury-wise, Marcus Hands is still out with a shoulder injury, Holtz said on
Monday. o1 am concerned about Jeremy Chambliss, Pierre Bell and Quentin Cotton.
They will not be able to practice this week and are all questionable for this weekend.
It throws a wrench into your defense when you take your two top linebackers and
top backup out of the mix.
oOffensively, Josh Coffman is still out and we will play the wait and see game with
Jonathan Williams and Willie Barton. Barton is more probable at this point. �
The Pirates will need all the help they can get on Saturday because the UTEP
offense, as a surprise to many, is potent.
' oStatistically, they are balanced on offense, averaging 190 yards on the ground
and 230 throwing the ball, T said Holtz. oThey have really come into their own as
an offensive football team. They are extremely productive in the red zone, about
91 percent successful. �
UTEP Ts freshmen quarterback, Trevor Vittatoe, has been stellar as the Miners
signal caller this year. On the season, Vittatoe has passed for 1,295 yards and 10
touchdowns, coupled with only two interceptions. In the backfield, senior running
back Marcus Williams has also been having a huge season. Williams has averaged
121 rushing yards a game and has racked up 11 touchdowns.
The key factor in the Miners T offense could be their receiving core. On the unit,
the top three wide receivers are listed at 6-foot-5. Sophomore Jeff Moturi has seven
touchdowns on the season while averaging 75 yards receiving a game. Senior Lorne
Same has added a touchdown while their other big receiving threat, senior Joe West,
has two touchdowns to his credit.
oThey make you spread the field and do some good things in space, T said Holtz
about the Miners T offense. oThey are so good because they are athletic at wide receiver
as they are all over six feet tall. Their quarterback can beat you with his feet and his
arm so you can't focus on just the run or just the pass. � __
On the other side, ECU has found the perfect solution to its quarterback needs. Redshirt
sophomore Rob Kass played phenomenal last week against UCF, completing 12-of-23 pass
see PREVIEW page Al0
ECU Coach Skip Holtz said earlier in the week
KEYS IO
THE GAME
1. Stop the pass |
The ECU secondary has struggled this season,
allowing an average of 280 yards per game
through the air. The last thing that this young
secondary needs is to play a team like UTEP.
The Miners have three receivers that are listed
at 6-foot-5 and have accounted for 10 touch-
downs. As an offensive unit, the Miners aver-
age about 235 yards passing per game.
2. Plug the holes
that it Ts not so much in stopping someone as
it is just plugging the holes. The ECU defense
has been great at creating turnovers; in fact
they are fifth in the nation in turnover margin
Marcus Thomas, the Miners T running back, is
averaging 121 yard: per game rushing so it is
critical that the Pirates create some turnovers
and limit Thomas T production. The Pirates must
adopt the bend but not break the mentality that
they have been succeeding with as of late.
3. Come out firing
The Pirates have come out sluggish in just
about every game so far this season. ECU has
been outscored in every quarter this season ex-
cept the third quarter, where it holds a distinct
80-45 advantage. This year, the Pirates have
been outscored 44-14 in the first quarter, 73-
47 in the second and 35-17 in the fourth. ECU
must show up for the first half Saturday night
or UTEP Ts upstart offense could put the Pirates
in a big hole early in the game.

ECU club hockey team finds revenge
and success at Charlotte Shootout
Pirates start huge
season off right
KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER
Sometimes first is not
always best.
George Washington cap-
tured the Charlotte Shootout
championship over the weekend
amid stiff competition from
three southern heavyweights.
The Colonials may have fin-
ished first on paper but ECU
put forth an equally impressive
performance.
ECU dropped its opener
against George Washington in
a shootout, 7-6, before knock-
ing off Appalachian State and
Georgia Tech by a combined
score of 17-1.
The Pirates headed into the
third period against the Colo-
nials with a commanding 4-1
lead. Scoring was evenly dis-
tributed among the Pirate for-
wards with goals coming from
Joe Sonatore, Tyler Falcon,
Sean Burns and Nathan Buhr.
George Washington
chipped away at the lead for
the duration of the third before
finally equalizing, 6-6, just
before time expired while play-
ing with an empty net. The
Colonials went on to edge the
Pirates, 1-0, in a shootout.
ECU Coach Wayne Cox
believes his team more than
held its own.
oWe learned that these guys
[ECU] will be one of the top
teams in the South if they play
up to their potential, � said Cox.
oTd love to get another crack at
George Washington before the
year is over. Hopefully, we'll
meet them at regionals. �
The second game against
ASU renewed a heated rivalry.
ASU, which co-hosted the
tournament with Georgia Tech,
was essentially playing on home
ice. The Mountaineers will
travel from Boone to the Pin-
eville, N.C. rink for all of their
home games this year.
The advantage did not pay
off, as the Pirates thrashed
ASU, 13-1.
Avenging last year Ts Blue
Ridge Hockey Conference
Tournament loss was of par-
ticular importance to ECU.
oThe boys had something
to prove against App., � said
Cox. oI think from an emotional
perspective, the beating that we
put on them did a lot to bring
this team together. �
Sophomore Chris Cesario
and junior Jeremy Lang both
tallied hat tricks.
oThere was a slap shot from
the defenseman and I was just
standing right there, � said
Cesario of his third goal. oThe
goalie was down and I picked up
the rebound and Just knocked it
in for the hat trick. �
The Pirates did not light up
the scoreboard quite as often in the
third game against Georgia Tech,
but the offense was still clicking.
ECU out-shot the Yellow
Jackets 76-20 in a 4-0 victory
that. earned a second place
tournament finish. The Pirates
scored all four goals in the first
two periods against a Georgia
Tech team that finished last
season ranked third in. the
South (ACHA Division III).
ECU benefited from
another balanced scoring attack
with Burns, Joe Colatuno, Sam
Duehring and Lang finding
the net.
Cox cited defensemen
Duehring and Donovan Dean
for their exceptional play. Cap-
tain Corey Fleitz also provided
defensive depth, frequently
moving back from the wing
throughout the weekend.
Freshman goaltender Matt
Dalgetty played 60 minutes and
stopped 21-of-21 shots against
the Yellow Jackets as well.
ECU looks forward to
its home opener this Friday
against former Blue. Ridge
Hockey Conference rival, UNC-
Wilmington.
The Pirates have never lost
to the Seahawks. UNC-W is one
of only a few original members
left in the BRHC after the con-
ference saw an exodus of teams
in the offseason. .
oThey Tve still got some
good hockey teams, � said Cox
of the BRHC. oIll be interested
in what [UNC] Wilmington
brings down here this year.
They played us tough last year.
[UNC] Wilmington has a
good hockey team. �
With one of the biggest
games in ECU club ice hockey
history looming, it could be easy
to overlook the Seahawks.
oI really hope these. guys
have their heads on straight
because UNC-W is not a team |
that has too much wrong with
them, � said Lang. oEverybody
is obviously really excited about .
the [N. C_] State game.
oTjust hope that we don Tt look
ahead of them [UNC-W ]. �

PREVIEW continued from A8&
attempts for 201 yards and three touchdowns. Junior Patrick
Pinkney got some reps as well, but it Ts been made clear that
Kass is the guy except in certain situations where Pinkney Ts
mobility is needed.
Senior running back Chris Johnson has also
exploded this season as an offensive force. Johnson
ran the ball 23 times last week for 89 yards and
two touchdowns, and also had five receptions for
89 yards and a touchdown. If that wasn Tt enough,
he also returned the second half opening kickoff 96
yards for yet another score.
With everything seemingly falling into place
offensively coach Holtz couldn't be happier.
oWe really didn Tt have an identity offensively
at the beginning of the season, it was like a land of
misfit toys, T he said. oThere were a lot of questions
* to be answered but we have stayed the course and
gotten better fundamentally. I think the offense
is beginning to gain confidence not only because
we scored 52 points Saturday but because we are
seeing that doing the fundamental things correctly
actually works. �
The biggest concern for Holtz going into Satur-
day was the traveling aspect of this week Ts long haul
to El Paso. Coach Price doesn Tt feel all that sorry for
the Pirates however.
o1 think the travel can make a difference for East
Carolina. | think it Ts a horrible experience for them
to have to go through. Don Tt you, � laughed Price
as he addressed members of the media Monday
morning. ,
Junior defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell believes
the traveling aspect will be tough but if the play-
ers follow the coaching staff Ts plan and get things
done early then the Pirates should be at full force
Saturday night.
oThe biggest key is getting rest at night, T said
Mitchell, who made his first career interception last
week against UCF. oIt is like a jet lag. You're going
over two time zones, so when you get there the time
didn Tt really move. I think when we get there coach is
going to have a lot of downtime for us. We're going
to try to get a lot of stuff done early.

Pirates split weekend series
ECU Ts streak snapped
KATHERINE HARRY
STAFF WRITER
The ECU women Ts soccer
team came off ofits first weekend
of conference play at 1-1, extend-
ing its overall record to 7-2-2.
Going into the first week-
end of many conference games
senior Kat Norris was energized
by the team Ts enthusiasm.
oOur team was very focused
and I was really excited to hear
about how much everyone on the
team wanted to win the games.
It is hard to relay to some people
the importance of conference
games, but most of the new-
comers seemed to get a good
idea right away, � said Norris.
The Pirates defeated South-
ern Miss Friday afternoon, 2-1,
in their conference opener in
Hattiesburg, Miss.
The first goal of the game
came early, just three minutes
into the contest, when Blair
Hefner scored her fourth goal
of the season. The goal was
assisted by Anastasia Nikas and
Jessica Swanson.
Amanda Broz netted her
second goal of the year off of a
throw-in play from Jami Dick-
erson in the 66 minute.
Southern Miss scored their
only goal with a minute and a
half left in the game.
The goal by S. Miss

allowing a goal at 804 min-
utes. This record stands at
No. 20 in NCAA history.
The Pirate Ts success thus far
can be attributed to good team
chemistry and respect.

is the best team that I have
played on. The team chemis-:
try is great both on and off the
field, and we really don Tt havea
lot of bickering going on. I do
think the underclassmen listen
to the leaders of the team, but I
also feel that they can give good
advice out Just as well as some
other people. I would like to
hope they value my advice, but
you can Tt always have every-
thing, � said Norris.
ECU traveled to Orlando,
Florida on Sunday afternoon to
face the University of Central
Florida, who is ranked No. 10
by the Southeast Buzz Poll.
The Pirates fell to the
Knights 1-0 after two over-
time periods, ending their eight
game winning streak.
Although the Pirates
lost, their overtime compe-
tition earlier in the season
helped prepare them for the
long game against UCF.
oFitness is a big factor,
and there is a huge difference
between being fit and being
game fit. It is good to go
into overtime a couple games
because it helps you to stay

mentally tough. After the first
one, you know what to expect
more, � said Norris.
Both Blair Hefner and Amy
Szilard had good looks at the net
in the first half, but were blocked
by UCF keeper Jennifer Manis.
ECU had only one shot
in the second half while UCF
came away with no shots in the
second half of regulation.
The only goal of the game
was scored in the last minute
of the final overtime by UCF Ts
Yvonne George when Courtney
Whidden found hex alone in the
right corner of ECU Ts box.
EOU was: oat shot
the Knights 21-7.
The Pirates did alot of travel-
ing for their games this weekend.
oFatigue was an issue for
us this weekend. It was a long
weekend with lots of travel, and
I just think it took a toll on all
of our bodies, � said Norris.
