ith only eight
days left until
America votes,
Democratic

vice-presiden- .

tial nominee Joe Biden made an
_ appearance on campus yesterday with
hundreds attending to hear the senator
talk about the importance of voting
and the economy. | :
About 10 a.m., local politicians,
students, staff, faculty and members of
the community and surrounding areas
gathered outside at the Mendenhall
Brickyard to get a glimpse of the
senator,
The rally began with a prayer by
North Carolina Senate hopeful Don
Davis before former Student Govern-

ment Association president and first
Black SGA president M. Cole Jones
took the stage to lead the crowd in the
Pledge of Allegiance.

Congressman G.K. Butterfield
also spoke briefly to the group about
his friend,? Sen. Biden, calling the
vice presidential nominee a ~states-
manT and foreign policy expert.?

My friends, we are tired of the
failed policies of the Bush administra-

tion,? said Butterfield. ItTs time for
_ change in North Carolina. ItTs time for

Barack Obama and Joe Biden to put
America on the right path.?

Melissa Hege, ECU student and
the ECU field organizer for the Obama
campaign in Greenville, also gave
a few words about the hard work of
students during the months leading

up to Election Day before introducing

Sen. Biden to the crowd.

In this region we have [had]
record-breaking numbers as far as
getting people registered to vote,?
Hege said. And we couldnTt have
done that without ... every student,
every student organization [and]
every community member. You donTt
know the impact you have had on this
campaign.?

Biden took the stage holding an
ECU baseball hat before diving into
his 20-minute speech.

Biden focused on the economy,
hitting home what the Obama cam-

paign has been preaching for months: .
-a John McCain administration would

contain the same? policies as the
Bush administrationTs regarding the
economy and other issues.

ItTs not about [if] you are better.

Biden said. The economy in crisis,

workers losing their jobs, families
losing their homes and watching their
incomes decline, the cost of every-
thing from health care to college on
the rise, our stand in the world decline
... the answer to the question is not,
~are we better off?T"everyone knows
weTre not better off. The real question
is, ~how can we be better off four years
from now?T?

I know Halloween is coming,?
he said. But John McCain dressed
as an agent of change"that costume
doesnTt fit, folks.?

Biden also spoke of the loss of jobs
in the country and the state, and the
U.S. health care system, which has left
millions uninsured. Biden mentioned
the climbing number of foreclosures
across the country along with the
Obama/Biden plan to rebuild? and
restore? the American middle class

by giving tax cuts to those citizens.

If we can help Wall Street, then
we can help Evans Street and all the
streets in Greenville,? Biden said.

Biden poked fun at the McCain
camp's use of the word maverick,?
saying that, you canTt call yourself a
~maverickT if all youTve been for the
last eight years is a ~sidekick,T? draw-
ing cheers from the crowd.

After his speech, Biden took time
to shake hands and take pictures with
students and members of the audi-

In addition to BidenTs speech in
Greenville, the senator also visited
Greensboro, NC and New Port Richey,
Fla. on Monday.

Federal grand jury indicts suspect in UNC slaying

to parrot the same failed policies
that give billions to billionaires

viding no relief at all to more

equally hard to tie McCain to

90 percent support for Bush in

Atarally in Dayton, McCain
continued to criticize Obama.

it means taking your money and

McCain. He ridiculed ObamaTs
argument that his tax plan was
based on fairness.

that happens,? said McCain.

McCain opposed another
economic stimulus package and
said he would instead seek to
bring spending under control. He
made clear the advisers he met

istration and it would steer a far
different course than Bush.

McCain described an eco-

McCain repeated his propos-
als to cut taxes for those who

and end requirements that force
people to take money out of
retirement accounts during the
marketTs downturn.

He also said he would

Get higher
standards

States shouldn't settle for low
graduation rates to meet goals

ANDREA ROBERTSON
Tue East CAROLINIAN

Today, kids are less likely to padialy than their
parents were.

Since 2002, No Child Left Behind has bonmbeunied
our school systems, causing both school officials and
teachers to lose sight of their goals " providing stu-
dents with a quality:education that ultimately leads to
the students obtaining a high school diploma.

Under theTNo Child Left Behind Act, state
schools are required to show both progress toward
higher standardized test scores and a higher rate of
high school graduation. HereTs the loophole " the
states set their own graduation target.

In order to make it appear that their schools are
making progress in both these criterions, states are
setting their graduation rates extremely low. North
Carolina currently has a graduation rate of 72 percent
and has decided they must improve this rate by a 0.1
percentage point every year. Sadly, it will take nearly
one hundred years for North Carolina to reach a gradu-
ation rate of 80 percent. Because No Child Left Behind
has school officials concerned with producing higher
test scores, states are basically turning a blind eye to
all the students who are dropping out.

- If there is going to be a national act, like No
Child Left Behind, the federal government should
_ set the graduation targets, not the states. Test scores
should not be the focus of AmericaTs-school sys-
tems. America needs to stop giving schools a pat
on the back for good test scores, when one in four
students is dropping out!

It is true that the school systems are pressured to
improve their test scores because of No Child Left
Behind, but is our nation so stupid that they canTt
see how many children are being left behind? Stop
focusing on the test scores and focus on the fact that
members of our youth are continuing to fall through
the cracks by not gaining a high school diploma.

North Carolina has received praise for its high
test scores, but if only 72 percent of their students
graduate, the test scores are irrelevant. Does no one
realize that 28 percent of students in North Carolina
are not graduating?

Not to mention, states have been getting a break
when it comes to the number of dropouts. Researchers
have only been figuring the amounts of students who
quit school in 12" grade. News flash: you can drop out
before 12" grade! If states canTt do a better job of pro-
ducing more high school graduates, then they shouldnTt
be in charge of setting the target graduation rate.

There is more than enough time for the federal
government to take a stand in order to make sure
that our-youth are fully benefiting from their edu-

cational experience. Stop focusing on test scores. -

Stop allowing states to set graduation targets that
are insanely low. Expect more from our students;
they need their education to make it in this world.

Reality shows:
death of television

MARY. DIXON
Tue East CAROLINIAN

Reality TV has officially invaded our lives. You
cannot turn on the television without seeing at least

one commercial for a reality show. What happened |

to scripted television? Has Hollywood really run
out of ideas that they rely strictly on the simple
nature of man? I find it outrageous that television
has become completely overrun by unimaginative |
reality shows.

Case in point: Seven oeoele entered a house
and were filmed to see what would happen when
people stopped being nice and started being real.?

Of course, ITm talking about the pilot season of .

MTVTs The Real World.? Back when this. aired
though, it wasnTt seen so much as reality TV, but
more as a documentary. The Real World? has
continued to air since its 1992 launch, but 10 years
later, the explosion of reality? has hit us. CBS
released Survivor? in 2002 and America lias never
looked back. |

Almost every channel has a reality show. They
range from romance to documenting a familyTs
life to a myriad of charm schools.? Our chan-
nel surfing has become based around whose life
we find more interesting. Some people canTt get
enough of Lauren Conrad and her catty adventures
on The Hills.? For those with a wild side and a
strong stomach, there is the Discovery ChannelTs
Man vs. Wild.? However, has anyone ever stopped
to think that maybe these so-called shows arenTt
really anything but the slow demobilization of
talent? Probably not. No thought at all goes into
these shows. Some are more interesting than others,
sure. But what has anyone gained by watching
Flavor Flav make out with more than 50 scandalous
women? Nothing.

In America, we pride ourselves with the fact
that someone in this country can go from rags to
riches. Nevertheless, the people who appear on
these reality shows arenTt doing anything out of
the ordinary or spectacular. At best theyT ve merely

sold themselves for however many episodes they
star in. However, most of the time they have sold
themselves for pseudo-fame; they arenTt even in
the business for the money. They are just taking
up time on a television show that lacks any sort of
actual creativity.

_ So, with our airwaves taken over by reality,
you have to wonder what happened to creativity
on television. ItTs awful that most shows have
no scripts, no actors and no talent. These people
make fools of themselves while America points
and laughs. I guess you get what you pay for:
absolutely nothing.

To my roommate whom I
havenTt seen in two weeks:
ITm going to start selling
your things if you donTt show
some sign of life in the next
48 hours.

I always wonder if people who
wear hats with tags plan to
return them... beware of the
greasy hat when buying.

So, they want to build a Wal-
Mart near the river and a trash
dump in a swampy area? That
sounds about right.

To the girl who keeps flash-
ing me in the bathroom: I act
annoyed but I kinda like it.

To the guy who got a new

Speedo: I thank the heavens
above that I donTt have to see
your back hair curling out
of it.

The shocker is not a substitute
for a handshake!

The other week I saw a squirrel
eating a Snickers bar. It actu-
ally peeled the wrapper back
and everything.

LetTs get Metallica or Coheed

and Cambria for Barefoot on

the Mall.

Why does my Biology 1100
teacher not know how to teach?
Why does he suck? Why God,
why?

OK, sol am the queen in this little

chess game, but in order to start,
you have to MAKE A MOVE!

I didnTt break up with you to
be mean, I just donTt love you
anymore... ouch.

If I am going to tutor on
campus with the PTC, I would

_ like to have a guaranteed park-

ing space instead of having to
park in metered parking.

A big truck and a built body
does not make up for your lack
of manhood. Sorry.

FORNICATOR!

How about those ECU March-

-ing Pirates?!?

IsnTt it weird when your coor-
dinator stalks you at Wal-
Mart?

My neighbor has lived here for _

three months and already has
eight parking tickets and has
been towed twice.

I hate when random girls try
to have a pee party? with me...
please go away.

They couldnTt have gotten
anyone better than the Back-
street Boys to sing the National
Anthem at game one of the
World Series. Go Phillies!

I go to the gym to get away and
relax. Then you show up with
your annoying voice and ruin
my entire night. Stay home or
shut up!

I miss a sailor.

My pit bull is going to be a
bumblebee for Halloween!
ArenTt you jealous?

My dream job is to read all the
Pirate Rants that are submitted.

The maintenance people came
knocking on my door while
I was having sex. I thought
if I did not answer the door,
they would not come in, but I
WAS WRONG. Sorry to the

maintenance person who had |

to see that.

To those bothered by the SRC
lifeguards: The deepest part is
four feet. Stand up!

Stop sending me e-mails about
my academic failures. You donTt
think I already know ITm not
doing so hot in three of my
classes? Sheesh!

To the guy who watches the
girl randomly walk down the
hill: Talk to her, that way it is

_less creepy and it might get

you somewhere.
What is a PirateTs favor-
ite subject in school?

ARRRGGGHH!

I cheated in one of my classes

You've been using the same
towel since school started.
Please wash it for once!

Stay away from my man. You're
not pretty and you're an annoy-
ing drunk. HeTs obviously not

ItTs going to take a lot more
than warm water to wash that
cereal bowl out...you are nasty.

Banner Self Service? sounds |

dirty.

I sat in front of a girl on the
brown bus today who clearly
likes to hear herself talk. Sorry
girl, youTre definitely not as
interesting or cool as you think
you are.

To the girl in my psychology
class: You ruin all your outfits
with your shoes. They never
match and are way tacky.

I have nothing against Obama
or McCain, but itTs their obnox-
ious supporters that make me
not want to vote for either
one. "

My roommate doesnTt wear
shower shoes.

A little bit of advice Mr. Virgin:
Get to know the person first
before you ask them to be your
girlfriend... you're creepy!

ITm voting green party this
year. Taking sides between

~Obama and McCain is like

picking between dumb and
dumber!

So what if youTre gay and you
have girls hit on you on the
drunk bus while you're driving.
Take it as a compliment and
shut your mouth!

Sometimes I feel like Pee Wee
Herman when I ride my bike.

I donTt get why some girls
wear short dresses and heels
to class like they are going to
the club. Then they. complain
about being cold! Wear some
clothes!

To the girl who sits in front
of me: QUIT putting on your
makeup in class. It doesnTt do
you justice.

Hey roommate! If youTre gonna
do it, please throw away your
wrappers in the trash. THANK
YOU!

ItTs kinda sad how OBSESSED
you are with your boyfriend.

To the owner of the pink Paul

Frank bike thatTs always parked "

outside the art building: I love
it, where did you get it?

I think we should tear down the
crappiest building on campus
and build a roller coaster in
its place.

To that one girl in Umstead:
Please stop trying so hard.
You are acting pathetic, and itTs
giving the rest of us girls here
a bad name.

To my neighbor at University
Manor who sings and plays
their guitar late at night: You
sound great! Serenade me,
please!

Is it bad that I laugh hys-
terically when people fall on
their bikes or skateboards on
campus?

I love that you write, I love

you? on my hand!

To the guy. who was mugged

_on Friday night on Fifth Street:

I was the one girls behind you
who called 911, just wanted to
make sure you were alright.

Could someone please tell

me why girls insist on look-

ing burnt orange when itTs
clearly cold outside and no
longer summer? Your fake
bake? is trashy and not cute
at all. Go pale like the rest

To the guy that came up to my
friend and I today and gave us
the awkward wave on Tuesday:
Next time, sit with us so you
donTt have to aimlessly walk

around the Plaza and Dowdy.

Wal-Marts

LARA OLIVER

Tue East CAROLINIAN

I have to give a great big thank you to the Wal-
Mart Corporation right now.

You see, ITve always enjoyed fighting through
crowds every weekend in the parking lot with the
highest crime rate in Greenville. And, ITve always
loved shopping in a store that manages to not
only smell of disinfectant but also human waste.
Between that and being yelled at by store employ-
ees for being in the way? and never being able to
truly know what the price of anything outside of a
$9.98 DVD is until I get to the register, going into
a Wal-Mart store is always such an adventure.

You see, my problem is that I donTt feel like I
have any kind of options--only being able to shop at
just one Wal-Mart in town. Now that thereTs going
to be two Wal-Marts within 15 minutes of each
other, I feel like ITve been transplanted to some
kind of metropolitan shopping paradise!

OK, so I was being a little bit sarcastic there.

Truth be told, I loathe Wal-Mart. I know, what
a surprise, right? But, I canTt see how anybody can
not be opposed to there being one--let alone two--
Wal-Marts inside their city limits.

I wonTt even bother trying to win any numbers

.to my side in the anti-Wal-Mart debate. If you

shop at Wal-Mart despite their cruel hiring/firing
practices, poor wages, lack of health insurance for
employees, questionable product origins, tricky
pricing to deceive consumers into paying mark-ups
for products they believe are cheaper and other
atrocities, then youTre probably not going to stop
shopping there just because an opinion columnist
at a local college paper doesnTt like them.

But, I can hope you wonTt shop at the second
Wal-Mart theyTre building in town and prove that
people will not be fooled.

_ Supporters of the second Wal-Mart say that with
a new Wal-Mart will bring new jobs. Yet, I never
hear of any of these supporters actually working at
a Wal-Mart. From reports online about the massive
turnover Wal-Mart participates in to avoid paying
health care, to itTs rare to non-existent pay raises,
ITm left wondering if people really think that a
three-month stint at Wal-Mart making minimum
wage is really worth it.

If you feel that a new Wal-Mart will make
shopping easier because the line is too long at the
current Wal-Mart, then donTt shop there anymore.
If youTre annoyed at the poor customer service,
then donTt shop there anymore. If youTre scared of
all the crime that happens after hours, then donTt
shop there anymore. Am I getting a little repeti-
tive here?

From reading the comments on the WITN Web
site, I see that many of the people annoyed most at
the building of the new Wal-Mart are citizens who

-will be living adjacent to its land. How can we say

that a store is really necessary if our own citizens
donTt want the store in their backyards?

Believe me, I used to live across the street from
the (I guess the term primary? would work here)
Wal-Mart. Between the pollution caused from
shoppers traveling from as far away as Greene Co.,
drug deals occurring behind the store and a shooting
aimed at an interracial couple in the parking lot, ITm
left wondering what cost people are willing to put
up with to save 30 cents on tooth paste. I suppose
the citizens of River Hills will find out soon.

Sex Drive

Stars: Clark Duke, Josh Zuker-
man, James Marsden

Synopsis
Based on the novel, All the

: Way by Andy Behrens, Ian Lafferty
: (Josh Zukerman) is an 18-year-old

virgin with girl problems. WhatTs
a boy to do? He finds a woman on
the Internet that shows him inter-
est. After a few conversations, she
(screenname: Ms. Tasty) decides
to invite him to her hometown,
but the eight-hour drive doesnTt
interest Lafferty. At least not until
Ms. Tasty says that, if you come
all the way here, I will go all the
way with you.?

To say the least, LaffertyTs
mind was made up for him.
Taking along his two best
friends, womanizer Lance (Clark
Duke) and Felicia (Amanda Crew),
Lafferty steals a 1969 GTO Judge
from his abusive and hostile older

: brother Rex, (James Marsden)

and begins the long journey for a
chance with Tasty. ,

_ Car trouble, bathroom break:
and hitchhikers take them all over
the place, leading to several mis-
haps and crazy scenarios.

The Good

Clark Duke finally has a star-
ring role. If you remember him
from the Clark and Michael Web
series, you'll know this is a long
overdue starring appearance. Duke
(Lance) is where most of the
comedy in Sex Drive lies. His witty
nature, along with his womanizing
ways was entertaining.

There was plenty of crude
humor, which is to be expected
from this type of film. However
the crudeness:was evened out with
sarcastic humor, especially with
the appearance of Seth Green, who
plays Ezekiel, an Amish farmer
with an expertise in vintage cars. .

The Bad

Josh ZukermanTs character
Lafferty looked too familiar. Then
I realized that he is Jim Levenstein
from American Pie. With the same
awkwardness of relationships
and sex, Lafferty finds himself
in the same embarrassing sexual
situations, including one where his

THE East CAROLINIAN

Something very disturb-
ing caught my eye on a trip
down U.S. 264 East earlier
this year. On my way back
into Greenville, I passed a
billboard just outside of Pitt
County celebrating ASUTs
most recent national champi-
onship victory. -

Was this really Mountain-
eer memorabilia residing in

I could only hope there was
similar sign in Watauga
County reminding those in
the western part of the state
of a certain ECU triumph in
the Hawaii Bowl over media
darling Boise State.

curiosity and bragging rights,
I say bring the Mountaineers
on. LetTs see how far their
program has really come.
Over the past four years,
ITve cringed when listening
to local fans compare ASUTs
team to ECUTs, entertain the
idea of a top-25 ranking for
the Mountaineers or argue that
quarterback Armanti Edwards
is Heisman-worthy.
ASU has built quite pos-
sibly the best program in

The Mountaineers have been

quaking in its boots.

Beside the curiosity factor,

dates back to 1932. The two

~ TUESDAY OCTOBER 28, 2008

ig

Because of a scheduling conflict with N.C. State, ECU recently
added Appalachian State to its 2009 football schedule.

When the two teams meet in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Sept.
5, it will be ECUTs first game against a Division I-AA opponent
since hosting William & Mary in 2001. The Mountaineers have
the best program in I-AA however, with three-straight national
championships and a season-opening win at Michigan

in 2007.

So was this a good decision? Assistant sports editor Jared
Jackson says no. Senior sports writer Kellen Holtzman says
yes. What do you think? Go to theeastcarolinian.com and state

your case.

JARED JACKSON
THE East CAROLINIAN

When I first heard of next
seasonTs Sept. 5 game between
ECU and Appalachian State,
only one thought came to my
mind: why?

Of course, the Mountain-
eers have had a great run over
the course of the last three sea-
sons in winning three-straight
Division I-AA National Cham-
pionships (perhaps a fourth on
the way), but when it comes
down to it, what exactly does
an ECU-App. State game do
for the Pirates? Not much in
my opinion.

Most people know the
Mountaineers not for their '
titles but for their giant killer
status. In 2007, ASU opened
the season by beating Michi-
gan at the Big House, 34-32,
in one of the biggest upsets in
college football history.

ECU is certainly not on
the same level as a program
like Michigan, so a loss to
the Mountaineers wouldnTt
be as degrading as what the
WolverineTs suffered, but it
wouldnTt be far off.

Not that I expect ECU to
lose, because I fully believe
we will win: However, if
the Pirates win against the
Mountaineers then they were
supposed to, but if they lose »
then it is simply a devastating
and quite embarrassing early
season loss.

ItTs alose-lose situation for
the. Pirates. in many regards.

If itTs an ECU win then
itTs simply another W in the
win column, but a loss could
prove fatal for the rest of the
season and especially hard to
overlook for Bowl representa-
tives when theyTre looking for
participants; no matter how
the Pirates would finish out
the season.

_ What would you rather
have if youTre a Bowl repre-
sentative, a team that has a loss
to Appalachian State or a team
that has taken a beating at the

ROBYN CATES | THE EAST CAROLINIAN

Senior Jasmine Young (3) will be relied upon again this season.

HART HOLLOMAN

Tue East CAROLINIAN

The ECU womenTs basket-
ball team officially started prac-
tice last week, and this year they
look hungry to challenge for the

Conference USA title and a berth

in the NCAA tournament. They |

open the season Nov. 14 when
they will host Hampton Uni-
versity, and rest assured, these
Pirates will be ready to play.
This yearTs squad will be
led by senior guards Jasmine

Young and LaCoya Terry, both
preseason All-Conference selec-
tions. Their talent and experi-
ence was ~highlighted by Head
Coach Sharon. Baldwin-Tener.

Our strength is definitely »

our guard play with Jasmine and
LaCoya,? said Baldwin-Tener. I

think we have a lot of experienceT

there and a lot of talent there.?
Baldwin-Tener was also
quick to point out other areas of
the team that she will be count-
ing on to produce good results.
We also have Allison Spivey
out on the wing; sheTs come
along very well,? she said.
This year, the Lady Pirates
will try to balance out an attack

that too many times last season "

became one-dimensional. Young
and Terry both averaged more
than 34 minutes per game last
year as well as being the only
two players to average double
figures in scoring. Add in that
the two also led the team in
assists, and the picture is starting
to get a little clearer.
However, finding produc-
tion from other areas of the
court could happen with more
frequency this season. Spivey
and senior Gabriela Husarova
are experienced and active wing

players who can also oniitatié
with passing and scoring from
the high post.

But the Achilles heel of the
~team remains the lack of a domi-

nant low post presence.

' The biggest question mark
for us is our post players and
what theyTre going to do,? Bald-
win-Tener said.

Despite the lack of experi-
ence, Baldwin-Tener was opti-
mistic about the progress her
post players have made since
last season.

Our post players avi really
conditioned very hard over the
last year,? she said. WeTve
really tried to get in better shape
on the inside. WeTve also been
working on their technique as
well as physical and mental
toughness.

WeTve got to get better both
defensively and offensively on

the inside and I think this past

year has helped our post players
gain a lot of experience that is
going to help us this season.?
The Lady Pirates are cer-
tainly trying to improve on
last seasonTs finish; a mediocre
seventh in the conference and
first round exit in the confer-
ence tournament will not do this

season as Baldwin-Tener and her
players look to win big.

Every year as a team itTs
our goal to go to the postsea-
son and this year is no differ-
ent,? Baldwin-Tener said. We
want to win the conference
regular season and tournament,

and we want to make it to the

NCAA tournament.?

And this season she believes
the team has the talent to accom-
plish those goals.

T think our talent has gone
up since last year,? she said. I
think we are deeper and certainly
the incoming freshmen have

helped that. We have a very

talented squad and they should

play very well this season.?

ECU has a good chance
to finish in the top half of the
standings and may advance one
or two rounds into the confer-
ence tournament, but their lack
of skill and experience in the
frontcourt could hinder their
success this year. Young and
Terry will get a lot of atten-
tion, but the Lady Pirates will
have to find other players who
can win games.

ECU volleyball ends losing streak

ECU SID

After putting forth strong
efforts but falling short in its
last two matches, the ECU vol-
leyball team turned the corner
and got the victory it was look-
ing for on Sunday inside Minges
Coliseum. The Pirates downed
SMU 3-2 (13-25, 25-22, 16-
25, 25-23, 15-13). With the
win, ECU improves to 12-14
overall, including 2-9 in Con-
ference USA action. SMU falls
to 12-13 overall and 4-7 in the
conference. The win also halts
a 10 match losing streak for
ECU, as the team had not won
since defeating Morgan State
on Sept. 20, and is the first for
the Pirates in a five-set match
this season.

Play in the first set resulted
in a 3-3 tie before SMU was able
to gain a five-point advantage at
10-5. The Mustangs went on to
double the PiratesT score at 12-
6, 16-8 and 20-10 before a late
ECU rally made the final score
25-13 in favor of SMU. Hannah
Fenker led the offense with two

kills while Trish Monroe paced _

the defense with six digs.

The second set went much
more the way of the hosts.
After trailing the Mustangs
3-1 to begin, ECU forced a
4-4 tie before taking a 12-5
lead. SMU answered the Pirate

surge, winning seven of the .

next eight points to close the
gap to just two points at 13-11
before forcing a deadlock at 15.
The match was also knotted at
16, 17, 18 and 19 points each,

after which the Pirates took a

narrow 21-19 advantage. ECU
held onto the slim lead for the
rest of the set and won 25-22.
Melissa Zentner and Katie Prast
each finished the set with four
kills, while Lizzy Bruin tallied
three. Monroe kept up her fine
defensive play, digging out
seven more balls.

ECU found itself down
early in the third set, 5-0, but
fought back to trail by just one,
6-5. The teams alternated points
and SMU led 11-10 until win-
ning six of the next eight points
to establish a five-point lead,
17-12. The Mustangs continued
to push points, going on an 8-4
run to close out the set, winning
25-16. The Pirates managed just
four kills total in the set and





hit--.216. Monroe again led
the defense with four digs and
Amanda Lutzow also picked
up three.

A tight score was how the
fourth set started, as the larg-
est lead either team held at the
start of the set was three points
by SMU at 7-4. The Mustangs
extended their advantage to
four at 10-6 before ECU made a
comeback. The Pirates fought to
tie the score at 11 before taking
a two-point lead of their own
at 15-13. SMU. answered the
Pirate rally, knotting the score
at 17 points each. After a 19-19

score, a Zentner kill gave the
Pirates a lead they would not
let go of, despite the Mustangs
closing to within one at 24-23.
A Bruin and Fenker block gave
ECU the final point it needed in
winning the set 25-23. Zentner
pounded down five kills in the
set and Erica Banning recorded
three while Monroe and Fenker
tied for the lead in digs with
five each.

In the final set the score
was tied at points one through
nine until ECU won three points
in a row to grab a slim 12-9
advantage. SMU won the next

point to make the score 12-10,
but ECU responded by again
winning back-to-back points,
establishing a 14-10 lead. Not
giving in, the Mustangs took
two points of their own to make
the score 14-13 in favor of the
hosts. One final kill by Bruin
gave the Pirates the last point
and the set victory, 15-13.

It was indeed a team effort
for the Pirates in the match as
Zentner was the only player to
record double-digit kills, with
12. Bruin and Prast each tallied
eight and nine of the 11 players
in the match that recorded at

least one kill. Monroe finished
her day with 23 digs and is now
in fifth-place on the Conference
USA digs in a career leader-
board. She has now recorded
1,761 digs over her four-year
career. Katie Koop also finished
with 10 digs and 40 assists,
giving her two double-dou-
bles on the season. Bruin also
helped the defense, collecting
seven total blocks, including
four solos.

ECU takes a break pitil

Friday, when it resumes play
with a match at UAB. First
serve is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Ties improve ECUTs chance for title

Senior Nicole Moore (above) had two assists in ECUTs pivotal tie with Memphis on Sunday.

ECU SID

The ECU soccer team
earned a 3-3 tie with defending
Conference USA champion
Memphis on Sunday at Bun-
ting Field, getting scores from
three different players to remain
unbeaten in the league. The
PiratesT second-consecutive
draw pushes their record to 11-
3-4 overall and 6-0-4 in confer-
ence play while the Tigers are
now 11-4-2 on the season and
7-2-1 in C-USA.

| The tie means that ECU can
clinch no worse than a share of
the league title with a win over

Marshall at Bunting Field on .

Friday. The Pirates could also
earn the championship outright
with a win and a Memphis loss
or tie at UAB on Thursday. ECU
would also take the No. 1 seed
with a win Friday due to earning
two ties against UCF and Colo-
rado College while the Tigers

lost to both of those squads.

Memphis is a team that
has great possession and is very
dangerous offensively,? said
ECU coach Rob Donnenwirth.
Give our ladies credit though
because we battled and stuck
to our game plan very well.
We will put this behind and
get ready for another impor-
tant game against sath
on Friday.?

Memphis dominated posses-
sion throughout the game and
recorded eight straight shots to
begin the contest. However, it
was sophomore Bailey Wilcox
who put the Pirates ahead in the

30th minute. Freshman Amanda
Malkiewicz took a run down

the right side of the field and
slipped a ball past the defense,
which found Wilcox, who pow-
ered the ball into the net past
Tiger keeper Jordan Boyle for
her first goal of the season.
Memphis would equalize just
a minute and a half later, when
Elizabeth Hildebrandt crossed
the ball from the right side and

found the head of Krista Turner, |

who put it into the back of the

net past a diving ECU keeper,

senior Amber Campbell.
Despite added pressure, the

Tigers could not score for the

remainder of the stanza as the
game balanced, 1-1 at halftime.
Memphis out-shot the Pirates
14-2 in the first half while fouls
were even at four.

A duo of corners won by
ECU in the first 10 minutes of
the second interval proved valu-

game,?

able, as senior Blair Heffner and
sophomore Amanda Broz both
beat Boyle, three minutes apart,
to give the Pirates a 3-1 lead.
Senior Nicole Moore picked up
an assist on.both plays.

Eleven minutes later, the
Tigers rallied, scoring goals by
Kylie Hayes and Lizzy Simo-
nin, just five minutes apart to
even the contest at 3-3 and send
it to overtime. The shot margin
was much closer in the second
half, as Memphis unleashed
eight shots as compared to
five for ECU.

The Tigers had a great
chance to end the game in the
first overtime period, but Simo-
nin hit the crossbar and was
unable to get to the rebound as
the Pirate defense cleared.

On Friday, ECU rallied
twice to earn a valuable point
on the road as it tied UAB,

-2-2,, at West Campus Field in

Birmingham.
The tie ensured that the
Pirates will end the season

unbeaten on the road in C-USA,

a program first. __

UAB scored quickly, receiv-
ing a strike from Laura McCalla
in the eighth minute to put ECU
behind for the first time in con-
ference play, a span of eight
games. However, the Pirates
would equalize 11 minutes later
when junior Alexis Foltz scored
her team-leading fifth goal in
C-USA matches, an unassisted
tally that tied the match at 1-1.

This. was a hard fought
Donnenwirth said.

TRAVIS BARTLETT |















THE EAST CAROLINIAN

UAB played with a lot of
energy and emotion and we
battled hard for the tie. Madison
scored a great goal to tie it up
and Amber came up with some
big saves.?

The Blazers out-shot ECU
8-4 in the first half while also
committing more fouls, 5-
2. Pirate netminder Amber
Campbell came up with three
saves as opposed to her counter-
partTs two.

ECU allowed UAB eight
consecutive shots to begin the
second stanza and the Blazers
capitalized on the eighth chance
when Tiffini Turpin scored to
put her side in front, 2-1. It is the
first time that the Pirates have
allowed more than one goal in
conference play. Just when it
looked like ECU would be sent
home empty-handed, a senior
stepped up and gave the Pirates
new life. Just six minutes after
the Blazers went ahead, Madi-
son Keller took a ball from
fellow senior Savanna Russo
and buried it into the back of
the net, evening the score line
at two.

Each squad recorded four
shots in the overtime, but none
of the chances found their mark
as the contest ended at 2-2.
UAB sorely out-shot ECU 23-9
while Campbell made a season-
high 12 saves.

ECU closes out the regular
season on Halloween Friday, as
it takes on Marshall at Bunting
Field. The contest is scheduled
for 3 p.m.

NO continued from 7

hands of Oklahoma? Which is
exactly my next point.

Before. the ECU-ASU pair-
ing was made public, rumors
swirled on Internet message
boards and the radio that ECU
and Oklahoma had a deal in place
where the Pirates would travel to
Norman, OK next seasonT and
the Sooners would travel to

~Greenville in 2013..One of the

reasons this deal supposedly fell
though is because ECU Athletics
Director Terry Holland believed
that Oklahoma would write a
large sum check in 2013 and say

thanks but no thanks, leaving

the Pirates with another void in
the schedule.

I believe that if you have the
chance to play a program like
Oklahoma you should jump on
it. ItTs not everyday that you get
a chance to travel to one of the

nationTs truly elite college foot-

~ball programs and get a chance

at knocking them off- albeit a
small one.

However, even a Joss for
ECU would be beneficial in
the long term given the certain
media attention the game would

attract after the PiratesT huge.
upsets to begin this year. Then

if they were to play well against

the Sooners, ECU would have

momentum to build upon to
carry them the rest of the season.
The mentality of, Well, we lost
but we hung with them so we can
play with anybody in the nation?
could set in.

Another reason why: the
Oklahoma deal didnTt happen

is that it wouldTve taken away a

home game for the 2009 season.

All of ECUTs non-conference |

games would be against BCS

opponents, with three being on
the road. The Pirates would have
to play at Oklahoma, at North

- Carolina and at West Virginia,

with the only non-conference
home game being Virginia Tech.
While that is certainly a tall task,
it is what the Pirate program must .
do in order to one day hopefully

~jump in a BCS conference.

When it comes down to it,
the ECU-ASU matchup is just
not a good one for the Pirate
program. It attracts vitually no

_ media attention outside the state

of North Carolina and at the
end of the day ECU has either
won or lost against an inferior
program.

. This is not the way that
Holland and ECU coach Skip
Holtz have wanted to build the
program the last four years " so
why start now?

YES continued from 7

some no-name school from the
depths of I-AA. This is an in-

state rival that has a winning

record against our program.

Throughout its low profile
history, ECU can relate to being
avoided by other schools because
of fear by the other party. ASU
has earned the right to be able to
play I-A schools in its home state
and beyond.

One of the pros of sched- 7

uling home-and-home series
against teams like Virginia Tech
and West Virginia is selling out

- Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

The Fick? might not reach
full capacity against ASU, but it
will certainly come close. This
game will have the second-best
atmosphere of the home season,
next to the Virginia Tech game.

The Mountaineers are well

known for packing Kidd-Brewer
Stadium in Boone and should

easily fill the Dowdy visitors sec-

tion with black"not to mention
the countless ASU students who
will undoubtedly find their way
into the ECU student section for
the east versus west battle.

Next season, ECU is already
scheduled to face Virginia Tech
at home and West Virginia and
North Carolina on the road.
Adding a fourth top-25 caliber

team would do the Pirates no |
favors, especially if that game "

was played on the road.

ECU stands a much better .

chance of getting a win against
the Mountaineers in Greenville
than say, beating Oklahoma in

~ Norman, Ok.

At some point, ECU needed

to start scheduling games it

could legitimately expect to win.
ASU is no pushover, but this is a
game the Pirates = to expect
to win.

TulsaTs Grecia enee
schedule this season consists of
North Texas, New Mexico, Cen-
tral Arkansas and Arkansas. That ©
kind of schedule is getting them a
step closer to a BCS game.

ITm not saying ECU
should follow suit, but one less
matchup against a powerhouse
wonTt hurt.

What does ECU stand to gain
by playing this game? A win. The
Pirates have the same thing to
lose in this game as they do any
other. If ECU canTt beat ASU on
its home turf, the team is facing
more problems than whether
or not the game should have
been scheduled.
