Bookmark and Share

A tough nonconference schedule has ECU traveling to the mountains and the Triangle this fall. The Pirates open with Appalachian State on Sept. 5 and travel to UNC on Sept. 19.

N.C. State and Wake Forest are missing from ECU's nonconference schedule, but in their place, the Pirates — Conference-USA champions in 2008 — will take on two-time defending ACC champion Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

The Hokies travel to Greenville on Thursday, Nov. 5. ECU goes to West Virginia on Sept. 12.

The C-USA schedule, which includes home dates with Southern Miss, Rice, UAB and Central Florida, will be released later this month.
