East Carolina Overwhelms Furman Friday

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The East Carolina lacrosse team dominated the Furman Paladins to the tune of 18-5 on Friday afternoon in Paladin Stadium.

The Pirates (5-1) got off to a hot start thanks to a first-quarter hat trick by Leah Bestany and never really looked back against a reeling Furman (0-3) squad. Erin Gulden scored back-to-back free position goals in the second quarter before Bestany added her fourth and assisted a Frances Kimel buzzer-beating goal to bring a 10-4 margin into halftime.

The team picked up right where they left off in the second half, attaining a running clock with just over 10 minutes to play in the third quarter.
