GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Anthony Scott scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:49 left to help East Carolina beat North Carolina State 33-30 on Saturday.
Scott finished with 90 total yards and two scores for the Pirates (2-0), who won their sixth straight game against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents dating to the 2013 season. James Summers also ran for two scores, the second a 15-yarder that saw him dragging tacklers into the end zone in the third quarter.
The Wolfpack (1-1) had a final chance for the tie. But Ryan Finley's 21-yard pass over the middle to Bra'Lon Cherry killed the final seconds to seal ECU's win.
