Tuesday, Dec. 6
East Carolina 67, Maryland Eastern Shore 41 - Box Score

GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina women's basketball team defeated the Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks 67-41 on Tuesday in Minges Coliseum. Three Pirates scored in double figures and Danae McNeal registered six steals as the team once again used their defense to key a victory.

The first half was one to forget for both teams with only 42 points scored combined as the Pirates (7-3) took a six point lead into the halftime break. The lead could have been greater, however, as East Carolina held the Hawks (3-8) to only four points in the first quarter.
