After the 18-7 loss at home in East Carolina University’s first ever lacrosse game in Johnson Stadium on Saturday, the Pirates have been able to reflect well on their historic game despite the outcome.
Through constant drizzle during most of the game, fans came out to support the players in their inaugural match. All 584 fans cheered on freshman Casey Sullivan as she made the teams first ever goal in the opening minutes of the game.
“I thought Casey played great. I thought Casey played with a lot of heart, hustle and determination. I also think she had a good fire,” head coach Amanda Barnes said.
