East Carolina University Athletic Director Jon Gilbert announced on Wednesday that assistant women’s basketball coach Nicole Mealing will fulfill head coaching duties for the rest of the season.

Interim head coach Chad Killinger, who led the Pirates to a convincing 9-2 record in his first season as the head coach, the team’s best start in the past six seasons, is taking a leave of absence to deal with a non-life threatening health issue that came after a recent medical evaluation.
