GREENVILLE, N.C. – Looking for revenge over the Pirates of East Carolina University, the Memphis Tiger women's basketball team made the trip out to North Carolina. A hot fourth quarter from the Memphis offense would give them their first win in Greenville since the 2016 season with the 61-53 final.
Following tonight's game, Memphis moves to 12-8 overall and 4-3 in American Athletic Conference play.
The Pirates got out to a quick start gaining a 14-6 lead after six consecutive points. Jamirah Shutes would ignite the Memphis offense after a three-pointer from the corner started a 7-0 run to put the Tigers within one.
