GREENVILLE, N.C. - Jake Verity kicked a 38-yard field goal with 46 seconds left to give East Carolina a 37-35 win over Old Dominion Saturday evening in Greenville.
The Pirates had first down on the ODU 24 when Justice Davila looked like he sealed the game for the Monarchs with an interception, but the play was ruled incomplete. Three plays later Verity kicked the game-winner.
Blake LaRussa was sacked on the final two plays of the game by ECU to end the game.
The Monarchs took their first lead of the game with 9:18 left in the fourth quarter on a 49-yard touchdown pass from LaRussa to Isaiah Harper, and LaRussa hit Keion White on the two-point attempt for a 35-28 lead.
