The Pirates went on the road to Old Dominion for their first AAC game and won a defensive slugfest 7-5. They backed it up with an impressive win over Vanderbilt in which they outscored the Commodores 7-2 in the 3rd quarter after being tied at halftime. The 15-10 victory makes ECU one of two teams still unbeaten in AAC play, and with only the top four teams qualifying for the conference tournament it can&#8217;t be over stated how important the hot start has been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pirates have five more games this season four of which are against league opponents.
