East Carolina will make its first-ever trip to Connecticut
where it will battle the Huskies in an American Athletic Conference matchup at
Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field on Friday beginning at 7 p.m.
The Pirates will try to bounce back from a 24-14 home league setback suffered
against No. 22 Temple last week, while at the same time, attempt to extend its
AAC road win streak to two straight when they meet UConn. The Huskies, who
opened the 2015 campaign with a 2-0 mark, will enter the contest having dropped
five of their last six contests - including recent back-to-back divisional
losses to USF and Cincinnati. ECU, which is playing for the ninth consecutive
week, are the owners of a 1-3 overall road record this season.
