East Carolina dominated Coastal Carolina in a lopsided 38-0 shutout at Brooks Stadium, with quarterback Katin Houser connecting twice with Yannick Smith for touchdowns. The Pirates built an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter before pulling away with 28 second-half points, including three rushing touchdowns from different ball carriers. The Chanticleers struggled throughout, failing to find any offensive rhythm as the Pirates' defense delivered a complete performance on the road.
