Eagles fly away in 2nd half

From staff and electronic reports

Winthrop quickly expanded a three-point halftime margin and went on to pull away from East Carolina for a 69-50 victory Thursday night in Greenville.

The outcome improved the Eagles to 9-3 on the season and extended ECU's losing skid to five games. After winning four of their first five games, the Pirates have mired down and are now 4-6 heading into a week-long layoff before facing N.C. State in Raleigh next Thursday (7 p.m.)

Michael Jenkins scored 19 points to pace Winthrop. Torrell Martin added 15 points for the Eagles, while 10 points apiece were contributed by Craig Bradshaw and Taj McCullough. Bradshaw also had a game-high eight rebounds.

Darrell Jenkins and Sam Hinnant led the Pirates with 12 points each.

As it has in many of its recent games, East Carolina suffered from poor shooting. The Pirates made 33.3 percent of their field goal attempts, including only 18.8 percent from three-point range.

Winthrop converted 47.5 percent from the field, 25.9 percent from behind the arc.

The Eagles led at the half 25-22.
