---------------------------------ECU 60 NCSU 75------------------------------
NC State outlasts East Carolina in rivalry game.
North Carolina State and East Carolina are seperated by 75 or so miles, and whenever these two teams meet up it is always intense.
Last year, ECU upset the struggling Wolfpack to continue the teams woes, so NC State had revenge on their mind when the two teams met at the RBC Center on this cold December night.
East Carolina and NC State swapped the lead back and forth in the beginning of the game. But after 16 minutes or so, the Wolfpack began to pull away.
This game was a big team effort as NC State's leading scorer only had 13 points.
"We had to pick it up from the last loss. Glad to see the whole team did well." said senior captain Courtney Fells.
