Duncanson’s pick-6 ignites East Carolina in 20-17 victory against Old Dominion
In a thrilling contest, East Carolina triumphed over Old Dominion with a final score of 20-17 on Saturday. Quarterback Emory Williams delivered a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jason Dickinson, igniting a 13-point Eastern offensive surge. East Carolina then evened the game at 17 after a fumble recovery touchdown by the Pirates' defense.
The Pirates' star player, Ayden Duncanson, sealed the victory with a stunning 67-yard interception return for a touchdown, putting the game in doubt for Old Dominion. Despite a valiant effort from Old Dominion, led by Devin Roche's 102 rushing yards and a score, and Quinn Henicle's 73 yards and touchdown, East Carolina's defense proved too formidable, securing their first win of the season.
East Carolina now looks forward to hosting NC Central next Saturday, while Old Dominion prepares to host James Madison.
