GREENVILLE, N.C. ­- Jayda Hylton-Pelaia and Kim Sanford both netted their first goals of the season for ECU as the Pirates defeated Campbell 2-0 Thursday night at Johnson Field.
 
In the 19^th minute, Hylton-Pelaia notched her first goal of the season with a shot eom the top of the box to the bottom right corner to put the Pirates on the board first.
 
Kim Sanford closed the book on the night with a goal on a breakaway where she fired the ball into the lower corner for the score.

"ECU is a very good team, theyre having a great year and do a great job breaking teams down. Overall I am proud of our team. We found our identity in the second half. We applied ourselves and saw success in areas against a good team. I know our girls are feeling confident about that," said head coach Samar Azem. 
 
ECU (4-1-2) was able to fire off 27 shots to Campbell's nine and was able to put 14 on frame to Campbell's four. Campbell (1-5) drew five fouls on the Pirates and drew with the Pirates in corners with five each.

"We still have to learn. We defended in our half too much in the first half we gave up two preventable goals but we saw a lot of positive flashes today.  Erin has been consistent. Our younger players are playing with more confidence and awareness. Alexa did great to hit the crossbar and Rosie narrowly missed one off the post, either go in and it's a 1-1 game, things are different," Azem continued. 
 
Melanie Stiles picked up the win in goal after recording four saves on nine shots faced over the full 90 minutes.
 
Erin Scott continued to rack up big save numbers with a 12 save performance featuring six in each half over 90 minutes of action and 27 shots faced.
