HUNTINGTON, W.Va.-- East Carolina used a balanced offensive attack Saturday to pull away from Marshall in the second half en route to a 37-10 victory in Greenville, N.C.
The Conference USA leading-Pirates (5-2, 4-0) gained 190 yards on the ground with 110 of those yards coming courtesy of senior running back Jon Williams who scored on a 29-yard touchdown run late in the first half to give the Pirates a 17-10 lead.
Marshall (1-6, 0-3) had possession of the ball longer than East Carolina, but was hampered in the first half by three interceptions thrown by senior quarterback Brian Anderson. East Carolina scored 17 of their 20 first half points off Marshall turnovers.
Anderson went 27 for 47 through the air for 217 yards for Marshall. He connected with junior receiver Troy Evans on a nine-yard pass for the Thundering Herd’s only touchdown midway through the second quarter.
The Thundering Herd defense was led by redshirt freshman cornerback Monterius Lovett who had nine tackles and sophomore safety Donald Brown who had eight tackles and forced East Carolina’s only turnover, an interception with 2:15 to go in the first quarter.
East Carolina junior quarterback Dominique Davis completed 23 of his 39 passes for 208 yards and two touchdown strikes to receivers Lance Lewis and Mike Price. Davis also ran for 26-yard touchdown to start the second half for the Pirates.
East Carolina scored 27 unanswered points to account for the final margin of victory.
“You have to give East Carolina credit,” Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said in his post-game press conference. “They went in at halftime and made some adjustments and we had a hard time stopping them in the second half. I thought in the first half we got by with some things and slowed them down a bit.”
Marshall returns home for a cross-divisional matchup against the UTEP Miners on October 30. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.

A United Way of the River Cities executive said the agency will shift from its traditional focus of fundraising to increasing the number of people who donate to the organization.
“Fundraising was the end...until about 15 years ago when we (United Way) looked at ourselves and thought maybe we’re not being as effective as we thought we were”, said Laura Gilliam, executive director of the United Way.
Gilliam spoke in front of 100 Marshall University faculty and students Thursday in a luncheon hosted by the SGA and Faculty Senate in the John Marshall room of the Student Center.
In the past the United Way had been only a fundraising vehicle for other organizations throughout the community. “Our focus has been transitioning from a very transactional organization, to an organization that really is looking at what are the major problems and what can we be doing to address the root cause of those problems”, said Gilliam.
The United Way has pinpointed 4 “focus areas” to improve on the aforementioned problems. Learning and earning is a point that focuses on students who leave high school without a diploma as well as adults who lack basic life skills. Health and wellness is concerned with childhood obesity and substance abuse with in the community.
Another area, families and children, is concerned with decreasing unemployment and providing children with positive interaction inside and outside of the home. Basic needs and unforeseen hardships focus on giving independence to individuals who are chronically dependent on community agencies as well as accounting for rare scenarios.
The United Way determines areas of need through community needs assessments and data collected over a period of a year by volunteers.
The United Way remains diligent in its activities to decrease dropout rate, stop childhood obesity and in other areas such as substance abuse, early learning and financial stability. They partner with other organizations in the area to achieve those goals.
“The United Way judges success not by how much money we raise, but by how we achieve the goals that we set,” said Gilliam.
Gilliam said her and the director of resource development and marketing, Cassey Bowden, look to increase the donor base for the organization by 15 percent because they feel it helps them raise the funds they need to improve the community and achieve their goals.
