Greenville, NC (My Sportsbook) - East Carolina University announced Friday the signing of head baseball coach Billy Godwin to a three-year contract extension through the 2014 season. Godwin assumed the head coaching duties in the fall of 2005 following a short stint as an assistant. Under his tutelage, the Pirates have gone 161-90 and made three consecutive NCAA Regional appearances. "Coach Godwin's teams have achieved a great deal of success on the baseball field, but just as importantly, he and his program have embraced both East Carolina University's values and Coach Keith LeClair's vision for ECU Baseball," said athletic director Terry Holland. "The coaching staff and players represent the best of intercollegiate athletics in all they do and make us proud every time they take the field. We are pleased to do everything we can to keep Billy Godwin as our coach -- he is a perfect fit for this institution." |
