The month kicks off with the LeClair Classic finale against Western Carolina, but the real test comes on March 6-8 when ECU travels to Conway, South Carolina, for a three-game road series against #6-ranked Coastal Carolina. This is one of the toughest assignments of the year—Coastal is always a powerhouse, and winning even one game in that environment would be huge. Later in the month, American Conference play officially begins with a home series against UAB (March 20-22), followed by a challenging road trip to San Antonio to face UTSA.

The homestand against Wichita State (April 17-19) and South Florida (April 24-26) will be vital for conference standings. Mixed in are rivalry games against Duke and NC State—the April 14 home game versus the Wolfpack and the April 28 trip to Raleigh are always circled on the calendar.

By the end of April, ECU’s tournament resume will be largely written. The Tulane series is especially important—New Orleans is a tough place to play, and Tulane has been competitive in the American. The two home series (Wichita State and South Florida) give the Pirates a chance to bank crucial conference wins in front of their home fans.
May 2026: Final Push and Conference Tournament
Month Highlight: May is crunch time. The regular season winds down with road trips to Memphis (May 1-3) and Florida Atlantic (May 14-16), sandwiched around a home series against Rice. After a final midweek tune-up against Campbell on May 12, the Pirates head to Clearwater, Florida, for the American Conference Tournament (May 19-24). This is where conference champions are crowned, and NCAA Tournament bids are secured. Every game in May carries extra weight.

|---|---|---|
| May 1 (Fri) | at Memphis (American Conference) | Memphis, Tenn. |
