The University of North Texas Mean Green women’s basketball team delivered a commanding performance on Tuesday night, February 7th, securing an emphatic 87-63 victory over East Carolina Pirates at The Super Pit. This triumph extends their remarkable unbeaten streak in American Conference home games to a program-record 12 consecutive wins.
Senior forward Megan Nestor, a former Saint Lucia national netball player, anchored the team’s success with her conference-leading seventh double-double of the season, contributing 14 points and hauling in 17 rebounds. This performance marks her second consecutive double-double and her fifth game this season with 15 or more rebounds, placing her tied for the national lead in that category.
The offensive firepower was demonstrated by junior guard Aysia Proctor, who set a new career high with a game-leading 24 points. The backcourt duo of Chania Price and Mekhia Chase each added 12 points, also achieving new personal scoring records. Price further distinguished herself by securing her first career double-double with 10 rebounds.
Facing an East Carolina squad (10-6, 2-1 American) that entered the contest on a six-game winning streak and undefeated in conference play, North Texas delivered what coaches described as their most complete performance of the season. The victory maintains North Texas’s perfect 5-0 all-time record against the Pirates.
Hailing from the fishing village of Canaries and an alumna of Soufriere Comprehensive Secondary School, the 6-foot-4 Nestor continues to dominate the conference rankings, currently leading in both overall rebounding and offensive rebounding while ranking just outside the top ten in scoring.
