CORSICANA, Texas – East Central University put a loud exclamation point on what has been one of the school's most successful football seasons with a 38-21 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville. The two teams matched up in the fifth annual Fun Town RV Heritage Bowl in Corsicana, Texas.
ECU, playing in its seventh bowl game in history, won for the first time since 1960, beating Henderson State in the Rice Bowl, 35-7. The nine wins are the most for the Tigers since the 1993 season when the team won 10 on its way to the NAIA Championship.
"We started fast and took care of business," Head Coach Kris McCullough said. "I couldn't be happier for our university and our great alumni to be part of a historic season and see how far we have come."
ECU dominated the game with a 17-0 first quarter and built its margin to 31 points with a 38-7 lead midway through the third. Kingsville scored a pair of late touchdowns to close the margin to 38-21.
