Khalif Mitchell relishes win against UNC

Posted Sep 9, 2007

No Pirate may have enjoyed East Carolina's 34-31 victory over UNC more than defensive lineman Khalif Mitchell. Mitchell is no stranger to the Tar Heels. He spent his freshman season with North Carolina before transferring to the Pirates. That made Saturday's victory all the more sweeter. "It was great," Mitchell said. "I was going up against a lot of guys that I learned from." (Greenville Daily Reflector)
