Home contests are bolded *Denotes ECAC West contest # East-West Classic in Northfield, VT $ Cardinal-Panther Classic in Plattsburgh, NY
The Soaring Eagles opened their 2014-15 campaign with a pair of wins at the East-West Classic. EC defeated then-No. 2 Norwich University, 3-2, in a rematch of last year’s NCAA Quarterfinal game, then followed that up with a 6-0 drubbing of Manhattanville College. This is the first time since the 2009-10 season that an Elmira team has started the season with consecutive wins.
Home Opener
Saturday’s contest marks the first home game of the 2014-15 season for the Soaring Eagles. EC has historically excelled in their first game at the Murray Athletic Center, posting a 12-1 record in 13 home openers and outscoring opponents 75-9. Elmira has opened at home against SUNY Cortland three times in its history, winning all three matchups by a combined score of 22-0.
High-Flying Attack
The Purple and Gold have implemented a new, aggressive tempo on both ends of the ice for the 2014-15 season and it paid immediate dividends at the East-West Classic as EC scored nine goals in the two games at Kreitzberg Arena. The 4.50 goals per game average currently ranks the Soaring Eagles as the fourth best scoring offense in the country.
A Bit of Déjà vu?
Ashley Ryan ’15 enters this afternoon’s contest with 99 career points, just one shy of becoming EC’s ninth 100-point scorer. The last 100-point scorer, Ryan’s former teammate Tanis Lamoureux ’14, recorded her 100th point against SUNY Cortland during Elmira’s twogame set at Cortland last February.
