Following Elmira’s thrilling 3-2 win over Nazareth College, the Soaring Eagles are riding high on a three game win streak. Elmira has outscored their opponents 14-5 during their three game tear. The last time Elmira won three games in a row dates back to last season when the Purple and Gold defeated Morrisville State in back-to-back games, followed by a win over Nazareth.
Going for number Four
The Purple and Gold will be in search for their fourth straight win when they take on Buffalo State in the opening round of the Skidmore Invitational. The last time Elmira won four or more games in a row dates back to the 2011-12 season when EC put together a fourgame win streak and a five game win-streak.
Second Period Scorers
Despite what happens in the first and third periods, you can count on one thing from the Soaring Eagles’ offense, and that is second period scoring. Of Elmira’s 32 goals this season, 14 have been scored in the second period, the most in any period by EC. The second period success has become more evident in their last three games as eight of their 14 goals were scored in the second periods.
Déjà Vu
On January 17, 2013, the Elmira men went down 2-1 after the first intermission to Nazareth. Then, EC had a five goal outburst in the second period which all but sealed their 9-5 victory. This outcome was very similar to last Friday’s matchup against Nazareth, when the Soaring Eagles carried a 1-0 deficit into the first intermission before scoring five goals in the second period to eventually win 6-3.
