ECAC Tournament Berth
After finishing the regular season with a 16-9 record, the Soaring Eagles earned the six seed in the 2014 ECAC Metro Championships. This is the first time EC has qualified for the year-end tournament since the 2006-07 season.
ECAC Tournament History
EC last played in the ECAC Tournament in the 2006-07 season, meeting RPI in the opening round game. The Soaring Eagles fell to the Engineers 74-61. Elmira did reach the ECAC Tournament championship game in the 2005-06 season, defeating Geneseo State and Union College in the process, but fell to Oneonta State in the title game, 79-73. The Purple and Gold were led by former EC standouts Sarah Cote ’06 and Kourtney Troutman ’08 who had 20 and 15 points respectively, but Elmira shot 33 percent in the second half as Oneonta pulled out the close victory.
Empire 8 Player of the Year
After leading Elmira to their most successful season in seven years, Jessica Zoltowski ’14 was voted the Empire 8 Player of the Year. Zoltowski becomes just the second Elmira College women’s basketball player to receive Empire 8 Player of the Year honors, the other being Jessica Parker ’06.
Where Zoltowski Ranks in the Empire 8

She ranked ninth in rebounding (6.9 rpg), third in field goal percentage (.435), sixth in free throw percentage (.799), third in steals (2.4 spg), and first in minutes played (36.9 mpg).
