Two with 25-Plus
Against Penn College, Danielle Cleary ’18 and Alex Balara ’15 teamed up to accomplish something that hasn’t been done for over 13 years at Elmira College. Cleary and Balara become the first two players to score 25 or more points each in the same game. The closest to it being done in that time was former standouts Jessica Zoltowski ’14 and Maria Thannhauser ’14 who each scored 22 points in a single-game twice in the 2012-13 season.
Double-Doubles
Danielle Cleary ’18 posted her first career double-double against Penn College with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Meghan Loya ’16 also tallied a double-double, the second of her career, with 14 points and 12 rebounds. This is the first time since February 16th, 2013 that two players have produced a double-double in the same game when Jessica Zoltowski ’14 and Alex Balara ’15 did it against Utica College. Zoltowski posted 32 points and 10 rebounds while Balara tallied 12 points and 12 rebounds in the game.
EC Cleaning Up the Boards
Against Penn College, Elmira pulled down 53 rebounds. This is the most boards the EC women have posted in a single game since producing 55 rebounds against Penn College on January 10th, 2012.
