ELMIRA COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL GAME NOTES
Game 9: Elmira College vs. Rochester Institute of Technology
WEDNESDAY’S OPPONENT
Last Time Out
Elmira bounced back from a difficult showing against SUNY Cortland in a midweek game to get back in the win column with a 61-53 victory over SUNY Potsdam over the weekend. Although the Soaring Eagles struggled to contend with the full-court press employed by the Bears, turning the ball over 26 times in the contest, Elmira turned in one of its finest defensive performances of the year to limit Potsdam to 53 points. Danielle Cleary ’18 continued to pace the Elmira offense, narrowly missing the double-double with 25 points and nine rebounds. Meghan Loya ’16 added her first double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 boards.
Cleary Keeps Producing
RIT TIGERS (6-1)
Wednesday, December 30th, 2015 Speidel Gymnasium -- Elmira, NY -- 3:00 p.m.
The beat goes on for second-year guard Danielle Cleary ’18, who continues to be a force for the Soaring Eagles during her sophomore campaign. She once again powered Elmira’s offense in the team’s victory over Potsdam last time out. She poured in 25 points on 8-of-19 shooting from the field and 7-for-8 shooting from the charity stripe. She narrowly missed out on securing her fourth doubledouble of the season, as she also pulled down nine rebounds. Cleary has been nothing short of remarkable this year, leading the team in scoring in all eight of Elmira’s contests to-date. She continues to top the Empire 8 Conference in scoring, averaging 20.8 points per game, which ranks 21st in the nation. She also has attacked the glass with a vengeance this season, ranking second on the team and fourth in the conference at 9.1 rebounds per game.
Loya Doubles Up
While Elmira’s scoring punch has primarily come from the backcourt this season, Meghan Loya ’16 has quietly put together a solid start in the low post. She put together her finest outing of the season against Potsdam, posting her first 2015-16 SCHEDULE (3-5, 0-0 EMPIRE 8) Day Date Opponent Time-Result double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 rebounds. The scoring was much needed for an Elmira team that has looked for more balance between NOV. 13 Pitt-Bradford L, 64-77 20 Mount Union^ L, 71-85 the backcourt and the frontcourt. The double-double was just the third of 21 Case Western^ L, 65-81 her collegiate career, while it was the third time this season she has produced 24 Hilbert W, 68-57 double-digit rebounds in a game. She ranks fifth in the Empire 8 Conference at DEC. 1 Clarkson L, 55-67 8.9 rebounds per game. 3 Penn College of Technology W, 82-47 9 SUNY Cortland L, 37-76 Solving the Press 12 SUNY Potsdam W, 61-53 One theme we have seen in recent games has been opponent’s propensity to 30 RIT 3:00 p.m. defend the Soaring Eagles with the press. Elmira has shown some struggles JAN. 4 Stevens* 4:00 p.m. against the press in recent games, coughing up 20-plus turnovers in three of 8 St. John Fisher* 8:00 p.m. the last four contests against Clarkson, SUNY Cortland, and SUNY Potsdam. The 9 Nazareth* 7:00 p.m. 12 Ithaca* 8:00 p.m. Soaring Eagles had a particularly tough time against the Bears with 26 turnovers; 15 Utica* 8:00 p.m. however, the team was able to overcome the mistakes to notch its second vic 16 Hartwick* 4:00 p.m. tory over the last three games. Elmira will need to solve their issues with the 19 Houghton* 8:00 p.m. press if it hopes to continue its turnaround. 21 Alfred* 8:00 p.m. 27 Ithaca* 8:00 p.m. All-Time Series 30 Stevens* 4:00 p.m. Elmira has enjoyed great success against RIT in the overall series. The Soaring FEB. 5 Utica* 8:00 p.m. Eagles are 29-10 against the Tigers all-time, which includes a 17-6 record since 6 Hartwick* 4:00 p.m. 2000. Elmira has not met RIT since the 2010-11 season, when the Tigers were 9 Houghton* 8:00 p.m. still a member of the Empire 8 Conference. The teams split the season series 12 St. John Fisher* 8:00 p.m. 13 Nazareth* 8:00 p.m. with each team earning a lopsided victory on their respective home courts. 20 Alfred* 4:00 p.m. 26 Empire 8 Semifinals TBA Scouting Rochester Institute of Technology 27 Empire 8 Final TBA The Tigers have jumped out to a fast start out of the gates in 2015-16, entering the matchup with a 6-1 record through the opening month of the season.
