Last Time Out
Elmira stormed back from a 3-1 second period deficit, scoring four unanswered goals in a 5-3 victory over SUNYAC leading SUNY Potsdam on Tuesday. Senior captain Brian Depp ‘16 was the impetus that started Elmira’s comeback, taking a puck coast-to-coast for a goal to halve the deficit in the second period. After Jeremy Marginsky ’18 tied the game with just over nine minutes remaining, Depp set up the game-winner by Tommy Sumi ’16 with 5:10 remaining. Jarryd ten Vaanholt ’16 iced the game with an empty-net tally with 40 seconds remaining.
Depp Keeps on Delivering
Depp once again put in a standout performance on Tuesday night against Potsdam, collecting two goals and an assist in the victory. He got the Soaring Eagles on the board early in the second period on a highlight-reel wraparound goal. The senior captain put the team on his back after EC fell into a 3-1 hole later in the period. The right wing made a fabulous coast-to-coast play to net his second goal, while he chipped in a primary assist on Sumi’s game-winner with an excellent backhand saucer pass. The Fenton, MI, native has now recorded at least one point in all nine of Elmira’s contests so far this season, equaling his career-best streak from his sophomore campaign in 2012-13. With the three-point effort, Depp now leads the Soaring Eagles with 14 points and eight goals, while he is tied for the team lead with five assists.
Offensive Surge
Elmira’s turnaround, following a slow start out of the gates, has been mostly pow-
ered by an offensive that has been nothing short of spectacular. The Soaring EaSaturday, December 12th, 2015 gles have navigated what was generally considered to be the most difficult stretch Koeppel Community Sports Center -- Hartford, CT -- 4:30 p.m. of its early season schedule with wins in five of their last six games. Over that
stretch, the Elmira offense has averaged 4.7 goals per game, while it has posted five or more goals four times. Overall, the Soaring Eagles have found the back of Time-Result the net 38 times through their first nine games, a 4.2 goals per game average. L, 6-7 OT It has been a complete team effort, as 14 Elmira players have recorded at least L, 1-4 three or more points on the year. L, 3-4 W, 5-2 Magliocco Makes Return L, 3-5 Elmira netminder Sal Magliocco ’17 made his awaited return to the Elmira cage, W, 4-3 following a four-game absence.
