THIS WEEKEND’S OPPONENTS

EC went on a 19-2 run to take a 19-15 lead at the 7:43 mark in the second quarter.

Loya Looking Sharp Friday, February 5th, 2016 Speidel Gymnasium -- Elmira, NY -- 8:00 p.m.
Hartwick College HAWKS (8-10, 6-4 Empire 8)
The senior from Bethel, CT, continues to impress for EC. She tied her career high with 14 points against Stevens on Saturday. It was the fifth 14-point game of her career and her first such game since doing so on February 9th, 2015, against Pennsylvania College of Technology. In addition, Loya continued to be a force on the glass, as she only needed one more rebound to earn her second double-double of the season. The 5-foot-10 forward has also seen an increased amount of attempts from the free-throw line, going 11-for-13 from the charity stripe over the last three games. Since the start of 2016, Loya has only missed three foul shots, compiling an impressive 88.5 free-throw percentage over that span.
