Elmira’s 5-1 win over No. 11 ranked SUNY Geneseo put the Soaring Eagles back above .500 and more importantly gave EC their second win over a nationally ranked program this season. What makes the win over Geneseo even more impressive is that the Knights entered the game on a six-game win streak, averaging 5.2 goals per game.
A Year Ago, To the Date
Carter Shinkaruk ’16 scored the game’s opening goal just 42 seconds into play against No. 11 SUNY Geneseo. It is the quickest goal scored by an Elmira player since last year, oddly enough, on January 11, 2013 when Shinkaruk scored the game’s first goal just 20 seconds into play against Morrisville State.
Career High for Collins
Sophomore forward Michael Collins ’16 tallied a pair of goals against Buffalo State. His two goals are the most he has scored in a singlegame this season, and the most since January 12, 2013 when he scored two goals against Morrisville State.
Career High for Whittle
Greg Whittle ’16 also posted a career high this weekend. The secondyear talent registered three assists in Elmira’s win over SUNY Geneseo. Whittle’s previous high was two assists, which he recorded two times last year.
Burnell’s No. 3
Josh Burnell ’15 has tallied six power play goals this season, placing him third in all of NCAA Division III Men’s Ice Hockey in power play goals scored.
