The Soaring Eagles squared-off against No. 4 Middlebury College for the second time this season, playing to a 2-2 overtime tie last Saturday. EC trailed 1-0 early in the second period, but two goals from Erin Weston ’15, one towards the end of the second period and another five minutes into the third period, to put Elmira on top, 2-1. Middlebury concluded the day’s scoring with the game-tying goal with less than seven minutes on the clock.
Two for Weston
Erin Weston ’15 scored both of EC’s goals against Middlebury last Saturday, matching her career-high for goals in a game. It was Weston’s first multi-goal game of the season and the third multi-goal game of her career. The last time she scored two goals in a game, prior to Saturday, was against Utica College on November 10, 2013.
Career-High for Nelson
EC netminder Kyle Nelson ’17 was tested early and often against the Panthers as Middlebury put 37 shots on goal. Nelson made 35 stops in 65 minutes between the pipes, setting a new career high. The last time an EC goaltender recorded as many saves in a game was in last year’s NCAA Quarterfinal against Norwich University when Lisa Marshall ’14 also recorded 35 saves.
Ryan’s Record Setting Pace
Ashley Ryan ’15 has recorded 24 assists in her first 11 games, an average of 2.18 per game. If Ryan can maintain her current assist rate, she will conclude her senior season with an Elmira College single-season record 56 assists, 15 more than Charissa Gawant ’05 tallied in 200102, EC’s inaugural season.
