ELMIRA COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL GAME NOTES
Games 13: Elmira College vs. Ithaca College
TUESDAY’S OPPONENT
Last Time Out
Elmira suffered a pair of conference losses over the weekend to St. John Fisher College and Nazareth College at Speidel Gymnasium. Fisher turned a slim 18-15 first quarter lead into a 39-point victory, defeating the Soaring Eagles 86-47. The Golden Flyers pulled away in the second half to earn a 20-point win, 73-53. The two defeats extended EC’s losing streak to four straight games, including a threegame conference losing streak.
Loya Closes In
Meghan Loya ’16 has pulled down a team-leading 100 rebounds this season for a per game average of 8.3. Her 100 boards puts her career total at 497, just five shy of moving into a two-way tie for 10th place in the EC record books. Additionally, if Loya grabs three more rebounds, she will become just the sixth Elmira player to register 500 or more boards since 2000.
Ithaca College BOMBERS (6-6, 3-1 Empire 8)
Speidel Skid
Tuesday, Januray 12th, 2016 Ben Light Gymnasium -- Ithaca, NY -- 8:00 p.m.
EC’s home venue hasn’t provided the Purple and Gold with much home-court advantage so far this season. The Soaring Eagles ended their four-game homestand at Speidel Gymnasium without a win, and are now 1-5 at home. The last time EC had lost four consecutive home games was in the final month of the 2011-12 season. EC’s upcoming four-game road trip may be just what Elmira needs, as the Soaring Eagles are 2-3 in road contests this season
Vespucci Taking Advantage of Playing Time
First-year forward Rachel Vespucci ’19 saw plenty of action against both St. John Fisher and Nazareth, and performed admirably with an average of 11.0 points and 2015-16 SCHEDULE (3-9, 0-3 EMPIRE 8) 4.5 rebounds.

Danielle Cleary ’18 30 RIT L, 53-87 paced all EC players over the weekend with four total blocks, which should come JAN. 4 Stevens* L, 55-70 as little surprise; her 18 blocks as a rookie were good enough for second on the 8 St. John Fisher* L, 47-86 team, and included a career-high three in her first collegiate game against the 9 Nazareth* L, 53-73 University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. With 11 blocks so far this season, Cleary 12 Ithaca* 8:00 p.m. leads the team and is tied for fifth in the Empire 8.
