Games 11 & 12: Elmira College vs. St. John Fisher & Nazareth
WEDNESDAY’S OPPONENT St. John Fisher CARDINALS (7-2, 0-0 Empire 8)
Last Time Out
Elmira will be looking to bounce back from its most recent setback, a 15-point loss at home to the Ducks of Stevens Institute of Technology. Stevens took control of Monday’s game fairly early, as the Ducks took a 20-5 lead after the game’s first 10 minutes of action. The Ducks would eventually turn their 15-point first quarter lead into a 25-point halftime lead. Elmira cleaned things up a bit in the second half and eventually outscored Stevens 35-25 in the final 20 minutes, but it proved to be too little too late, as the Ducks marched away with a 70-55 win.
