Last Time Out
Elmira faced a stiff test in its last outing against No. 3/6 nationally-ranked Amherst College on Tuesday night. Sarah Hughson ’18 got things started for the Soaring Eagles early in the first period, as she tucked-in a wraparound goal to open the game’s scoring. Amherst answered just about three minutes later to even the game, but Katie Granato ’19 put the Purple and Gold back in front 1:35 into the second period on one of the nicest backhand bar-down shots you will see this season. It looked as though EC was going to skate away with its fifth nationallyranked win of the season, but with less than five minutes to play in regulation, Amherst scored the eventual game-tying goal, which put an end to Elmira’s 11game win streak. For Elmira, it was the first time this season they have not won a game when entering the third period with a lead (8-0-1).

The Knights opened the season with six straight losses and earned just one win in its first 11 games of the year. However, the 6 ECAC West Championship TBA Knights look to be playing much better recently, as the Neumann women have 12 NCAA Quarterfinals TBA earned back-to-back wins in their last two outings against Salve Regina University and Salem State University. One area Neumann will need to do a better job at Home contests are bolded this weekend is limiting its penalty minutes. The Knights are averaging an NCAA *Denotes ECAC West contest Division III-leading 12.1 penalty minutes per contest, which could pose a problem with Elmira’s 11th-ranked power-play unit. Bek Lucas has been a bright spot for Neumann this season, as the second-year forward leads the team in points (10), goals (7), and shares the team lead in assists (3). Megan Russelo shares the team lead in assists with three.
