All-Tournament Team
Neil Randolph ’15 had a quality opening weekend for the Soaring Eagles, averaging 16.5 points on 47.8 percent shooting during the two games at the NYU Tip-Off Tournament. Randolph also knocked down six three pointers at a 43 percent clip while averaging 29 minutes per game. For his play throughout the weekend, Randolph was named to the NYU Tip-Off All-Tournament team, EC’s lone representative.
Big Man on Campus
David Borelli ’15 had a coming out party on Sunday against Drew University as he set career highs in points and rebounds, recording his first career double-double. The big man from Rochester, NY led all EC players with 19 points and 14 rebounds as he and the Soaring Eagles nearly pulled off the victory over the Rangers, falling 70-68 in the final seconds.
Keys From Downtown!
Josh Keys ’14 had a torrid start to his 2013-14 campaign as his hot shooting from behind the arc nearly produced an Elmira College upset of the number 20 nationally ranked Morrisville State Mustangs. Keys hit eight of 14 three point attempts for all 24 of his points. The eight three pointers eclipsed his previous career high of seven, which he set in the 2011-12 season, and was the highest number of made three-point baskets by an Elmira College player in over 13 years.
He’s Our Ironman
Derrick Vogel ’14 is continuing right where he left off the 2012-13 season, playing as many minutes as he possibly can. After averaging 35.6 minutes per game a season ago, Vogel played 67 of a possible 80 minutes, for an average of 33.5, over the weekend’s two games at the NYU Tip-Off Tournament.

Road Warriors
The EC men’s basketball team continues their 2013-14 season away from home as they take on the Red Dragons of Cortland State. This is the latest into November that the men’s basketball team has not had a home game since the 2011-12 season when the Soaring Eagles held their season opener on November 29, 2011. The Soaring Eagles struggled away from home last season, going 1-11, and have 11 road games this season.
Up to Second Place
Josh Keys ’14 has already solidified himself as one of the best three-point shooters in Elmira College history, but he has a chance this season to plant his name at the top of the Elmira College men’s basketball record books. After draining nine three-pointers this weekend, Keys now has 195 career made threes which moves him ahead of John Egan ’94 for second all-time. The captain now trails all-time leader Ryan Bennett ’01, by 54 made three pointers.
Empire 8 Leaderboards
Although conference play has yet to start, the Soaring Eagles find themselves amongst the league leaders after the first week of competition. Josh Keys ’14 and Neil Randolph ’15 are in a tie for fifth in scoring at 16.5 points per game, while David Borelli ’15 is fifth in the conference in rebounding, averaging 9.5 per game. Keys is also leading the conference in three-point baskets after putting in nine over two games at NYU and Derrick Vogel ’14 rounds out the Empire 8 leaderboards by ranking second in assist-to-turnover ratio at 3.5, a category he led the conference in a season ago.
Just Pull the Trigger
The early returns on Coach Torgalski’s new, uptempo offensive system may not have been all that positive since the Soaring Eagles did not get a win at the NYU Tip-Off, but EC has not been shy about taking open shots. The Purple and Gold shot 66 three-pointers over the weekend, 33 more than their opponents. The 37 three-pointers attempted against Morrisville State were the most three-point attempts in a game by an EC team since November 15, 2011 when the Soaring Eagles hoisted 38 threes against Cortland State.

Head Coach Randie Torgalski has not had much success against Cortland State since he arrived on campus in 2008 as his Soaring Eagles have fallen victim to the Red Dragons each of the three times they have played each other since the 2008-09 season.
All-Time vs. Cortland
The Soaring Eagles used to hold a commanding lead in the all-time series against Cortland State, but recent history has reversed the trend as the Red Dragons enter tonight’s contest with the 15-13 edge in the matchup. Cortland State has won each of the last eight contests between the two colleges.
Scouting Cortland
The Red Dragons started their season with a 61-59 road victory over Medaille College Saturday afternoon. Senior forward, Kevin McMahon’14 put in a career-high 25 points while also grabbing a team-high eight re YouTube bounds in the victory. Lamard Herron ’15 also contributed a double-digit www.youtube.com/ECSportsInfo scoring effort, tallying 17 points for Cortland. 2 Twitter www.twitter.com/ECSoaringEagles
