Put it on the Board
At 2-3, the Soaring Eagles are off to their best start in five years. Elmira’s two wins this weekend were the first victories in the month of November since the 2010-11 season, and the first time EC has picked up two wins in the month of November since the 2008-09 season.
Luck of the Irish?
Neil Randolph ’15 has been the most consistent scorer for the Purple and Gold this season, scoring double-digit points in every game, but he took his game to another level over the weekend. The forward posted a career-high, 32 points in EC’s 74-64 win over Hilbert College, and followed that up with a game-high 27 points in Sunday’s 79-65 win over Fredonia State.
Not in Five Years
Randolph’s 32 points is the most points scored by an Elmira College player since the 2008-09 season when former 1,000 point scorer Bobby DiPiazza ’11 posted 32 points in the final game of that season.
Career Milestone
After hitting his fourth three-pointer of the game against Hilbert College, Josh Keys ’14 hit a milestone that only one other EC men’s basketball player has reached, 200 three-point baskets made. He currently sits in second place on Elmira’s all-time list for career threepoint buckets.
Randolph in the E8
Through the first five games of the season, Randolph has solidified himself as one of the dominant players in the Empire 8 Conference. He is second in the conference in points per game (21.2), second in three-point buckets made (14), and first in free throw attempts (34).
