Last Time Out
Elmira enters the NCAA Division III Women’s Ice Hockey Tournament coming off one of its most difficult outings of the season in the semifinal of the ECAC West Tournament. Third-seeded Utica College stunned the Soaring Eagles 5-1, not only dealing EC an early exit from the conference tournament, but also putting the Purple and Gold into a little consternation regarding their NCAA hopes. The Pioneers struck for two goals in each of the first two periods to take a 4-0 lead into the final frame. Johanna Eidensten ’17 netted an early goal in the third to spark hopes of an epic comeback, but Utica put that to bed with a goal 1:37 after the Eidensten tally, seeing out the 5-1 victory.
