ELMIRA COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL GAME NOTES
THIS WEEKEND’S OPPONENT
Last Time Out The Elmira women opened the 2015-16 season this past Friday, November 13th, when they hit the road to face the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Elmira got off to a fast start to take an early lead in the opening quarter; however, the Panthers went on a big run down the stretch to pull ahead. It would be a lead they would not relinquish, as Pitt-Bradford bested the Soaring Eagles on opening night for the second straight season in a 77-64 final.
First Meetings Elmira does not have much history between the three other teams at this weekend’s tournament. The Soaring Eagles matchup against Mount Union will be the first meeting between the two programs. Friday, November 20th, 2015 EC has also never faced Waynesburg before; however, Elmira has McPherson Academic & Athletic Complex -- Alliance, OH -- 7:00 p.m. faced Case Western Reserve once before. The meeting with the Spartans came during the third-place game at the Carnegie Mellon Tournament during the 2011-12 season, with Elmira falling by a final score of 66-46. Mount Union PURPLE RAIDERS (1-0)
Case Western Reserve SPARTANS (0-2)
Waynesburg YELLOW JACKETS (0-1)
Cleary Picks Up Where She Left Off Second-year guard Danielle Cleary ’18 got off to a strong start to her 2015-16 campaign last Friday at Pitt-Bradford. She registered the lone double-double for the Soaring Eagles, tallying 13 points and collecting 10 rebounds. Cleary is already halfway to equaling her total from last season, as she posted two double-doubles during her Empire 8 Rookie of the Year run in 2014-15.
Saturday, November 21st, 2015 McPherson Academic & Athletic Complex -- Alliance, OH -- TBA

Scouting Mount Union Mount Union has built a program which is an annual contender in the Ohio Athletic Conference and for NCAA Tournament berths. Although the squad is coming off a losing season in 2014-15, the Purple Raiders posted six consecutive winning campaigns prior to that, which included three straight OAC Tournament Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances from 2010-12. Mount Union opened the season this past Sunday, November 15th, on the road at Kalamazoo College, besting the Hornets 76-49 to get off to a roaring start to the 2015-16 campaign. Annie Bova, a First Team All-OAC selection last season, led the squad with 21 points. Jaime Sanborn came off the bench and provided the Purple Raiders a strong presence in the post, finishing with eight points, five boards and two blocks in 11 minutes of action. Scouting Waynesburg The Yellow Jackets got off to a difficult start to this season when they were stymied by Penn State-Behrend, 60-50, in their home opener on Tuesday evening. Waynesburg was held to just 32.3% shooting from the field, while it allowed Behrend to get to the free-throw line 39 times in the contest. Senior forward Heather Davis leads a strong interior game for the Yellow Jackets, as the senior posted a double-double with 15 points and 16 rebounds. Scouting Case Western Reserve The Spartans have struggled during the early portions of the 2015-16 campaign, as they enter the weekend with a 0-2 mark after a pair of close road losses to Denison College and Baldwin Wallace University. Sophomore forward Kara Hageman has been a dominant presence down low for Case Western Reserve, leading the team in most statistical categories, averaging: 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and four steals per game. Junior Jessica McCoy and freshman Hillary Hellmann provide a nice combination in the backcourt, both carrying double-digit points per game averages into the weekend.
