Going for 10
The women’s basketball team has now won nine games in a row after defeating Houghton College, 67-48 on Tuesday night. With a win against Penn State Abington, the Soaring Eagles will have their first double-digit win streak since the 2006-07 season. That season, EC put together a 13-game streak and finished the season with a 21-7 record, one of three 20-plus win seasons in Elmira College history.
Best Start Since 1993-94
After dominating Houghton College, EC pushed its record to 10-2. The 10-2 start is one win better than the 9-2 starts by both the 199697 and 1997-98 teams and is two wins from matching the best start in program history. The 1993-94 women’s basketball team started 12-2 that season and finished with a 15-10 record.
Four Out of Five
The Soaring Eagles once again shot 50 percent from the floor against Houghton last Tuesday. It is the fourth time in five games that EC has made at least 50 percent of their attempts.
30-Plus for Zoltowski
Jessica Zoltowski ’14 recorded 31 points against Houghton College last Tuesday, her first 30-plus point game of the year. For her career, Zoltowski has six career games in which she has scored at least 30 points with the Soaring Eagles going 5-1 in those games.
Top-20 Scorer
After seeing her scoring average dip to 20.0 points per game on January 7th, Zoltowski has averaged 27.0 points per game over her last three contests to up her season average to 21.8 points per game. The standout senior now ranks 17th in the nation in scoring average.
