Mike Stianche '15 (Bethlehem, PA -- Bethlehem Catholic) and Meghan Pass '12 (Owego, NY -- Owego Free Academy) have been named EC Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 19th.

Stianche averaged 4.07 kills per set in a 2-2 weekend for the Elmira College Men's Volleyball team at the Carthage-MSOE Tournament. The first year outside hitter had a monster match as he pounded out a school-record 30 kills, hitting .323 with 10 digs in a five-set win against Thiel College. Stianche finished with 12 kills, hitting .357 and pinpointing two service aces in a loss to No. 3 Carthage. He finished the week with 53 kills, four service aces, 18 digs and two assisted blocks.

The No. 12 EC Men's Volleyball team currently sits at 18-13 overall and 6-4 in the United Volleyball Conference. The team returns to action Wednesday when it hosts No. 9 Medaille College at 6:00 p.m. in Speidel Gymnasium.

Pass scored a remarkable eight goals as the Elmira College Women's Lacrosse team downed host Roberts Wesleyan College, 18-12, Saturday afternoon in Rochester. Pass scored off the opening faceoff setting the tone early that EC's offense would be tough to hold down.

The fourth year attacker tallied Elmira's fourth straight goal to open up the early 4-0 lead. The Soaring Eagles controlled the first half as Pass had five goals and an assist with EC carrying an 11-6 advantage at intermission. It proved to be much of the same in the second half as the Owego, NY native tallied three more scores to finish with eight goals and an assist for the Purple and Gold.

The EC Women's Lacrosse team is off to a 3-1 start to the season with wins over SUNY Morrisville, SUNY Canton and Roberts Wesleyan. The team returns to action Saturday when it travels to Dallas, PA to take on Lycoming College at 1:00 p.m.
