Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College men's soccer team (6-7-0, 2-3-0 E8) dropped a hard fought battle at home this afternoon to No. 5 Stevens Institute of Technology Ducks (11-1-1, 4-0-0 E8), 3-0.  EC goalie Nick Lapinski '17 came up with eight saves in today's contest.

Elmira was able to get off three more shots in the second half but none of them would find their way on frame whereas the Ducks would register two more scores en route to the 3-0 victory.
