Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College men's basketball team comes home this weekend for their first games in Speidel Gymnasium. The men are in search of their first win of the year after losing a trio of close games in a span of four days earlier this week.  

Home Opener
Saturday's game against Hilbert College marks the first game of the season played in Speidel Gymnasium. Since the 2000-01 season the Soaring Eagles have had mild success in home-openers as they have gone 5-8. The last time the Purple and Gold have won their first home game was against Fredonia State on November 15th of the 2009-10 campaign when EC came out on top, 83-77.

Success in Speidel
Last season the Purple and Gold found a lot more success in their home gymnasium than on the road as the men went 5-6. Their highest scoring game of the 2012-13 season was at home when they posted 88 points in their 88-62 win over Hartwick College on January 25th of last season.

Leading the Pack
Despite big nights from different players, Neil Randolph '15 has been the most consistent source of offense for Elmira, averaging 15.7 points per game. Randolph led the Soaring Eagles in the 63-51 road loss against Cortland State on Tuesday night with team highs of 14 points and seven rebounds.

Ranking in The Empire 8
Randolph is in second place in free throw percentage after making nine of 10 free throws so far this season while Josh Keys '14 is second in the E8 in three-point field goals made per game with 3.3. Derrick Vogel '14 is fifth overall in assists per game with 3.3 and is second in assist-to-turnover ratio with 3.3 a game.

All-Time vs. Hilbert
These two teams faced each other for the first time ever last season, resulting in a Hilbert victory, 71-66.

All-Time vs. Fredonia
Elmira holds the edge in the all-time series record between these two teams at 7-5. Despite EC's lead, Fredonia has won the previous three matchups.
