Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College women's ice hockey team will be in search of their fifth straight victory this weekend as the EC women host Williams College in a non-conference matchup.  Game time is set for 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 23rd at the Murray Athletic Center in Pine Valley, NY.   

ECAC West Player of the Week
Brooke Wilgosh '15 had a tremendous weekend on the ice against SUNY Potsdam, recording five points on two goals and three assists. The defender's five-point outburst coupled with the shutout posted on Saturday against the Bears led the ECAC West to name Wilgosh the ECAC West Player of the Week for the week ended November 17, 2013.

Going for Five Straight
The Soaring Eagles have rebounded nicely since their 0-1-1 start as the women have put together four straight wins, all against ECAC West opponents, to enter this weekend's matchup with a 4-1-1 record and a perfect 4-0-0 mark in ECAC West play. The Purple and Gold had three separate streaks of five-plus wins last season, the longest being an eight-game stretch in which they outscored opponents 40-3. 

Eighth in the Nation
Brooke Wilgosh '15 had a very productive weekend for the Purple and Gold, tallying five points on two goals and three assists. The third-year talent leads all EC defenders with six points and ranks eighth in all of NCAA Division III women's ice hockey in points per game for defensemen. 

Wilgosh is Number Six
Wilgosh also finds her name on the shortlist of all NCAA Division III skaters in power play goals scored so far this season. The defender has tallied three man-up scores through six games in 2013-14, placing her in a two-way tie for sixth place in the nation. Wilgosh trails the top spot by two scores. 

ECAC West Recognition
After posting her first career shutout in her first career start, Kyle Nelson '17 was recognized by the ECAC West by being placed on the ECAC West Weekly Honor Roll.

Nice to Meet You
Newcomers, Kierra Pietramala '17 and Kyle Nelson '17, made their first career starts between the pipes and picked up their first career wins against SUNY Potsdam on November 15th and 16th respectively. Pietramala made 16 saves in EC's 8-3 win over the Bears while Nelson made 29 impressive saves en route to a 3-0 shutout victory.

First Shutout of the Year
Last Saturday's 3-0 victory over SUNY Potsdam was Elmira's first shutout of the 2013-14 season. The Soaring Eagles set an Elmira College record with 16 shutouts last season, with three of those clean sheets coming in the first six games of the season.

Balanced Attack
Coach Jackson has always stressed the importance of a well-rounded attack, as evidenced by last season's 15 players with double-digit points. The offensive philosophy has carried into this season as well as the Soaring Eagles have had 13 players record a point through the team's first six games.
