Elmira, NY -- After opening Speidel Gymnasium in grand fashion, picking up wins number one and two on the season, the Elmira College men's basketball team will head out on the road in search of their third win in a row. The Soaring Eagles will travel to Oberlin College for a non-conference game before taking a break for Thanksgiving. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.

Put it on the Board
At 2-3, the Soaring Eagles are off to their best start in five years. Elmira's two wins this weekend were the first victories in the month of November since the 2010-11 season, and the first time EC has picked up two wins in the month of November since the 2008-09 season.

Luck of the Irish?
Neil Randolph '15 has been the most consistent scorer for the Purple and Gold this season, scoring double-digit points in every game, but he took his game to another level over the weekend. The forward posted a career-high, 32 points in EC's 74-64 win over Hilbert College, and followed that up with a game-high 27 points in Sunday's
79-65 win over Fredonia State.

Career Milestone
After hitting his fourth three-pointer of the game against Hilbert College, Josh Keys '14 hit a milestone that only one other EC men's basketball player has reached, 200 three-point baskets made. He currently sits in second place on Elmira's all-time list for career three-point buckets.

Flirting with the Triple-Double
In Elmira's 14 point win over Fredonia State, Derrick Vogel '14 finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists - only a few stats away from the coveted triple-double. The closest he has come to reaching the mark came in last year's season finale against Utica when he totaled 16 points, 12 assists and six boards.

Production From the Bench
Elmira's win over Fredonia would not have been possible without key contributions from their bench. John Mullane '16 provided the Soaring Eagles with quality minutes in the paint, pulling down eight rebounds, tying a career high for the second-year forward. Brian McDonald '15 provided the offense, scoring seven timely points, including a momentum-building three-point play at the 12:33 mark of the second half which gave EC their first lead in over five minutes.

Second Half Scoring
Despite trailing at halftime in both games this weekend, EC came away with convincing victories after putting up impressive second half numbers. The Soaring Eagles posted 45 points in the second half of both wins over the weekend, the first time an Elmira team had consecutive second halves of 40-plus points since EC scored 44 and 48 in wins over Houghton College and Hartwick College last season.
