Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College men's ice hockey team will look to make it two straight wins tomorrow as they travel to take on the Red Dragons of Cortland State in a non-conference game. The puck is set to drop at 7:00 p.m. at Alumni Arena in Cortland, NY.
Back on Track
Elmira's 5-1 win over No. 11 ranked SUNY Geneseo put the Soaring Eagles back above .500 and more importantly gave EC their second win over a nationally ranked program this season. What makes the win over Geneseo even more impressive is that the Knights entered the game on a six-game win streak, averaging 5.2 goals per game.
A Year Ago, To the Date
Carter Shinkaruk '16 scored the game's opening goal just 42 seconds into play against No. 11 SUNY Geneseo. It is the quickest goal scored by an Elmira player since last year, oddly enough, on January 11, 2013 when Shinkaruk scored the game's first goal just 20 seconds into play against Morrisville State.
Career High for Collins
Sophomore forward
Michael Collins '16 tallied a pair of goals against Buffalo State. His two goals are the most he has scored in a single-game this season, and the most since January 12, 2013 when he scored two goals against Morrisville State.
Career High for Whittle
Greg Whittle '16 also posted a career high this weekend. The second-year talent registered three assists in Elmira's win over SUNY Geneseo. Whittle's previous high was two assists, which he recorded two times last year.
18-Save Period for Magliocco
For the third time this season, rookie netminder
Sal Magliocco '17 made 18 saves in a single period. Against SUNY Geneseo, Magliocco was peppered with 18 shots in the first period but denied each attempt. In earlier games this season against Oswego State and the first matchup against Buffalo State, Magliocco also made 18 saves in a single period. His 18 saves is the most made by an EC goaltender since last year's season finale when
Darren MacDonald '13 made 20 saves in the first period against Manhattanville College.
Not since 2010-11
Elmira's 5-1 win over SUNY Geneseo is their largest margin of victory against a nationally ranked opponent since the 2010-11 season. During the 2010-11 campaign, EC posted three four-goal wins against nationally ranked opponents in No. 10 Utica College, No. 14 Hobart College, and No. 14 Neumann University. However, Elmira's 5-1 win over Utica that season was the most similar to this year's win over SUNY Geneseo, not only because of the final score, but also that Elmira was unranked at the time.
All-Time vs. Cortland State
Elmira has been nothing short of dominant against the Red Dragons of Cortland State, owning an unblemished 38-0-0 record in the all-time series. Cortland is one of two opponents that Elmira has played 10 or more times and has not lost to - the other being St. Bonaventure University. EC's last meeting against Cortland occurred during the 2011-12 season, a game in which the Soaring Eagles scored a 6-2 victory.
