Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College men's ice hockey team will look for a pair of ECAC West victories this weekend as the Soaring Eagles travel to take on the Knights of Neumann University.  The first of two games is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the Ice Works Skating Complex in Aston, PA.

First Line Getting It Done
The Soaring Eagles had a three-game winning streak snapped when they fell to Fredonia State on Tuesday night, 5-4. The first line teamed up to combine for eight of the team's 10 points with Josh Burnell '15 collecting four, Tommy Sumi '16 picking up two, Carter Shinkaruk '16 tallying one point and defenseman Nick Owen'17 posting one.

Burnell's Big Night
Against Fredonia, Burnell tallied four points on one goal and three assists. His four points as well as his three assists are career highs.  The other time he had four points in a single night was in the 2011-12 season when he scored two goals and assisted on another two against Nazareth College.  The last time he recorded three assists in a single game was against Morrisville State College during the 2012-13 season.

ECAC West Goaltender of the Week
This past week Sal Magliocco '17 was named the ECAC West Goaltender of the Week after pair of non-conference wins against Cortland State and No. 10 nationally ranked Oswego State. Magliocco ended the week with 75 saves, with a career best 42 saves against Oswego to help Elmira snap a nine-game losing streak to the Lakers.

ECAC West Honor Roll
Strale also earned ECAC West recognition after he posted four points on one goal and three assists in the comeback win over Cortland, tying his career best in points and assists. The last time he had four points in a game was January 13th, 2012 when, with Strale's help, the Purple and Gold downed the Morrisville State Mustangs 5-1.

Among The Nation's Best
Burnell's four points against Fredonia ups his season total up to 21, tying him for 19th in the nation. His three assists also puts his season total up to 13, ranking him 22nd in the nation. His power-play goal upped his season total to seven, ranking him third in the nation, only one away from first.

Second In The Country
The Soaring Eagles still rank among the best in power-play efficiency as they are second in the nation with a 32.14 percent success rate.

Magliocco's Magic
Rookie goaltender Sal Magliocco '17 has been solid in net for the Soaring Eagles this season, recording eight of EC's nine wins. He has made 438 saves with a save percentage of .913.  His career high 42 saves is a mark he has reached twice so far this season.

EC Peppering The Net
Elmira put 52 shots on goal in the loss against Fredonia State. This is the second time this season that the Purple and Gold have posted 52 shots in one night. The last time they had as many shots was in the first meeting against Fredonia State this season on November 19th, when Elmira cruised to 5-0 win.
