Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College women's basketball team will look to extend their winning streak to six games as the Soaring Eagles host Cazenovia College tomorrow, January 7th in a 6:00 p.m. game.

Conference Opening Wins
Elmira's nine point win on the road against Nazareth College marked the first time EC has opened Empire 8 Conference play with a win since the 2007-08 season.  Also, Elmira's win over St. John Fisher College marked the first time since the 2005-06 season that EC has opened conference play with two consecutive victories.

Great Start to 2014
The Elmira women opened the New Year with a pair of Empire 8 Conference wins over Nazareth College and St. John Fisher College.  Elmira's win over Nazareth upped EC's record to 8-5 in the first games of the New Year over the last 13 seasons. 

Best Start Since 2006-07
With a 6-2 overall record, the Soaring Eagles are off to their best start since the 2006-07 season when the Purple and Gold opened the year 7-2.  The 2006-07 women finished the season with a 21-7 record, Elmira's third 20-plus win season and also EC's second best overall record in program history.

Clutch Plays Down the Stretch
Against St. John Fisher, captains Jessica Zoltowski'14 and Liz Forrest'14 made a handful of key plays down the stretch to help seal the victory. First Zoltowksi converted an and-one opportunity to tie the game at 59 apiece with just 26 seconds to play. Then, on the very next possession, Forrest slid into the paint to take a charge and give the ball back to the Soaring Eagles with a chance to win the game. On the final possession, the pair would hook-up on a play which brought Forrest to the charity stripe for the game-winning free throws. 

Career High for Forrest
Not only did Forrest come up with a pair of clutch plays at the end of the game against St. John Fisher, she also showed off her offensive abilities as she scored a career-high 17 points.  Her previous career high dates back to last season when she scored 16 points in a 70-47 win over Wells College on November 25, 2012.

Win Streak at Five
With back-to-back wins, the Elmira women have successfully upped their win streak to five games.  It is the first time in six years that Elmira has had a five-game win streak.  The last time EC pieced together five or more wins dates back to the 2007-08 season when the Purple and Gold won six straight games.
