Last Time Out
The Soaring Eagles are coming off a 3-0 defeat to Oswego State Wednesday afternoon. EC nearly matched the Lakers in total shots, with 10 compared to 11 for Oswego, but Elmira could not get any of their shots past Oswego's keeper as they were shutout on the afternoon.
 
A Look at the Ducks
The Ducks of Stevens Tech enter tomorrow's contest with a 5-8 overall record after falling to SUNY New Paltz at home, 4-2, on Wednesday. New Paltz took a 2-0 lead just over 20 minutes into the game, but Stevens would not go away quietly as Dailyn Brook '16 scored her ninth of the season to make it a 2-1 game. The Hawks answered with their third goal of the game, and after Victoria Alvarez '18 again made it a one-goal game, New Paltz sealed the victory with their final score with over seven minutes remaining.
