Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College men's ice hockey team will conclude a five-game road trip tonight as the Soaring Eagles take on non-conference opponent, Fredonia State at the Steele Hall Ice Arena in Fredonia, NY for a 7:00 p.m. showdown.
 
Last Time Out
Elmira came out on the wrong end of a pair of one-goal games last weekend.  The Soaring Eagles fell 5-4 to Amherst College before dropping another close one to No. 6 nationally ranked Babson College the following day, 2-1.
 
Looking to Break Through
With two wins through their first seven games, the Elmira men will be looking to get in the win column this Tuesday against Fredonia State.  However, do not let Elmira's 2-4-1 record mislead you.  Of Elmira's four losses, three were one-goal losses while the other was a two-goal loss.  In total, Elmira has played in four one-goal games, two two-goal games, and one that ended in tie.
 
First on the Board
Through Elmira's first seven games, the Soaring Eagles have been the first team to score just three times.  In those three games, Elmira has produced both of their wins this season. Last season Elmira went 10-2-0 when scoring first and dating back to the 2011-12 season, the Purple and Gold are 28-12-2.
 
Road Trip Concludes
Tuesday's non-conference tilt with Fredonia State marks the final game of a five-game road trip for the Elmira men.  The Soaring Eagles have only played at home once so far this year and have played seven of their eight games away from the Murray Athletic Center Ice Arena.
 
Tuesday Games vs. Fredonia
Elmira and Fredonia have played each other four times in Tuesday night games dating back to the 1999-00 season.  The Soaring Eagles hold a 3-1 edge in those meetings, picking up two wins at home and one on the road.  Fredonia's lone win in the four-game series came during the 2012-13 season at the Steele Hall Ice Arena in Fredonia, NY.
