Elmira, NY -- After opening the 2015 season with back-to-back games at Campus Field, the Elmira College men's soccer team will be on the road for the first time tomorrow, September 9th, when the Purple and Gold visit the Wolfpack of Keuka College for a non-conference matchup.  Wednesday's game is set to begin at 7:00 p.m. under the lights at Keuka's Jephson Complex.
 
Last Time Out
Elmira has had a few days to reflect on their last game, one that resulted in a 2-1 defeat against visiting Susquehanna University.  After playing to a 0-0 halftime score, Susquehanna broke the deadlock with a header goal off of a corner kick in the 61st minute.  Elmira's Michael Bryant '17 evened things up in 81st minute on a penalty kick, however, one minute later the Crusaders would score the eventual game-winning goal to seal a 2-1 victory.
 
Bryant Goes Back-to-Back
EC's Bryant has had a great start to the 2015 season, as he leads the Soaring Eagles with five points on two goals and one assist.  Bryant opened the year by scoring the season's opening goal against No. 19 SUNY Cortland and followed that up with a tally against Susquehanna.  Bryant's goals in back-to-back games is the first time an EC player has scored in consecutive games since the 2013 season.
