WEEKEND OVERVIEW

RECAPPING EC'S LAST WIN

• Elmira's offense found its legs in the team's 8-6 win against Lebanon Valley. 
• EC's eight goals are the most the team has registered since January 17, 2013, when the Purple and Gold torched Nazareth with nine tallies in a 9-5 win. 
• 12 different players registered a point for Elmira in the win; of the 12 point scorers, six logged multi-point performances. 
• Rookie Eric Bolden led the charge with a game-high four points on one goal, unassisted, and three assists. 
• Tyler Theodoulou was EC's lone multi-goal scorer; he scored a pair of power-play goals, including the eventual game winner.

NEUMANN AT A GLANCE

• Friday night's game against Elmira will serve as Neumann's home opener, after the Knights played their first four games away from their home ice at the IceWorks Skating Complex. 
• The Knights opened the 2016-17 campaign with back-to-back non-conference wins over Daniel Webster and Salve Regina, winning on average by 3.5 goals. 
• Neumann lost their leading scorer from a season ago, Mike Davis, who after earning ECAC West First-Team honors as sophomore transferred to play under his rookie-year head coach, Dominick Dawes, at Stevenson. 
• Senior Jory Mullin leads the Knights with six points on four goals and two assists. 

MANHATTANVILLE AT A GLANCE

• The Valiants opened the year with four consecutive road games and picked up just one win during that stretch against Daniel Webster, 9-2.
• Second-year defender Marco Ferraro has paced the Valiant offense with team highs of seven points, three goals and four assists; Ferraro enters the weekend averaging 1.75 points per game, a mark that ranks fourth in the country in defenseman scoring.
• Manhattanville opened conference play with losses to Nazareth and Utica, a team that moved up four spots in the national poll to No. 9. 
• It marks the first time since the 2012-13 season that the Valiants have opened conference play without a win in its first two games.
