ELMIRA, N.Y. -- The fifth-ranked Elmira College women's ice hockey team will look to get back to its winning ways this weekend, as the Soaring Eagles resume their ECAC West schedule with a pair of league games against neighboring SUNY Cortland. Elmira battles the Red Dragons on Friday, January 13th, at Cortland's Alumni Arena at 7:00 p.m., before concluding the series at the Murray Athletic Center the following afternoon at 3:00 p.m.

WEEKEND OVERVIEW                           

• The fifth-ranked Soaring Eagles are coming off of a challenging 0-2-1 week against some of the best competition in the country.
• Elmira skated to a 2-2 overtime tie with No. 6 Middlebury in a rare Monday matchup, before dropping back-to-back contests to No. 4/5 Norwich and No. 5/4 Adrian at the East-West Hockey Classic in Northfield, Vt.
• This weekend's series with the SUNY Cortland Red Dragons is the first ECAC West series of the New Year for the Elmira women, who head into the matchup with a perfect 6-0-0 league mark.
• This weekend's set of games against Cortland is the first of three ECAC West home-and-home series for the Soaring Eagles (Cortland, William Smith, Utica).
• Elmira returns to the MAC on Saturday for the first time in over a month.

 
FONFARA'S BIG DAY              

• In Elmira's most recent game, a 5-3 loss to nationally-ranked Adrian, Meghan Fonfara '18 had one of her best performances of the season.
• Fonfara had a hand in each of Elmira's three goals against the Bulldogs. She scored EC's first and third goals of the contest, and assisted on the team's second tally.
• The three-point performance was her third multi-point game of the year, while it also marked the seventh time in her career she has finished with two or more points.
• Fonfara's three points also tied her previous single-game career high, a mark she has hit three times during her career.
• With two goals against the Red Dragons, Fonfara snapped her six-game streak of games without a tally. It also went down as her second multi-goal game of the season and the sixth of her EC career.

 
CORTLAND AT A GLANCE                      

• The 2016-17 season has been a challenging one to say the least for SUNY Cortland, as the Red Dragons enter the weekend series with a 1-10-0 record.
• Cortland dropped its first seven games of the season, three of which were decided by a single goal, before picking up its first win of the year over Post University, 10-0.
• Rookie Miranda Kolb and senior Sydney Carlucci own a share of the team lead in points with eight apiece.
• Kolb is Cortland's leading goal scorer with five tallies, two of which have been scored on the power play. She is tied for the team lead in power-play goals with Olivia Monzel, who also has two extra-skater goals.
• Carlucci has had a more balanced effort on offense with four goals, second-most on the team, and four assists. The four helpers are tied for the team high with blueliners Richelle Skarbowski and Charlie Calamari.
• Rachael Farmer has seen the most time between the pipes for the Red Dragons this season. Although she has yet to earn a win in her rookie debut (0-6-0) she does lead Cortland in saves (155) and goals-against average (3.39).
