RYE, N.Y. -- A pair of two-point performances by Maddy Jerolman '19 and Eliza Beaudin '22 were key in No. 1/3-ranked Elmira College women's ice hockey remaining perfect in United Collegiate Hockey Conference action, as the Soaring Eagles downed Manhattanville College, 2-0. With the win, the Purple and Gold improve to 7-0-0 in the UCHC and remain as one of just two teams in the league with unblemished conference records.
 
Jerolman and Beaudin had a hand in each of Elmira's goals this evening. Jerolman scored the game-winning goal and dished out an assist on the other, while Beaudin earned primary assists on Elmira's two tallies. Emma Crocker '21 added the other goal for the Soaring Eagles, her second of the season.
 
Rookie goaltender Stephanie Martin '22 improved to 9-1-1 on the year, after logging 22 saves in 60 minutes of action. Martin also picked up her fourth shutout of the year and her third in EC's last five contests.
 
Jerolman opened tonight's game with an even-strength tally at 13:03, her fifth goal of the year, on an assist from Beaudin.
 
Elmira skated for 4:32 of the first period and the remainder of the contest down a skater, as EC was called for game misconduct. Despite the adversity, the Soaring Eagles were still able to finish the contest with a 30-22 advantage in shots on goal.
 
The lopsided shot count yielded an even-strength goal from Crocker at 13:41 in the third period, putting the Purple and Gold on top, 2-0. Beaudin and Jerolman picked up assists on the insurance tally.
 
Martin was key in keeping the Valiants off of the scoreboard, as she made eight saves in each of the first two periods and logged six stops in the third frame.
 
In His Own Words…
Head Coach Tim Crowley shares his thoughts on Elmira's win tonight…
"It's always good to get a road win against a good opponent, especially in league play. Despite the major penalty, we had some players step up that were given the opportunity and they gave us some big shifts in the third period. It's been a d-zone first mentality, and our d-core has been solid since the Nazareth series. It also helps when Martin is playing as well as she is."
