HOW IT HAPPENED:
 After a strong first half that saw Elmira outshoot the Wildcats, 8-4, the Soaring Eagles got themselves on the board just 13 minutes after halftime when Lauralie Grainer '25 won the Purple & Gold a free kick. Elfring would set up over the ball and send a strong shot in towards goal. The ball sailed over the keeper and looked to be headed for the crossbar but dipped suddenly right into the back of net.
 
Less than a minute later, the Soaring Eagles were hungry to extend their lead. Right back Lauren Foster '23 made a strong run, pushing the ball forward up into the right side of the penalty area and won EC a corner. On the ensuing kick Grainer got her head on the ball but was blocked by a Wildcat defender. Elmira would go on to control the last 30 minutes of play and did not allow another shot to Cazenovia in the match.

Elmira is back in action on Saturday, September 25 when they travel to face conference foe Houghton College. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
