FINALLY Elmira gets the Middlebury monkey off their back and it couldnt have come at a better time.
HUGE win for the Soaring Eagles to hand the Panthers their first loss on Midd's home huge sheet of ice which should have played into Middlebury's hands.
Go get 'em tomorrow against the Amherst/Plattsburgh winner. Personally, I hope Amherst wins for sake of playing a different team but I wouldnt mind seeing the Cardinals again and I'm sure the EC girls wouldn't either after the way the first two meetings went down.
EC will get a chance at Amherst regardless when they host the Lady Jeffs later in the season.
Great game for freshman Caitlin Metcalf assisting on all three Soaring Eagle goals.

Amherst looks good on the big ice and is using their speed to disrupt Cardinal breakout and transition. Amherst has had a number of good scoring chances. Evans scored picking up a loose puck at the top of the crease in a scrum, taking a step away from the net and beating Mackrell with a shot on the ice inside the far, stickside post.

2nd period a bit more even play with lots of end to end action and both D pretty much keeping the puck away from the net.
sog 4-3
