Pine Valley, NY — The second-ranked Elmira College women’s ice hockey team continued to stay hot on Sunday afternoon, skating to an 8-0 rout of Neumann University at the Murray Athletic Center Ice Arena. The Soaring Eagles were paced by a career day from senior defender McKenna Farole ’16 who tallied her first collegiate goal and added two assists to pace Elmira’s high flying offense.
Following the same game plan as yesterday’s 6-2 victory over the Knights, EC continued to push the pace with a hellacious forecheck. Neumann was hemmed in its own zone for the majority of the contest, allowing Elmira to continue to pepper the net with a high volume of shots. It would translate in the goals for the home side, who tallied twice in each of the first and second periods, before exploding for four goals during the final 20 minutes of regulation.
