Game NotesLast Time Out: Elmira is coming off an 84-69 loss to Clark-son University on December 6th. The Purple and Gold trailed by just one point with 8:25 left in the game, however, the Golden Knights would close on a 19-4 run to finish the game.

Welcome Back Alex: The best returning offensive option from the 2013-14 season returned to the court against Clark-son on December 6th. Balara led the Soaring Eagles with career-night. Balara scored a career-high 24 points and tied a career-high five steals, she now has six games in her career with five steals.

Two Players With 20-Plus: Adding to Balara’s 24 points against Clarkson was Danielle Cleary ’18 who also scored the most points of her career with 21 points. This is the first time the Purple and Gold have had two players turn in 20-plus point performances since former standouts Jessica Zoltowski ’14 and Maria Thannhauser ’14 both poured in 22 points against St. John Fisher College on December 7th, 2012.

Pochkar With A Double-Double: Karli Pochkar ’16 was only one rebound shy of her first double-double of her career against Hilbert College on November 25th as she recorded 15 points and nine rebounds. In the very next game against Clarkson, Pochkar scored 11 points and pulled down 10 re-bounds to mark down her first double-double of her career.
