The defender’s five-point outburst coupled with the shutout posted on Saturday against the Bears led the ECAC West to name Wilgosh the ECAC West Player of the Week for the week ended November 17, 2013. GOING FOR FIVE STRAIGHT The Soaring Eagles have rebounded nicely since their 0-1-1 start as the women have put together four straight wins, all against ECAC West opponents, to enter this weekend’s matchup with a 4-1-1 record and a perfect 4-0-0 mark in ECAC West play. The Purple and Gold had three separate streaks of five-plus wins last season, the longest being an eight-game stretch in which they outscored opponents 40-3.

WilliAms this sEAsonWilliams College enters this weekend of play with a 1-1 record after split-ting a pair of games with Wesleyan University on November 15th and 16th. The Ephs lost their season opener 4-3 then came back the following day to earn a 6-2 victory over the Cardinals. Wesleyan held a 2-0 lead early in the third period, but Williams erupted for six straight goals, four of which came on the power play, to secure the 6-2 win. Caitlin Conlon ’15 had a game-high three points and was one of six different players to tally goals for the Ephs.
fAmiliAr fACE in nEtReturning for her third season as the primary goaltender for Williams is Chloe Billadeau ’15. The Chaska, MN native has started both games so far, making 36 saves with a .878 save percentage while compiling a 2.51 goal against average. EC got the better of Billadeau last season, scoring six goals on the goaltender en route to a 6-0 victory.
titlE DEfEnsEThis is the third time in just 12 years of EC women’s ice hockey that the Purple and Gold will begin a season as the defending national champi-ons. Despite losing some key pieces from last year’s team, the 2013-14 edi-tion of EC women’s ice hockey has returned six of its top 10 scorers and is ready to bring another title back home.
The Soaring Eagles successfully defended their first national champion-ship, winning back-to-back titles in 2001-02 and 2002-03. EC became the first program to win NCAA Championships in each of their first two years of existence.
nEW usCho PollThe EC women’s ice hockey team held steady in the latest USCHO Poll, coming in as the number four team in the country. In fact, the entire top five stayed the same as the previous week’s poll as Elmira continues to look up at ECAC West rival, Plattsburgh State, Middlebury College, and Norwich University. The Soaring Eagles will have their chance to assert their superiority against the Panthers of Middlebury next week in a re-match of the 2013 National Championship game at the Cardinal-Panther Classic in Middlebury, VT.
