Last Time Out
The Ithaca offense remained white-hot at home in the team's last outing, a 7-0 triumph over Nazareth College on Saturday. IC scored five times in the first half, which included a three-goal spurt over a 2:17 span late in the opening half to blow the game open. The Bombers tacked on two more tallies in the second half to cap the 7-0 romp. The victory upped Ithaca's record to 3-1 in Empire 8 play, while it jumped the team's overall record back above .500 at 4-3.
 
Delia Doubling Down
Senior forward, Lauren Delia, has been on a scoring tear over recent contests. She found the cage twice during Saturday's lopsided victory over the Golden Flyers, her third multi-goal effort over her last four games overall. Her second goal of the afternoon brought her season total to six, setting a new career-high with over half the regular season left.
 
Conference Leaders
Due to her two-goal effort on Saturday, Colleen Keegan-Twombly is back on top of the conference's scoring charts, sitting in a tie for the top spot with 16 points on six goals and four assists. She joins Emily Markarian of St. John Fisher as the only two players in the conference to rank in the top three of the conference statistical charts in points, goals, and assists. The Bombers are also the only team to have two players ranked in the top-five for goal scoring, as Delia and Keegan-Twombly are tied for second in the conference with six goals apiece. Michaela Donohue also ranks high in the conference assist rankings, as her five on the year are good for second-most in the conference.
