Elmira Seniors Hamilton and Lowe End Career with Player of the Week Honors
The Soaring Eagles' women’s soccer team had a successful week on the field as seniors Ellie Hamilton and Megan Lowe ended their careers by earning Empire 8 Player of the Week accolades.
Hamilton earned Empire 8 Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week accolades after scoring the game-winner in the 63rd minute as the Soaring Eagles pulled a huge upset of the visiting Ducks on Senior Day. The goal was Hamilton’s second in the last three games, as she had been held scoreless in the previous 13 contests.
Lowe earned Empire 8 Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week honors after having a big week in net helping the Soaring Eagles pull a huge upset of Stevens along the way. The senior made 12 saves, but couldn't get any goal support in a 1-0 loss Tuesday on the road at Geneseo. On Saturday Lowe stepped up in her final game in the Purple and Gold. She had 14 saves in a 2-1 upset of the Ducks. The senior made 11 of her 14 stops in the first half to keep the game tied heading in to halftime. Early on, she stopped four consecutive quality Stevens' shot attempts before EC got on the board on its first shot attempt.
Elmira completed its season 5-11-1 overall and 3-4 in the Empire 8.
