abstract = {Over the last century, a large variety of infinite congruence families have been discovered and studied, exhibiting a great variety with respect to their difficulty. Major complicating factors arise from the topology of the associated modular curve: classical techniques are sufficient when the associated curve has cusp count 2 and genus 0. Recent work has led to new techniques that have proven useful when the associated curve has cusp count greater than 2 and genus 0. We show here that these techniques may be adapted in the case of positive genus. In particular, we examine a congruence family over the 2-elongated plane partition diamond counting function $d_2(n)$ by powers of 7, for which the associated modular curve has cusp count 4 and genus 1. We compare our method with other techniques for proving genus 1 congruence families, and present a second congruence family by powers of 7 which we conjecture, and which may be amenable to similar techniques.},
