Surprised there was no mention of the quality win for the soccer team Saturday night. They beat Charlotte 2-0. Charlotte was the runner-up in the national championship game last year and returns a number of players from that team. Hopefully they can keep it up going into conference play. www.elonphoenix.com/news/2012/9/22/MSOC_0922125937.aspxGo Phoenix! |

Defintely a big win for the program. I read that over the weekend.
Sitting at 5-2, with a game against Radford before heading to the first SoCon game. It's shaping up to be a pretty good year.
Powell has done a pretty good job at Elon so far. 6 straight winning seasons, regular and tourney titles.....

I think I saw that Charlotte was ranked #6. Also Powell has done great recruiting. Last years wins over the ACC schools helped. After one of them, I think maybe Wake, there was a recruit who commit the morning after the big win. These big wins are definitely helping the program.

Was traveling for work this week and just noticed that Elon beat #18 WVU this week on the road. Chris Thomas is having a record breaking year as well.
Hoping they can continue to play well enough to be considered as an at-large team for the tourney. Two top 25 wins helps I'm sure, but the tourney field is much smaller for soccer. I think 48 teams.
Go Phoenix!

What a great win! They need to cart Thomas around campus to keep those legs and feet, free from injury!  |

What a great win! They need to cart Thomas around campus to keep those legs and feet, free from injury! No doubt. He's #2 in the nation in scoring at the moment. Another big game tomorrow night against conference favorites Furman. Two big games for the Phoenix tomorrow. Go Phoenix! |

Now ranked #17 in College Soccer America poll and #25 in College Soccer News. The team needs to stay focused though. A lot of good teams remaining in conference play and some ACC opponents still to come.
Go Phoenix!

I saw that pop up in my newsfeed this morning. The UNCG guys told us Powell would be a good one!

The team got another big win against Wake last night. UNCG and Duke left. Really need to win both of those to keep at large hopes alive. 4-1 against ranked teams this season.
Go Phoenix!

beat me to it ELON, N.C. – Chris Thomas scored his 50th career goal as the Elon men’s soccer team posted its fifth shutout of the season in a 1-0 win against Atlantic Coast Conference foe Wake Forest on Tuesday night, Oct. 23, at Rudd Field. The No. 13 Demon Deacons (9-3-4) became the third ranked team to fall and be shutout at home for the Phoenix this season. Elon (11-4-1) has now posted shutouts three of its past four matches against ACC opponents, including two straight against the Demon Deacons. The Phoenix also improved to 4-1 on the year against ranked competition. elonphoenix.com/news/2012/10/23/MSOC_1023125351.aspx |

Great win - only goal was a PK, but a win is a win. And the defense is doing an outstanding job.
