Elon Notes:

• The Phoenix are 1-2 on the season, coming off of a 1-0 home loss to UNC Greensboro on Friday night. Elon previously defeated College of Charleston (2-0 on Aug. 19) and fell to High Point (2-1 on Aug. 21), both at home.

• In that contest, then-sophomore Catrina Atanda scored two goals, while then-freshman Shannon Horgan tallied four assists, a figure which is tied for first in program history in assists in a single match.
