Series History

GSU lost twice to Elon last season and has been eliminated from the SoCon Tournament by the Phoenix in each of the last two seasons. Georgia Southern dropped a 1-0 result last season at the SoCon Tournament in Cary, N.C.
Scouting Georgia Southern
Georgia Southern got a goal just before halftime from Witt Carlisle, but surrendered two in the second half to fall to Georgia State on Friday. Carlisle now has a team-high four goals this season for the Eagles.
Neal Bates has shined this season in goal with 67 saves between the pipes. The senior ranks fifth nationally in total saves and sixth in saves per game. He boasts a .807 save percentage which ranks 42nd in the NCAA.
Scouting Elon
Elon is averaging 1.75 goals per game, scoring 21 total goals this season. The prodigious scoring has been helped by the play of Matt Wescoe who has seven assists to rank third nationally.
The Phoenix, however, were knocked from their perch on Saturday, dropping a 2-1 result in overtime to league-leaders Wofford
