ELON, N.C. — The Elon University women’s soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to Wake Forest on Sunday, March 28.
“Due to us losing three games early in the season, this was a really important weekend for us to get games in against the strongest of opposition,” said head coach Neil Payne. “We played the SEC recent champs on Thursday, turned around quickly and played a fresh Wake Forest today. We’ve come out of the weekend fitter, stronger and excited for conference play. There are so many positives to take away from this weekend and we’re a completely different team now than we were a month ago.”
