HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Elon picked up its second victory of the season on Friday afternoon by downing St. Francis (Pa.) 2-1 in the opening round of the JMU Men's Soccer Tournament.

Brett Paschall scored two unassisted goals in the second half to rally the Phoenix (2-3-3) to the victory over the Red Flash (1-4-0).

St. Francis led 1-0 at halftime after a goal by sophomore Scott Thompson in the 39th minute. Thompson took a pass from freshman Jeremy Tice and sent a sharply angled shot into the far corner of the goal.

Paschall scored his goals on nearly identical plays. On each of his scores an Elon player sent a ball into the box, and the ball rebounded off a St. Francis defender to Paschall. He scored on a 18-yard shot in the 55th minute and from 15 yards out in the 76th minute.
