SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Emily Lucci recorded yet another double-double, tallying 15 kills and 13 digs as the Phoenix defeated Wofford 3-1 (30-28, 24-30, 30-27, 30-23) Saturday evening at Benjamin Johnson Arena.

Lucci hit .324 in the four-game set, adding a solo block and three block assists to her ledger.  The Phoenix had four players reach double digits in kills, led by Britany Westphal's 19.  Freshmen Lauren Copenhagen and Sarah Schermerhorn posted 11 and 10 kills, respectively.

Game one featured a competitive battle after the Terriers jumped out to an early 5-1 on a pair of kills from freshman Stacy Byrd. Elon (15-13, 9-5 SoCon) would battle back and force the score to be knotted at 9-9 before they claimed their first lead, 11-10, since an early 1-0 edge. Neither team had more than a two-point advantage until Shanna Hughes put Wofford up 20-17 forcing the Phoenix to call a timeout.

Schermerhorn would tie the game again at 24 apiece and Britany Westphal followed with another kill, leading to a Terrier timeout with Elon in front, 25-24. The teams traded points before Schermerhorn closed the game with a kill on a Natalie Moore assist for the game victory.

In game two, Wofford (9-17, 2-11 SoCon) found itself trailing 10-7 when Liz Sheets teamed with Joanna Suddath for a block. Sheets then proceeded to get the next kill as part of a 5-0 Terrier run to put the hosts ahead 12-10. Wofford's advantage would grow to as high as six, 20-14, following an attacking error by the Phoenix. Another error by Elon pushed the lead to seven, forcing another timeout, before Sheets tallied a service ace to give Wofford a eight-point cushion at 26-18. The Terriers held off kills by Lucci and Westphal to earn their only game win.

Game three was another competitive contest which featured 12 ties. Freshman Anna Gustafson forced a 17-17 deadlock on a kill but a block by Elon's Natalie Moore and Lucci started a 6-0 spurt by the Phoenix for a 23-17 lead. Wofford fought back to tie the game one last time at 27-27 on an attacking error by Elon, but the Phoenix capitalized on a pair of attacking errors by the Terriers to clinch the game triumph.

Elon would then take an early lead in game four and never looked back. The Phoenix lead grew to as much as seven on three instances, the last at 22-15, following a Wofford service error. Elon continued to increase its margin to nine, 28-19, on a service ace and withstood a late Terrier attempted comeback to record the game and match win.

Byrd led the Terriers with 15 kills, while Anna Gustafson had four block assists.

The Phoenix improves to 15-13 overall, 9-5 SoCon, while the Terriers drop to 9-17, 2-11 SoCon.

Elon returns to action at Appalachian State on Friday, Nov. 2 for a 7 p.m. match.
