ELON, N.C. – Sixteen days away from its season opener on Aug. 21, the Elon University women's soccer team reported for preseason camp on Wednesday, Aug. 5.  The Phoenix women's soccer program is the first Elon team to get underway this fall, with several other programs reporting in the next week.
 
"We're thrilled to get underway," said Elon head coach Chris Neal. "We've been looking forward to this day for a long time and it was tremendous to see the investment and hard work each person put in during the summer to be ready for today and the start of the season."
 
Going into its second season in the Colonial Athletic Association, the Elon women's soccer program returns 22 letterwinners to this year's squad, including team captains Mel Insley, Taylor Glenn, Samantha Burch and Alexis de Groot.
