ELON, N.C. – The Elon University men's soccer team and head coach Marc Reeves announced the program's 2024 fall schedule on (Date TBD). The Phoenix's 20-game slate will feature 12 home matches at Rudd Field and four contests versus teams that made the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
 
"We have put together another very strong schedule and are excited to see our group compete this fall," said Reeves. "We play some top teams out of conference and the CAA will again be a challenging league with great programs, coaches and players. We had a solid spring semester and believe our returning core group of players have the experience for it to be a successful season. Our new additions will need to adapt quickly as they look to impact in a positive way."
 
Elon begins the fall campaign with exhibition friendlies at home versus Cape Fear on Aug. 9, at NC State on Aug. 13 and at home versus VCU on Aug. 17. The regular season starts on Thursday, Aug. 22 versus Florida Gulf Coast at Rudd Field before another home matchup against Radford on Aug. 26 awaits the Phoenix before the month closes out at Coastal Carolina on Aug. 29.
 
The Phoenix opens the month of September hosting Grand Canyon on Sept. 2 before beginning CAA play versus Drexel on Sept. 7 at Rudd Field. The Dragons are coming off a 9-2-5 overall ledger last fall while reaching the quarterfinal round in the CAA Tournament.
