Winston-Salem, N.C.- Tomasz Wroblewski climbed to new heights in net for the #14 Elon Phoenix (6-0-1) Tuesday night. Wroblewski finished with a career-high 13 saves as a short-handed Phoenix squad drew 1-1 with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (2-2-3).
 
Colin Veltri continued his hot pace as he scored in his fifth straight game to give Elon their lone goal of the night. Veltri has now secured a point in all seven games with the Phoenix this season.  
 
How It Happened

• From the beginning of the match, Elon was able to handle the Wake Forest pressure. After a spell of possession by the Demon Deacons, Elon surged on a counterattack after Wroblewski's first save.

• Elon nearly found another opportunity when Veltri went down in the penalty box, but after video review, no foul was awarded.

• The trends of the first half continued in the second with Elon absorbing Wake Forest's pressure.
• Wake Forest finally got a shot past Wroblewski in the 80^th minute which proved to be the decider as the teams would settle for a 1-1 draw.
