Spartanburg, S.C.- After last night's postponement, the Elon Phoenix (3-0) offense came out hot with four first half goals to push past the Wofford Terriers (1-4) Monday morning, 4-2. This is Elon's third straight win to start the season and matches Elon's win total from a season ago.  
 
Isa Murdock and Gabby Hoschek shared the spoils in the first half with both players collecting a goal and an assist in the first 45 minutes. Murdock would find the back of the net again before Kennedy Jones found herself on the scoresheet in the win.
