2. Strong Inside, Been Here Before
- Graduate transfer Quinzia Fulmore and sophomore transfer LaNae' Corbett have played in the CAA before, giving the Phoenix an experience boost with two of their newcomers.

- Corbett comes to the Phoenix squad after spending her freshman campaign at Hofstra. She was named to the 2024-25 All-CAA Rookie Team, averaging 10.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
- Fulmore is a powerhouse inside and continues to lead the Phoenix on the boards with 7.0 rebounds per game, which is tied for eighth in the CAA. She also ranks fourth in the CAA in blocks per game (1.5).
- Corbett leads the Phoenix offense with three double-figure games this season while averaging a team-high 10.8 PPG.
- Both Corbett and Fulmore showcased a strong post presence against Presbyterian two games ago on Nov. 10, as both reached double figures and combined for 28 points.
3. Walker In Motion
- Junior Tyana Walker joins Corbett and Fulmore as a transfers on the Elon roster after spending her last two seasons at Howard, where she was named 2024 MEAC Rookie of the Year and was selected to the All-Rookie Team.
- Walker nearly notched a double-double in the season opener at ETSU, finishing with nine points and a career-high 11 rebounds. The junior transfer helped Elon control the paint and create second-chance point opportunities. She also added two assists and a steal in 25 minutes of action.
- Walker continued her performance on the glass in the second game of the year, tying for second on the team with four rebounds against No. 11 North Carolina.
- Walker showcased her offensive game against Presbyterian, reaching double-figures for the first time this season with 10 points, going 2-for-4 from downtown.
- Walker recorded three three-pointers, marking her second game this season with two or more made from beyond the arc against her former squad Howard.
4. Rookies Finding Their Rhythm
- Elon freshmen Ashanti Fox and Tamia Watkins continue to find their rhythm, playing key roles in the Phoenix rotation early this season.

- Watkins provides an interior presence, ranking second on the team with 5.0 rebounds per game. She posted a season-high 15 points in Elon's Education Day win over Presbyterian.
- Together, the duo continues to emerge as reliable contributors off the bench, offering steady scoring and versatility in the backcourt.
5. Charlotte Era, Year 15
- It's year 15 at Elon for head coach Charlotte Smith.
- Under Smith's leadership, the Phoenix have captured two CAA Championships (2017, 2018) and made multiple postseason appearances, including the program's NCAA Tournament berths (2017, 2018).
