Elon University’s women’s soccer squad played to a 3‑3 stalemate against Davidson College on Tuesday evening at the Alumni Soccer Stadium. The tie marks the second drawn game of the season for the Phoenix, who have now shared the spoils in seven matches over the past year.
The offensive output was led by senior forward Gabby Tirado, who found the net three times, while junior midfielder Isabel DiPrima and sophomore forward Isa Murdock each added a brace. DiPrima also logged an assist on Murdock’s second‑half strike, giving both players a three‑point night.
Second‑Half Surge Fuels Offensive Momentum
Grace Gelhaus contributed two helpers, marking her first multi‑assist performance of the campaign, and the trio’s combined effort helped Elon out‑shoot the Wildcats 11‑9. Naomi Person, the sophomore goalkeeper, posted a career‑high six saves, extending her streak of five or more stops to two consecutive games.
The draw underscores a broader trend: Elon has scored three or more goals in three of its first four contests, a feat not achieved since the 2013 season. Six of the team’s ten starters completed the full 90 minutes, including Talia Feigin, Jessica Hill and Alexis Pierce, highlighting the squad’s growing stamina.
Looking ahead, the Phoenix will host High Point at Rudd Field next Sunday, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. The match promises another test of Elon’s revamped attack as they seek to convert draws into victories.
