By Edith Veremu

From the time he started playing soccer at age four, freshman forward Thorsten Pacher knew he wanted to continue playing the sport and be part of a soccer program at a university in the United States. Now, he's getting that chance. Pacher, a native of Rottenmann, Austria, has been playing soccer for 13 years and said he enjoys the sport even though it isn't popular in Austria. "Skiing is more popular in my country, but I started playing soccer with my friends," Pacher said.

Men's soccer aims for Elon history: SoCon title, NCAA bid

By The Pendulum

The Elon University men's soccer team hopes to achieve something this season that has never been done in program history, senior defender Austen King said. The goal: to win the Southern Conference tournament and earn a berth into the NCAA tournament. Elon was the regular season champion in 2008, when this year's seniors were just freshmen, yet the tournament title has eluded the Phoenix over the years. But the expectation this year is to win both and gain an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, King said. "Realistically, we have a team that can do that, judging from how guys are playing this summer and the guys we have coming back," he said. The Phoenix returns nine of 11 starters, including 2010 SoCon Player of the Year junior forward Chris Thomas.
