Competition within Elon men's soccer pushes junior Jason Waterman forward

Elon University men’s soccer junior forward Jason Waterman isn’t after personal records. While Waterman has the job of filling the void left by Chris Thomas, who led the country in goals and points in 2012, following Thomas’ 23-goal season with one of his own isn’t what the forward is interested in.

Filling the gaps: Elon men's soccer looks to replace holes left by Thomas, Latigue

The holes in the Elon University men’s soccer team are very visible at a time when the Phoenix can least afford them. Coming off arguably the most successful season in program history, one in which then-senior Chris Thomas led the nation in goals scored with 23, the Phoenix enters 2013 as not only a team with a target on its back in the Southern Conference, but a team that can no longer slide under the radar and sneak up on nationally ranked programs. Thomas and Gabe Latigue, one of the anchors of the midfield from a season ago, are no longer donning the Elon uniform, which could be cause for concern with another tough schedule on tap and vital holes needing to be plugged. “Everybody now is more aware of our team and our program,” said Elon head coach Darren Powell.

Third Time is a Charm: Men's Soccer Goes for a 3-Peat.

Some sports teams never make it to a championship, much less win it. But, for the Elon Men's Soccer team, winning the "big game" has become a custom. For the past two seasons, Elon finished first in the Southern Conference, most recently defeating Wofford with a 2-1 score to claim the 2012 title. The team looks for much of the same heading into the fall 2013 season. "We're feeling good about it (winning the title)," junior Goal-Keeper Nathan Dean said.
