As election season swings into season around Elon University, a visitor from the opposite coast chose an apt time speak to students about the growing political divide in the United States.

The play of both teams, though, was rather lackluster in a 0-0 draw at Rudd Field. Coming off a big win against Duke University last Wednesday, the Phoenix struggled to generate any tempo throughout the match against a James Madison team that appeared to be inferior on paper. The Dukes dominated the Elon side of the field for a vast majority of the first half.
