Men's soccer battles Duke to scoreless draw, earns SoCon regular season championship

By Kyle Maher

After 120 minutes of hard-fought soccer, the Elon University men’s soccer team was unable to put the ball in the back of the net, ending the game with a scoreless draw against the defensive-minded Duke University Blue Devils, a strong team from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Phoenix came into the game riding a three game winning streak, including a win over fellow ACC foe Wake Forest University; the fourth ranked team the Phoenix has beaten this season. This game, however, was a game with a different style of play against a defensive-minded Duke team, a back line that goalkeeper Nathan Dean believes is one of the best in the nation. “They showed today how strong they can be in the back,” Dean said.
