Campbell’s season ends in CAA semifinals against Elon

Box Score ELON, N.C. – Campbell's season ended Sunday night, falling to Elon, 6-4, at Rudd Field in the CAA semifinals.
 
The Camels ended their campaign with a 10-6-4 record, their first 10-win season since 2022.
 
The Phoenix (8-3-6) scored three unanswered goals in the second half to create the final tally, as they move on to the CAA Championship game to face Stony Brook.
 
Elon opened the scoring with the first two goals of the contest. Jordin Wilson scored in the 18th minute, followed by Jahmir Flowers in the 39th minute.
 
The Camels brought one back just before the half in the 43rd minute off the foot of captain Jake Roberts. He sent the ball towards goal from outside the box, and after a deflection it found the back of the net. The goal was the first allowed by Elon at home all season.
 
Marco Wright evened the score at two apiece in the 59th minute with a quick poke past the keeper. His fifth goal of the season marked just the second time of the season Elon allowed multiple goals, the first also being against the Camels.
 
The Phoenix answered just over a minute later with a penalty kick conversion by Dominik Renz.
 
Campbell converted a penalty kick of its own in the 64th minute to tie the game at three once again. Skyler Wright drew the foul in the box, and Ethan Roberts converted the opportunity from the spot for the third time this season.
 
Elon answered quickly once again with a goal from Magnus Jacobsen in the 66th minute.
 
Renz scored his second of the match in the 74th minute, and Charlie Kitch added the final Phoenix goal in the 81st minute.
 
Kairi Saito provided CU's final goal off the bench in the 89th minute from a deflection after a saved shot by M. Wright.
 
The match saw 30 fouls called between the two teams, 14 for Cambell and 16 for Elon. The Phoenix were shown three yellow cards, and the Camels five.
