Finishing the season 7-5-6, the Phoenix often struggled turning the close games into victories, walking off the field with one point from the tie instead of two points from the win. “I think this means there is a history and tradition to attend ing exciting games under the lights on great fall evenings,” Reeves said. “Elon has many great teams that work very hard on and off the field, so to be rec ognized by the students for this is great.” “Pack the Rudd” was in full ef fect this year, as students and oth er fans descended on the intimate setting to cheer on the Phoenix. “Rudd Stadium and field is a fantastic facility for soccer and spectators,” Reeves said. “The closeness of the stands means you see the speed and skill up close in all areas of the stadium.
