GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's soccer team­­ prevailed 4-1 over the Elon Phoenix in a non-conference match on Tuesday night at UNCG Soccer Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED
UNCG grabbed the game's first lead with 2:00 elapsed after Issah Haruna intercepted a pass from an Elon defender in front of the goal and sent it back in with his right foot. Then in the ninth minute, Arnaud Tattevin scored on a penalty kick after Steven Hernandez drew a foul a couple steps inside the box. Just over a minute later, UNCG made it 3-0 at 9:57 when Haruna scored off a give-and-go exchange near the top of the box with Tattevin. The Spartans carried a 4-0 lead into the half after getting another goal from Tattevin in the 34th minute that was assisted by Enzo Dovlo and Haruna on an odd-man rush down the pitch in the 34th minute.
