2015 Elon Phoenix men's soccer team

The 2015 Elon Phoenix men's soccer team represented Elon University during the 2015 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. It was the 44th season of the university fielding a program, and the 13th season in NCAA Division I competition. It was the program's second season with Chris Little as head coach. Little, the sixth head coach in program history, formerly coached the Carolina Dynamo of the Premier Development League before assuming his current role at Elon. On 12 September 2015, the Phoenix defeated in-state rival Davidson 4-0 to achieve its best start in school history (5-0-0).[1] On 22 September 2015, the team recorded a school record #8 ranking[2] by the NSCAA after mid-week victories over #7 Wake Forest and CAA opponent Drexel. Those wins improved their record to 7-0-0, thus extending the program's record start to seven wins.
