For Elias, it was 10th career goal at Concord. Additionally, she is one score away from matching her season total from last year.

Elias is ranked within the top five in the MEC in assists and total points. Elias is in a tie for fifth in the league in assists with three and is also fifth in points with nine.

Freshman forward Sarah Hill trails only Notre Dame's Jackie Corrigan for total goals. Hill has five versus six for Corrigan. The Somerset, England native is tied for second in points with 11.

Meanwhile, freshman midfielder Courtney Wallace is tied with Elias for assists in the league.

CU is 1-1 at home this season with a 1-0 win over West Liberty and a 3-0 loss to West Virginia Wesleyan.

Senior midfielder Micharae Thompson scored for the Mountain Lions versus West Liberty.

The first matchup between Concord and Charleston was a defensive battle as the Golden Eagles edged out a 1-0 victory.

CU outshot Charleston 6-4 in the match. Hill notched three shots on goal for the Mountain Lions.

In 2017, Concord has either matched or outshot its opponent in nine of 11 games.
