Greenville, S.C. -- Catherine Brinkman scored her first two goals of the season, including the match-winner in double overtime, to rally Elon from a two-goal deficit as the Phoenix downed Furman 3-2 in Southern Conference women's soccer action on Friday evening at Stone Stadium.

The loss dropped Furman to 8-5-2 overall and 3-2-2 in the SoCon.  Elon upped its record to 9-5-1 overall and 4-3-0 in league play.

With less than a minute and a half to play in the second overtime period, Brittany Hallberg played a ball into the path of Brinkman near the penalty spot and the freshman tucked a shot into the left-hand corner past charging goalkeeper Jessica Smith at the 108:43 mark to lift the Phoenix to their second straight win over the Paladins.

Furman raced out to a 2-0 lead in the opening 21 minutes of the match behind goals from Rachel Shelnutt and Laura White.  Shelnutt, a junior from St. Simons Island, Ga., took a pass and exploded around the left side of the Elon defense before placing a left-footed shot into the far right corner at 5:57 to give the Paladins a 1-0 advantage on her league-leading ninth goal of the season.

In the 21st minute, Ashley Creavalle lofted a bending cross towards the penalty spot from the right sideline that Casey McKeon settled and shot on goal.  Elon keeper Kristen Haney made a diving save, but White deposited the rebound into the back of the net for her third goal of the campaign as Furman upped the lead to 2-0.

Chelsey Stark gave the Phoenix new life in the 37th minute dribbling from the midfield past four Paladins defenders before touching a shot into the right corner to put Elon on the board and trim the Furman lead to 2-1 at intermission.

Elon pinned in the Furman defense in the second half and outshot the Paladins 8-3 over the final 45 minutes of regulation, but the Phoenix failed to find the net until Brinkman buried a shot from the left side of the box on an assist from Kimmie Krauss at 79:32.

The Phoenix held a 21-17 edge in shots while each team totaled nine shots on goal.  Haney registered seven saves for Elon while Smith stopped six shots for Furman.

Furman wraps up its home schedule on Sunday when it hosts 20th-ranked UNC Greensboro at 2 p.m.  The Paladins will honor seniors Ashley Creavalle, Graham Marchman, Chelsea McKie and Meagan Zusi prior to kickoff.

Elon travels to face Wofford on Sunday afternoon in Spartanburg, S.C.
