The process $e^{+}e^{-} rightarrow phieta$ is studied at 22 center-of-mass energy points ($sqrt{s}$) between 2.00 and 3.08 GeV using 715 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BESIII detector. The measured Born cross section of $e^{+}e^{-} rightarrow phieta$ is found to be consistent with {textsl{BABAR}} measurements, but with improved precision. A resonant structure around 2.175 GeV is observed with a significance of 6.9$sigma$ with mass ($2163.5pm6.2pm3.0$) MeV/$c^{2}$ and width ($31.1_{-11.6}^{+21.1}pm1.1$) MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
