"I didn't know I was coming up to 1,000 until a couple days ago, started getting texts from friends and family, saying, 'Hey, here comes 1,000,'" Isenbarger said following the win.

Men's basketball concludes non-conference play with mixed feelings

By Kyle Maher

A little up, a little down. Perhaps a good way to describe the Elon University men's basketball team. The Phoenix entered its Saturday matinee matchup with Princeton University on a two-game winning streak, but was unable to close out its non-conference slate on a good note by falling 74-64. “It hurts, because we felt like were very prepared for them and we came out and played tentative the first half,” junior guard Jack Isenbarger said.
