Elon loses groove, struggles to respond in loss at UNCG

By Tommy Hamzik

GREENSBORO — A momentum shift midway through the match once again proved to be Elon University’s undoing. The Phoenix volleyball team fell into a lull to start the second set in a 3-0 (25-23, 25-13, 25-19) loss to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro on Tuesday night in Fleming Gym. UNCG, which hit .308 (46 kills, 13 assists, 107 attempts) as a team, stole all the momentum early in the second set, racing out to leads of 7-2 and 12-3, both of which prompted Elon timeouts. A stretch later of seven straight Spartans points put them up 21-6. “They put a lot more pressure on us serving,” Elon head coach Mary Tendler said.

By Tommy Hamzik

Frantically going through her phone with a sentiment of jubilation swirling in her mind, Nicole Dennion held off the joy for just one moment to send a simple, powerful five-word text message in all capital letters to her teammates: “MY PET SCAN WAS CLEAR!” The memo incited utter hysteria from the Elon University women’s soccer team, signifying the triumph of Dennion in her battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma, an aggressive form of cancer that affects the bone and its tissue.

Ball State transfer seizes opportunity as safety for Elon

By Matt Mallian

When Rich Skrosky accepted the head coaching position at Elon University in December, he was returning to a familiar program — he was an assistant there from 2006-to-2010.

Blair used his redshirt year last year at Ball State before transferring to Elon with Skrosky.

Grief, loss support group provides comfort for Elon faculty, staff

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.

Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023.
