Phoenix softball splits doubleheader with Mocs

By Kyle Maher

The Elon University softball team split the first two of a three game road series with Southern Conference foe University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, dropping the first game 3-0 before salvaging the second game 5-4 in extra innings. In the first game, neither team was able to break the stalemate until the bottom of the third, when Mocs junior third baseman Sarah Beth Roberts hit a two-out single to right with a runner on second to give her team a 1-0 lead. An inning later, Chattanooga would add another on a one-out groundout to second from freshman first baseman Jesslyn Stockard to stretch its lead to 2-0. In the bottom of the sixth, the Mocs added an extra insurance run on a single from sophomore second baseman Criket Blanco to go up 3-0, which held up after Chattanooga held the Phoenix scoreless in the top of the seventh. Mocs sophomore starter Katie Henderson was superb, shutting out the Phoenix in a complete game four-hitter for her twelfth win of the season. Phoenix junior starter Caitlin O’Shea was saddled with her ninth loss of the season after lasting six innings, giving up three runs on four hits and walking two. In the second game of the day, the Phoenix used a two out home run from junior first baseman Grace Eng in the top of the eighth to give Elon a hard-earned 5-4 win. The Mocs broke through first in the bottom of the third on singles from sophomore shortstop Alyssa Taylor and Bianco to put Chattanooga up 2-0. But the Phoenix answered in the top of the fourth on a double to center from junior third baseman Aly Quintana, which knotted the game at 2-2. An inning later, the Phoenix took a 4-2 lead on a single to center from senior shortstop Ali Ford and an error from Mocs pitcher Taylor Deason. The Mocs cut the Phoenix lead to one, 4-3, in the bottom of the fifth on sophomore catcher Anyssa Robles foul out to left field and later knotted the game at 4-4 in the bottom of the seventh on an error from Phoenix senior second baseman Lauren Oldham. The Phoenix couldn’t walk off with the win in the last of the seventh, setting up Eng’s heroics in the first extra inning. Elon junior reliever Chelsea White was given the win after relieving freshman starter Alli Burdette.

Buddhist teacher reflects value of positivity at Elon

By Michael Papich

A touch of Tibet came to Elon University April 3 when Buddhist teacher and expert-meditator Geshe Gelek visited campus to promote strategies for positive thinking. “In my time in the United States, one thing I’ve learned here is that people are very hard on themselves,” Gelek said. Gelek, the resident teacher of Buddhism at the Kadampa Center in Raleigh, led a meditation and spoke at the Numen Lumen Pavilion in a visit sponsored by the Truitt Cente, Elon’s Asian Studies department and Iron Tree Blooming, Elon’s meditation society. Much of Gelek’s talk, filled with laughter and direct interactions with audience members, focused on Buddhist teachings and scholarship from the eighth century and the importance of using control of the mind to control the difficulties people face. “We cannot fix everything,” he said.

‘Hemos olvidado la conversación’: el VIH/SIDA todavía afecta al Sur a medida que disminuye la conciencia

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. 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. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".

‘We've forgotten about the conversation’: HIV/AIDS still hits the South as awareness fades

45 years after the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., the fight against this disease is far from over, especially in the South. According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the South accounted for 52% of all HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2023. "We know that HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate effect on people of color or queer people of color in this country," Professor of communication studies at Vanderbilt University Jeff Bennett said. "You have many people living in rural areas. You might have distrust of medical providers, you have the social stigma.”
