After hitting a surge of 3-pointers throughout the game, the Phoenix held on to oust the Towson University Tigers, a team the Phoenix hadn’t beaten in two prior tries this season, 74-69 in overtime of a Colonial Athletic Association Tournament opening round game on Friday, March 6 at Royal Farms Arena. “Towson is tough and they fought us until the end,” Elon head coach Matt Matheny said.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NreA_WaK9Gg&noredirect=1&w=560&h=315] BALTIMORE -- The Elon University men's basketball team survived a late scare from Towson in the first round of the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament, escaping Royal Farms Arena with a 74-69 overtime victory on Friday night. With two seconds left in regulation and the game knotted at 62 apiece, Elon senior guard Austin Hamilton launched an open jumper from the free throw line to win the game, but it fell just short, hitting the front of the rim, the backboard and teasing the Elon bench before it fell off the rim. "It didn't go in, we wanted it to go in and avoid overtime, but that's just the way the ball falls sometimes," Hamilton said.

Kappa Sigma new member activities suspended

By Caroline Fernandez

All new member activities in Elon University’s Kappa Sigma, Lambda-Lambda chapter have been suspended, according to an email from Smith Jackson, vice president for student life. Jackson said the suspension was in response to an investigation involving new members in the fraternity who were found by police in a Virginia cemetery early in the morning March 4. When the students were approached they told the police they were there to pay their respects. The cemetery in Abingdon, Virginia– a town of around 8,000 people that is approximately three hours northwest of Elon – is home to one of Kappa Sigma’s founders. Jackson said the group did not damage property but was cited for trespassing in the cemetery. This marked the third incident in four months involving an Elon fraternity. In November, Sigma Pi was issued a three-year suspension for hazing and Pi Kappa Phi is currently under investigation for alleged hazing.
