Safety, respectful behavior in living spaces deserves greater priority

Having spent my last three years as a student here at Elon, I was sure for the longest time that nothing more about college living could faze me.

Men's tennis beats Brown in tight match Friday

After rallying to secure the doubles point, the young Elon University men’s 5ennis team split the singles to earn to a 4-3 win over Brown University Friday afternoon at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center. “It’s nice just to get a good, tough match outdoors in because we haven’t had one,” said head coach Michael Leonard, “That was something we really needed.” The Phoenix (5-3) trailed in doubles after losing 6-0 at No. 2, but freshmen Mario Paccini and Salvador Mijares rallied to win No. 1 doubles on a tiebreaker 7-6 (7-5).

Men's basketball's scoreless run to end game costly in Senior Night loss

Elon University men’s basketball’s senior night ended like a handful of other home games as the Phoenix let a lead slip away late as the College of William & Mary took home the 75-65 victory in.
