University Historian compiles, celebrates Elon's past in new book

By mstutz

As Elon continues to celebrate its 125th anniversary, one member of the Elon community is celebrating this year for another reason. George Troxler, a professor emeritus of history, has worked at Elon University for more than 40 years and currently serves as the university historian. After three years of research and writing, Troxler recently published a book entitled "From a Grove of Oaks: The Story of Elon University." The book recounts Elon's history from its founding to the present day. Troxler hopes his book will be more than just a coffee table read. "I'm hoping that the people who are going to read it, primarily Elon alumni and people that are associated with the school," Troxler said.

By Kyle Maher

The Elon University softball team concluded its weekend series with Georgia Southern University on the wrong end of a decidedly one-sided 9-1 loss to the Eagles March 23 in Statesboro, Ga. The Phoenix struck first in the top of the first on a solo home run down the left field line from senior center fielder Carleigh Nester, the only run of the day for the visitors.

Emily Snider laid down a sacrifice bunt that Elon junior starter Caitlin O’Shea fielded and threw to first to get the sure out, allowing Taylor Rogers to score. In the bottom of the third, the Eagles seized control of the game.

Elon loses in stunning fashion to Towson

By Kyle Maher

It looked as though the Elon University softball team would escape Hunt Softball Park March 20 with a victory over nonconference foe Towson University, but the Tigers had other ideas, scoring two runs in the top of the seventh and holding the Phoenix scoreless in the bottom of the inning to pull out a hard-earned 8-7 win. Up one and with junior reliever Caitlin O’Shea having shut the Tigers out for the previous three innings, the Phoenix entered the top of the last three outs from their 17th win of the season. But the Tigers used Phoenix miscues and a couple of fortunate breaks to scratch out a pair of runs. A one out bloop single from Tigers senior third baseman Delanie Dunham was the first of the team’s fortuitous breaks.

Panthers left behind in free agency race

By Matt Mallian

NFL free agency requires a fast-acting front office, as the most coveted free agents are signed shortly after the period begins.  Many players even come to contract agreements with teams before free agency formally begins, though they cannot officially sign on the dotted line until free agency opens. One team that is being left in the dust in this process is the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers made it to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2008, but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional round.  Led by their dominating defense, the Panthers looked like a team on the rise. But a lack of movement during the free agency period that began March 11 is troubling and is leaving the team’s promising future in doubt.
