Women’s basketball drops second tight contest in a row to College of Charleston

Three points. That’s the point differential in the last two games for the Elon University women’s basketball team that have left Elon 0-2 in those games. Turnovers plagued both the Phoenix and the visiting College of Charleston Cougars all afternoon, but it was the Cougars that came away with the hard-fought win over the Phoenix, 57-55, in the Southern Conference opener. One of the 25 turnovers the Cougars tallied in the game almost cost them the game down the stretch. Up by one point at 56-55, junior guard Jillian Brown held the ball for a majority of the shot clock.

It was evident by the way three men responded to the passing Storm Troopers with an outstretched arm; by the way Landsberger’s teammates harassed him following a soccer game; by the way his father fell silent after surviving a month in Buchenwald; by the way Germany slowly disappeared from view as he headed toward London, a passenger on the Kindertransport. “I don’t think I had any regrets about leaving because I was so aware of the terrible situation,” Landsberger, 86, said.
