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.

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. The Eagles immediately answered Elon’s run with one of their own in the bottom of the first. 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.

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.
