Elon Phoenix Athletics

Thirty-six Elon University students received Southern Conference recognition for their superior academic performance and participation in at least half of their squads' fall competitions.

A former offensive coordinator for the Phoenix who has served as Ball State University's offensive coordinator for the past three seasons, Skrosky returns to Elon to lead the university's move to the Colonial Athletic Association in 2014.

Elon University will hold a news conference on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 12 p.m. in which Director of Athletics Dave Blank will introduce the new head coach of Phoenix football to members of the media and the Elon community.

The Phoenix traveled to Los Angeles to take on UCLA in the second round of the NCAA tournament and fell 4-0 to the top-ranked Bruins.

For a second straight year, the Phoenix sweeps conference Coach and Player of the Year awards.

The Phoenix women's soccer sophomore forward leads the league in goals and is tied for the most points in the Southern Conference.

A late-game penalty kick helped the Phoenix top an opponent that had been ranked sixth in the nation prior to the game.

The Phoenix are tied for 10th in the Oct. 29, 2013, NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Women's - Southeast poll.

Hill, a longtime university supporter, currently serves as president of the Elon Alumni Board; Deatsch will serve a two-year term as a youth trustee.

Squads were honored June 5, 2013, when the NCAA announced its latest academic progress report for Division I sports teams.
