Elon Concludes Nonconference Slate, Enters CAA Play with Winning Record

Elon closed its nonconference portion of the schedule at the Schar Center on Monday, finishing a 13 game slate that included a signature win over Richmond and a close contest at Virginia Tech. The Phoenix entered the game with a 7 and 5 record overall and had already secured a winning nonconference record for the second straight season. The matchup against Greensboro College continued a short Division I era series in which Elon holds a 2 and 0 edge.

The contest was available to local viewers via FloCollege, with Taylor Durham on play by play and Will Roberson providing analysis. Fans also followed the game on the Elon Sports Network through The Varsity Network App and monitored live statistics through Statbroadcast. Those broadcast and streaming options kept the local community engaged while students were away from campus for the holiday break.

On the court, Elon showcased several themes that defined its nonconference run. The team produced balanced scoring and a notable victory over Richmond that underscored depth across the roster. Chandler Cuthrell emerged as a consistent scoring option, combining efficiency with volume, while Isaac Harrell supplied a recent scoring surge that helped sustain the Phoenix across multiple games. Elon also led the Colonial Athletic Association in three pointers made and in three point attempts, a trend that shaped its offensive identity this season.

The conclusion of nonconference play shifts the focus to CAA competition. Elon will host Northeastern on Dec. 29 and the College of Charleston on Dec. 31 to open conference play. Those games will have implications for travel schedules, departmental budgets, and the timetable for student and community attendance that bolsters local businesses surrounding the Schar Center.

For Alamance County residents, the transition marks the return of higher stakes conference matchups on campus and a concentrated period of home games that draw regional attention. Community members and university stakeholders will be watching how the team translates nonconference momentum into performance that affects postseason positioning and the broader visibility of Elon athletics.
