Georgia Southern guard Jelani Hewitt, bottom, has his shot blocked by Elon forward Ryley Beaumont, left, during the second half at Hanner Fieldhouse Saturday.
Georgia Southern played its last game in Hanner Fieldhouse as a member of the Southern Conference, and it wasn’t a pleasant farewell. The Eagles missed six straight shots from the floor in the final 4 minutes, 58 seconds as the Elon Phoenix held on for a 66-61 win on Saturday afternoon. Lucas Troutman, one of the premier forwards in the SoCon, was his usual self for Elon (17-11, 12-3 SoCon), leading all scorers with 20 points.
