Elon Phoenix baseball and softball teams had an extraordinary day on February 28, 2026, achieving no-hitters in their respective games, a rare feat in college sports. The Associated Press, The Washington Post, and MLB.com all highlighted this remarkable accomplishment. Director of Athletics Jennifer Strawley, a former pitcher herself, praised the teams' efforts, emphasizing the total team effort and the plays made behind the scenes that enabled the pitchers to enjoy the moment. Anna Dew of the softball team completed a six-inning perfect game against Charleston Southern, while the baseball team pitchers, Aidan Stieglitz, Mike Staiano, and RJ Latkowski, pitched their own no-hitter against Fairfield. Dew's perfect game was Elon's first since 2022, and Strawley noted the special moment for the student-athletes, coaches, and the institution as a whole, bringing some much-needed publicity.
