Elon University is a 1-AA school from outside of Greensboro, NC. They play in the Southern Conference, which also includes Georgia Southern, Citadel, Furman, and Appalachian State (among others). Lest you think a 1-AA school is going to be a pushover, the Southern Conference is a pretty damned tough baseball conference.
They're riding a pretty good streak, winning 20 of their last 25. The Dogs drew a tough regional, but that's what happens when you're Team 64.
