ELON, N.C. – Sophomore Landen Roupp went the distance for UNCW in the first game of a Colonial Athletic Association doubleheader on Sunday at Latham Park as the Seahawks edged Elon, 2-1. The Phoenix earned a split with a 2-1 win in the bottom of the 11th inning in the nightcap.

The Seahawks moved to 26-27 with the split, but earned a series win over the Phoenix to run their record to 10-11 in the league. Elon, meanwhile, improved to 30-22 and 19-5.

Roupp (4-2) tossed his first career complete game and the first for UNCW this season. The righthander allowed an unearned run on two hits, a walk and he struck out five.

In game two, Zarion Sharpe tied his career-high with 10 strikeouts, but did not figure in the decision. The lefthander held Elon off the board for 6.2 innings, allowing two hits and walking one.
