Men’s Soccer wins its third straight ASUN conference tournament championship
Lipscomb University men’s soccer won its third straight ASUN Championship Saturday, defeating Bellarmine 1-0. The Bisons were charging early, but it was not easy. Excellent goal protection by Bellarmine’s Lukas Tharp prevented a set of goals early from Malachi Jones. That included a saved penalty kick by Tharp to keep the Bisons from catching an early lead.

Juan Carlos Rodriguez received a red card, putting the Bisons down a man and having to go…

With about 2,500 students living on campus, they often walk across campus from building to building at night. Commuter students find themselves in this situation the most. Staying late with friends, studying or attending class requires them to walk back to their cars at night. …
