Bisons fall to Belmont 2-0 in storm-delayed rivalry
Lipscomb men’s soccer fell to archrival Belmont 2-0 on Sunday, Sept. 21, at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex in the 28th annual Battle of the Boulevard.

Ognacevic rounds out season with two tournaments, one ring and one Big Ten opportunity
Before the 2024-25 men’s basketball season started, if you’d asked senior forward Jacob Ognacevic what his goals were, he’d tell you three things: win the ASUN, make it to the NCAA Tournament and pursue undeniability.

With the close of the 2024-25 basketball season, he was finally able to secure that ring. Not only that, but the Bisons made their way to the NCAA Tournament, playing against the Iowa State Cyclones in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Meanwhile,…
