Vanderbilt overpower Lipscomb 15-1 in Tuesday night clash
Lipscomb baseball fell to the Vanderbilt Commodores 15-1 on Tuesday night at Ken Dugan Field.

The Commodores jumped out to an early advantage in the top of the first inning. After sophomore infielder Brodie Johnston notched a single to center field, graduate outfielder Logan Johnstone followed with an RBI single to open the scoring. Vanderbilt added to the momentum in the second inning when sophomore utility Rustan Rigdon crushed a solo home run to the right field, extending the lead 2-0.

Bears overpower Bisons in 12-6 series opener
Lipscomb Bisons baseball dropped the series opener to Central Arkansas, 12-6, on Friday night at Ken Dugan Field.

Bisons walk-off in extras: Beddingfield’s heroics seal comeback over Colonels
In a marathon battle against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels and a biting late-March chill, the Lipscomb Bisons proved that patience and a little late-inning power pay off. Behind a game-tying blast in the ninth and a towering walk-off home run by freshman catcher Brock Beddingfield in the 12th, the Bisons secured a gritty 3-2 victory at Ken Dugan Field on Friday night. The evening started quickly for the Colonels. In the top of the first inning, Eastern Kentucky redshirt freshman outfielder Dylan Littlefield silenced the home crowd with a two-run homer off Lipscomb senior starting pitcher Alexander Llinas, jumping out to an immediate 2-0 lead. For the next several innings, the story was one of missed…

Carapazza writes her name in Lipscomb soccer history books
At the end of her 2025 spring season, Lipscomb midfielder Bella Carapazza, then a sophomore, had one personal goal for her upcoming season – win MVP. By the end of her 2025 fall season, as a junior, she’d done just that… and etched her name into the Lipscomb history books as just the second women’s soccer player to be chosen as an All-American. “The All-American was crazy. That was insane,” she said with a laugh. “That came out of nowhere. And it was even third team, and there’s four teams. That’s the best kids in the nation… it’s actually crazy. It was insane.” “I remember my phone was blowing up,…

Bisons MBB season ends in ASUN Championship tournament loss to FGCU
The Lipscomb men’s basketball team’s season came to abrupt halt Friday afternoon, as a dominant interior performance by the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles led to a 77-53 defeat in the ASUN Championship quarterfinals. Playing at the neutral-site VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, the Bisons struggled to find their rhythm against an Eagles squad that controlled the glass and the paint from start to finish. Lipscomb redshirt junior guard Mateo Esmeraldo opened the scoring with a layup, and the Bisons remained within striking distance early, trailing 11-8 at the first media timeout. But the offense stalled shortly after. FGCU went on a sustained run to push the lead to 32-14 with 9:08…

ASUN underdogs on their way to fight for the banner
When Lipscomb men’s basketball head coach Kevin Carroll took over the program, there were just a few days left with an open transfer portal. Most of Lipscomb’s basketball players had already graduated or transferred, and Carroll was left with just seven returning players. Of those seven, only three had started or seen major minutes. The other four had either redshirted, or not seen much court time. Carroll had just a few days to find transfers in the portal, and had to take his team up to a 15-man roster. When another of the seven left, he was set with the task of finding nine men before summer training. Despite the…

What an ASUN neutral site means for fans and players
The ASUN Conference’s decision to move its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to a neutral site in Jacksonville marks more than just a location change; it signals a shift in philosophy about what the postseason is supposed to represent. For years, the ASUN tournament has lived on campus floors, in packed student sections, and in the heart of communities that earned the right to host by grinding through the regular season. Now, that reward is gone, replaced with a single destination that, while convenient on paper, strips away much of what made March in the ASUN feel earned. Historically, the conference has seen some of its best crowds when the…
