A different Battle of the Boulevard: Lipscomb and Belmont soccer clubs find community on the field
On Friday, Sept. 25, the soccer club hosted Lipscomb’s long-standing sports rival, Belmont, at the intramural field. Lipscomb won 7-0, however, the game was about more than competition. It was about camaraderie. Both soccer clubs are just over a year old. While Lipscomb’s started a semester before Belmont’s, the two groups have much in common. Both meet twice a week with the goal of competing against other schools. More importantly, both clubs have similar motivations. “For me and a lot of people, I think it’s just… we have the passion for the game,” said Jack Lowry, captain of Lipscomb’s soccer club. “It’s a great mental break.” These clubs are student-run.…

Lipscomb holds off late surge from Kentucky, upset Wildcats 2-1
The Lipscomb Bisons (3-4-1) defeated the Kentucky Wildcats (0-5-2) 2-1 at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex on Tuesday. The first day of autumn not only brought cooler weather, but an intense and rugged matchup between the Wildcats and the Bisons. The teams totaled 21 fouls, three yellow cards and 28 shots in a game where both fouls and shots were dominated by Kentucky. No one team dominated possession in the first 15 minutes, and nothing stood out about this out-of-conference clash.

Lipscomb men’s basketball head coach, Kevin Carroll, announced the team’s out-of-conference slate for the upcoming 2026-2027 season on Wednesday, Aug. 26. The schedule features 18 out-of-conference games this year, compared to just 13 a season ago.
