Haunted – Preds fans scared by October start
The Nashville Predators are desperately looking to scrape together some wins. One month into the NHL season, things aren’t going as planned for the Preds. From the very first game, the team’s Western Canadian road trip began with disappointment. The Edmonton Oilers slaughtered the boys from Smashville 7-4, moving the Predators’ season record down to 3-6-1. The Predators season so far has not been very stellar. A struggling offense, leaky defense and a weak power play, are just some of the issues the team has been facing lately. On paper, the Predators have a highly skilled team capable of being at the top of the central division. How do the…

Freshman DiVita sits at center of volleyball’s future
As just a freshman, Jada DiVita has already cemented herself as a key piece of Brandon Rosenthal’s team for years to come. DiVita isn’t new to early success, though.

Murr makes new legacy after high school stardom
Tommy Murr routinely walks through Lipscomb’s campus as just another normal guy, in and out of Bennett Campus center without being stopped for a picture or an autograph. He walks into the practice facility where he’s just another one of the guys. Life wasn’t always that simple for the Alabama native, though. From day one, basketball was a “huge pillar” of the Murr family. “Growing up it was like every single day there was college basketball on the TV,” Murr said. “We had a really really great bond over that.” Murr’s dad Steve was his high school coach and played collegiate basketball at the University of Tennessee Temple.

Three takes from basketball exhibition victory
After nearly an eight month hiatus, basketball returned to Allen Arena on Monday night. Lipscomb women’s basketball unofficially opened their season Monday night against Blue Mountain College, a NAIA team that surprisingly took the Bisons to the wire. Although the game does not officially count on either team’s record, it certainly wasn’t uneventful; the Bisons’ preseason debut consisted of a 10 minute scoreboard delay and a pressure-filled finish. Lipscomb was able to hold on in the final seconds to cap off a 72-67 victory over their NAIA opponent, but it wasn’t without a brief scare from a talented Toppers team. The Bisons were led by a starting group of point…
