Volleyball suffers another straight-set loss
The Lipscomb volleyball team suffered their second loss at home to ASUN competition as they lost to Jacksonville State in three sets.

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.

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.
