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.

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.

When another of the seven left, he was set with the task of finding nine men before summer training. Despite the…
