The Lady Bisons closed out the regular season campaign with a 1-1 draw against ASUN newcomer, Bellarmine. The tie means that the team finishes the season with an undefeated conference record heading into postseason play. The match was tightly contested early on with strong defensive play from both teams. The defense was so intense that at halftime both teams only had one attempt at goal. At the 13:50 mark, Bellarmine’s Zenia Nava attempted a shot and Lipscomb senior goalkeeper Melissa Gray had the save. At the 42:51 mark, Lipscomb midfielder freshman Evee Reeder attempted a shot and Bellarmine’s Elyssa Francis had the save. It was 0-0 going into the second half. The offense started to pick up in the second period of play with Bellarmine scoring first. At the 50-minute mark, Isabella Zamborini scored a goal off the assist from Alex Harber. Less than ten minutes later Lipscomb responded with a goal from junior midfielder Kelli Beiler coming off junior midfielder Emanuela Schurch’s assist. The Lady Bisons were more aggressive the rest of the way with four more shot attempts requiring a save from Bellarmine’s Francis. The action required two overtime periods. The Bisons applied pressure the rest of the way, attempting six shots over the 20 minutes. A game-winner was almost scored by senior midfielder Kaitlin Echols near the 104-minute mark. Bellarmine goalkeeper Francis continued her strong performance with a clutch save. After 110 minutes of defensive soccer, both teams would have to leave with a draw added to their records. The ASUN tournament commences on April 10th as the Lady Bisons will be battling to three-peat as conference...

The Lipscomb University Department of Communication and Journalism hosted the inaugural Morality in the Media conference Friday. The conference consisted of a variety of journalists and speakers who talked about different aspects of the media. From the changing dynamic of the media and its consumers, to sessions about how to cover gun control issues and gay marriage. Department of Communication Chair Alan Griggs opened up the conference with a welcome to introduce the first speaker Kelly McBride. McBride is the Vice President of Academic Programs at the Poynter Institute. She discussed how the media has changed since the 20th century, and different trends in the media as it relates to consumers. “Students who are going into journalism, or any other form of communication, need to know that our ethics are changing,” McBride said. “They’re changing because the audience is changing.” McBride wanted to make it clear that young journalists need to be aware of their surroundings and paying attention to the changes in the world. “They constantly need to be developing new knowledge about how that audience is changing, and you do that by watching what technologies does the audience adopt,” McBride said. “In addition to all the knowledge you gained in your studies, you have to be adept enough at looking at what the audience is doing, how they’re doing it, particularly around technology.” Following McBride’s speech, there was a panel of guests who discussed the way the media covers controversial issues. The first issue was gun control. The speakers were: retired editorial page editor for The Tennessean Dwight Lewis, WREG-TV news director Bruce Moore, WSMV-TV news reporter...

The first set 25-18 and the second 25-17, but going into the locker room head coach Brandon Rosenthal had a talk with his team to get them prepared for set three. “There was a talk with the team. There’s an expectation that they’ve set, and it’s their responsibility to go after it,” Rosenthal said. Following the first two sets, the Lady Bisons came out on fire to win the third set 25-15 becoming the first team in the tournament to take Utah to four sets. Despite their efforts, the Lady Bisons came up three points short in the final set losing 25-22; however, Rosenthal was pleased with the effort from his team. “The talk after the match was just, hey I like what I saw,” Rosenthal said. “There is no chewing out or what not, well there was a little chewing out between two and three, but after the match, I mean, they gave me everything they had there in two and three, and that’s all you can ask for, and I’m really pleased with that.” At the end of the match, the Lady Bisons had more kills than the Utes, but were out-blocked. Brittnay Estes led the team with 13 kills in...
