Lipscomb’s Lady Bisons volleyball players know how important it is to have other students supporting their efforts, so they didn’t even hesitate when their coach asked them if they wanted to go to the Lipscomb production of Les Misérables this autumn. Coach Brandon Rosenthal took a vote a couple weeks in advance and asked his team who wanted to plan on attending the show. Every hand in the huddle shot up without hesitation. “As athletes, we don’t always realize the hard work that theatre requires. It is foreign to us,” said junior Megan Stout. “The show was really eye-opening to how much dedication it requires to put on a show like that.” The team took advantage of a rare evening off to attend the show as a team on Nov. 6. “This was my first time seeing a Lipscomb show,” said sophomore Molly Spitznagle. “I was mesmerized the whole time.” The team’s busy fall semester does not allow for much time to attend events like these. They were leaving the next day for a match against ETSU in Johnson City. “We know how important it is to have supporters at our games,” said senior captain Caitlin Dotson. “The fact that we can support our classmates in the same way is awesome.” Casey Edwards, a junior theatre major who played Éponine in the production, knows from experience how important it is for both groups of students to be supported. Her freshman year, she played golf for Lipscomb and was in multiple performances. Golf and acting, however, are both full-time jobs, and she decided to pursue theatre. “We practiced over 20 hours a...

The end is near for the Lady Bisons Volleyball seniors. With the Atlantic Sun Tournament on the horizon, there is a sense of urgency in the air for this year’s seniors. Caitlin Dotson, Stephanie Rex, and Claire Peterson have played together the last four years, and they all know this is their last chance to leave their mark on this program. “There is a bit of added pressure knowing this is my last go around, and it is the last chance I have,” Dotson said. “I think, more than anything, that I love this team, and I love this group of girls, and I want the most for all of them, as well as ending my career on a positive note, as well as setting a standard for this program.” Dotson has been a staple player for the Lady Bisons since her freshman year. She says that she’s seen a shift in the A-Sun over the past season. Despite the Lady Bisons’ recent success, Dotson says it’s important to treat each time the same. “Conference has really leveled out, and it has been fun to see some teams rise up, and every game is a fun game. That is something that I actually really enjoy. We are getting hot right now, and the biggest thing is to stay hot and to not underestimate anybody and realize this is anybody’s game,” Dotson said. The Lady Bisons know that their ultimate goal is getting to the NCAA Tournament, but to reach that goal, these seniors know they must take care of business in their own conference. Stephanie Rex has made the...
