The Lady Bisons played the first set similar to last night’s match against Mercer — unorganized. However, the Lady Bisons swept Kennesaw State in three sets 25-18, 25-15 and 25-11. KSU was able to take advantage of this unorganized and unbalanced approach by Lipscomb in the first set. “I thought Kennesaw state did a really nice job in the first set of playing good defense,” said coach Brandon Rosenthal. “They put a lot of pressure on us.” The Lady Bisons then regrouped in the second set to win 25-15. “The only thing I asked was for us to keep up our defensive pressure,” Lipscomb sealed the first set 25-18 with a few consecutive kills from senior Alex Kelly. Seniors Alex Kelly, Jake Pease and Megan Hinemeyer took over in the second and third sets, making sure Lipscomb got the win. “They want to win every play,” Rosenthal said. “This is it for them and they know what’s at stake.” Middle blocker Alex Kelly led the Lady Bisons in kills with a match-high 17. She also recorded a match high 17 digs. Kelly hit .483 for the match. Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer added 11 digs for the Lady Bisons. Setter Stefine “Jake” Pease made 13 digs and posted 40 assists. Opposite Charlyn Ursell had nine kills and a match high .667 hitting percentage. No Kennesaw State players had more than six kills in the match. Alyssa Lang led the Owls with 12 digs. Camille Pedraza and Rachel Albright each had 10 digs. The Lady Bisons extended their conference regular season win streak to 26 matches. They have won their last 22 matches in...

Lipscomb University ranks as Nashville’s highest in the state in Washington Monthly rankings of master’s universities Amount of student service hours ranked third in nation NASHVILLE (Sept. 30, 2010) – Lipscomb University has been ranked 65th in the nation, by Washington Monthly in its master’s universities category, the only Nashville master’s category university to make the top 100. Washington Monthly is a magazine that established its own ranking system six years ago as an alternative to the well-knownU.S. News and World Reports rankings. The Washington Monthly rankings were designed specifically to measure how a university gives back to its community through providing social mobility to low-income students, providing volunteer service and research advancements. The 2010 rankings were reported in the September/October issue of Washington Monthly, now on newsstands, and Lipscomb’s rank can be found on the publication’s Website at: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings_2010/masters_universities_rank.php. More than 550 universities across the nation were included in the master’s-level listing. The Washington Monthly rankings consider the percentage of students receiving Pell grants; research expenditures; the number of students who go on to earn Ph.D.s, apply to the Peace Corps or participate in ROTC; and the number of community service hours carried out by students and full-time staff to develop a ranking that shows “what our colleges are doing for our country.” Lipscomb’s high ranking was due in large part to the university’s large number of student service hours, which Washington Monthly ranked as the third highest in the nation in the master’s category. The number of hours was taken from Lipscomb’s application to the President’s Community Service Honor Roll, which reported 121,910 in student service hours in the 2008-09 school year. “The...
