Tonight’s game was a story of two penalties but resulted in a 1-0 win for the Bisons against the North Florida Ospreys. Despite the muddy field from the day full of rainy weather, the Bisons played their hardest, pulled out a solid win and gained a spot in the ASUN Tournament. Head Coach Charles Morrow said he is “just really proud of the group and the team tonight.” The first penalty came as Lipscomb junior forward Javier Leija was fouled in the box, allowing senior midfielder Ben Locke to score the first and only goal of the game in the 21st minute off of the penalty kick. The Bisons entered the second half with a 1-0 lead which would remain the same throughout the rest of the game. The second penalty came in the 69th minute from UNF’s senior midfielder Taylor Martin, but the penalty kick was blocked by redshirt-junior goal keeper Luke Wilson. Wilson then blocked a second shot directly after the penalty save and totaled out with five saves during the game, 16 on the season. This win allowed the Bisons to clinch a spot in the ASUN tournament for the 13th consecutive season. The Bisons have won the tournament two years in a row. The Bisons will play at Liberty on November 2nd. Liberty also won tonight 1-0 against Jacksonville tonight. With the win, Liberty will remain in contention for a spot in the ASUN Conference Soccer Championship. “Experience is just really important,” said Morrow, “beyond experience, it’s these guys understanding that you don’t win and lose the season on one game, that the whole season...

The Black Professional Organizational Fair provided Lipscomb students from diverse backgrounds and experiences the chance to get connected early in their chosen fields. Lipscomb’s Office of Intercultural Development and College of Business partnered together to host the fourth annual Black Professional Organizational Fair this past Tuesday. The event featured food from local black-owned businesses and representatives from various black professional organizations ready to meet, network & provide resources to students. Dean of Student Life, Prentice Ashford, pointed out that events like these are important for students to take advantage of, even if you’re nervous about approaching someone in your career field. “The fair is designed for students who are overwhelmed or for those who don’t know how to connect professionally,” Ashford said. “We try to make it intimate and small to where you feel like you can build the confidence to just keep making your way around.” Both local and national societies from a wide variety of fields provided networking opportunities to encourage students to join their organization. Among those in attendance were the National Association of Black Accountants, National Black Nurses Association, and the Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce. However, the connections and partnerships made at the fair shouldn’t stop here. “Make sure you follow up. Students who went to these tables should get their contact information and ask, ‘What would be the most appropriate method to follow up with you?’, Ashford said. Then, actually do that! And utilize the career center and OID on campus so we can hopefully get you ready to make a difference at one of these organizations.” If you have questions or want...

Bring your own blanket and join Lipscomb’s Delta Omega for a ‘Hocus Pocus’ movie night that reinforces the club’s commitment to Best Buddies. Delta Omega philanthropy chair Erin Whiting said plans for the movie night began in the summer, and the club pondered which movie to show for this autumn celebration. “We talked about how the Buddies really like ‘Hocus Pocus’ and ‘Nightmare before Christmas,’ and (we) decided to go with ‘Hocus Pocus,'” she said. The event will take place in the Quad, with snacks and s’mores beginning at 6:30 p.m. this evening and the movie starting at 7 p.m. The cost is a “pay-what-you-can” donation to benefit Best Buddies. Best Buddies is a nonprofit global volunteer movement whose goal is to establish one-on-one friendships, employment, leadership development and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, according to the organization. Lipscomb has an on-campus Best Buddies chapter that includes associate members and one-on-one Buddies. Delta Omega has been working with Best Buddies since 2013, and the club’s involvement is expanding. “One of the changes I have made as philanthropy chair for Delta Omega is getting more involved with them as members, going to their parties and hanging out with them more,” said Whiting, of the relationship between the Greek Club and Best Buddies. “We used to do a fundraiser with Best Buddies, ‘Mr. Lipscomb,’ but weren’t very involved with them,” Whiting said. “That [Best Buddies] was one of the reasons I wanted to join Delta Omega, so I changed that fundraiser to ‘Hocus Pocus,’ so we can hang out with them more.” To find out more about...

A bit of nostalgia for ‘older kids,’ the children’s play Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse plays through Saturday, Sept. 28, at Shamblin. Lipscomb’s School of Fine and Performing Arts is presenting the show, based on the children’s books by Kevin Henkes. The tale features a mouse named Lilly who loves everything about school. Pals Chester and Wilson say they are two peas in a pod, but Lilly soon comes to town and eventually becomes best friends with both of them. “It’s really good for ages 5-10,” said Emma Harvey, who plays Chester, when talking about the play. “Adults love it too, though,” she said. “There are some really specific parts of the show that are geared towards adults, and that children just won’t get. For college students, it’s really nostalgic because we grew up reading the books.” Tickets for can be purchased here for the remaining shows at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, and at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, in Shamblin Theatre. Harvey encourages her college schoolmates to catch it before it’s gone. “You should definitely come see this show for a little bit of nostalgia and fun.” Gallery by Madison Sharpe.
