Michael McDonald’s visit to the Allen Arena stage Sept. 23-35 is proof of the strong tie between the Nashville Symphony and Lipscomb University that was born out of disastrous flooding on May 1-2. The Grammy-winning singer, a former member of the Doobie Brothers, is coming to Lipscomb as a part of the Symphony’s Bank of America Pops Series. The symphony also will continue to use the auditorium for a total of eight events, either pops or classical, during this semester as the Schermerhorn Symphony Center downtown continues to be rebuilt after the devastation caused by the floods that swept through Nashville. Having the symphony on campus is an exciting opportunity, according to Dillon Mayfield, a freshman music major. “I believe Lipscomb hosting the Nashville Symphony is strongly beneficial for music majors and minors,” Mayfield said. “Students should take advantage of attending a concert. It’s in our backyard.” The symphony also is using other facilities in Nashville as it continues its gypsy-like existence since the flood severely damaged its state-of-the-art home, located between Third and Fourth avenues . The symphony actually began using the Lipscomb University campus last summer, setting up shop for six concerts after the floods hit. And that relationship continues to flourish in the months leading up to the reopening of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center downtown. SunTrust Classical Series events at Collins Alumni Auditorium included last weekend’s presentation of Andre Watts playing Beethoven and will continue Dec. 2-4 with cellist Steven Isserlis playing works by John Tavener and Edward Elgar & Bach. In addition to the former Doobie’s performances this weekend, the Bank of America Pops Series featuring the...

It was all about revenge tonight for Lipscomb as they shutout UNC Aseville 2-0 in the opening round of the Hyatt Place Select Tournament.Last year, UNC Asheville took home the trophy after beating the Bisons 2-1. “Last year it was a game where we started to see cracks in the armor, then it was a downhill slide from there,” Lipscomb coach Charles Morrow said. “So, to have a tight game and have to battle through and keep the shutout and get a couple of goals in the process was very good.” The game was scoreless until the 70-minute mark when senior Garrett McLaughlin scored from 20 yards out to give the Bisons a 1-0 lead. “I just saw an opening and took the shot,” McLaughlin said. “I guess it moved a little bit, so the goalie had a hard time.” The win tonight gave the team its third consecutive win, after winning the Belmont Invitational last weekend. With the consistent play, it looks as if the team is improving in each game. “There were a few times in the first half where we were playing as good as I had seen,” Morrow said. “Not only as good as I have seen this year, but throughout my four or five year tenure here. “ Lipscomb moved the ball very well in the first half, generating a lot of chances, but came up short until McLaughlin’s goal in the second. “The challenge is doing that for a complete game,” Morrow said. “Asheville is a very tough team that can present some challenges that sort of gets us out of our style...
