Sweep? Yes, Lipscomb will take one. It’s not often that Lipscomb and Belmont play one another three times in four days, but in 2011, it happened. Lipscomb came out on top each time, too. In volleyball, the Lady Bisons continued their conference winning streak, beating Belmont in five sets. The Lady Bisons won this edition of the “Battle of the Boulevard”, but it was a come-from-behind effort. Belmont won the first set 25-20 and the Lady Bisons evened the match at 1-1 with a 25-23 second set. Belmont bounced back to win set three 25-20. But the Lady Bisons came back in a big way in set four with a 25-13 decision. In set five the Lady Bisons held a 10-5 lead but had to hold on at the end for a 15-13 decision. Middle blocker Katie Rose lead the team in kills with 20 and tied for the team lead in digs with 19. Stephanie Rex also had 19 digs. The Lady Bisons are now 13-6 overall and 7-0 in the Atlantic Sun. Friday night, the women’s soccer team hosted Belmont for Part II of the “Battle of the Boulevard.” With the 2-1 victory, it marked the first time that the Lady Bisons had ever beaten the other team on the boulevard. The game-winning goal came from the head of Katie Wood off of a corner kick from Daniel Bethke. The win will prove to be a gigantic one looking back on the season. This could be the start of something good the Coach Ireland’s team going in to the end of conference play. The Lady Bisons...

Multiple news outlets are reporting that former Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs has died due to health complications. Apple’s Statement: “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives,” the company said. “The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be at Apple.” Jobs stepped down from an executive role at Apple in August because he said that he could no longer fulfill his duties as the company’s CEO. He instead became chairman of the company. It is not often that a company so successful is controlled by one person. That person was Steve Jobs. Many of you are probably reading this on your iPhones, your iPads, your MacBooks or some other device that Steve Jobs had a hand in creating. He made a huge impact.

You can call me iRox. #depressed #apple” Jameson Roper tweeted, “Rest in peace Steve Jobs. What a brilliant...
