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...

Lipscomb parking tickets– we’ve all had them. But did you know that Campus Safety will take other measures if you are parked in a non-designated parking spot? Students have been called out of class to move illegally parked cars, and some students received phone calls from their parents saying campus safety and security contacted them. “Last week I had four missed calls from campus safety telling me they would tow my car if I did not move it,” said Brynn Petrey, a junior Nursing major from Memphis. “I was in class all day, and think my studies are more important than moving my car that wasn’t obstructing traffic.” Patrick Cameron, assistant director of campus security and safety, listed some things you should know before you park illegally at Lipscomb. “It is a very rare occurrence that we will pull people out of class or call them,” Cameron said. “Generally that happens when one of two things happen: someone has parked illegally in a space that has been reserved for a specific named guest, or someone has parked in one of the senior administrator spaces over by Crisman.” The Lipscomb traffic and parking regulations state the instances in which Campus Safety is permitted to tow you–and they will. Never park in a fire lane, by fire hydrants, or where you’re blocking dumpsters or traffic. This could result in your vehicle being towed at your own expense. Campus Safety can also tow your car “where deemed necessary.” Other than these instances, officers will usually write a ticket and move on. But beware, parking tickets can add up fast. The penalty amount usually...
