It was just like a rivalry win is supposed to be: tough, focused and full of hard work. The Lady Bisons won the first match against the “Battle of the Boulevard” rival Belmont in four sets. “Belmont is going to be one of the top three or four teams [in the conference],” said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. “Winning the way we did where we had to fight through [sets] three and four just adds a bit more confidence.” The Lady Bisons won the first two sets 25-19 and 25-18. Belmont fired back in the third set winning 25-23. “It was about execution,” said Rosenthal. “Whether we win the point or not we have to execute”. The Lady Bisons rallied behind seniors Alex Kelly, and Jake Pease to win the final match 25-15. “Alex and Jake are players and people who just want to win,” said Rosenthal. “They’re willing to do whatever it takes.” “During the fourth set the girls really settled down and served tough,” Rosenthal said. “The substitution of Claire Peterson was key there at the end of the match.” A win against Belmont is always extra special to the Lady Bisons. “I don’t take this for granted, and I don’t think the girls do,” coach Rosenthal said. “This is a rivalry. It runs deep for us.” The Lady Bisons travel to St. Louis this weekend for the Billiken...

The 3-0 win was a lot closer than Lipscomb wanted it to be on Tuesday night. The Lady Bisons fought their way out of a close third set to sweep the Tennessee State Tigers and improve to 5-2 overall. The Lady Bisons easily defeated the Tigers in the first two sets with 25-10 and 25-14. “Our transition game did a really nice job,” Lady Bison Head Coach, Brandon Rosenthal, said. “I thought for one and a half sets we did a really nice job of executing and eliminating chances for them to get extra points to the ball.” The third set for Lipscomb was all about teamwork as they found themselves tied with Tennessee State during the third set. The Lady Bison’s fought back after being down 8-1 early on in the set to win 25-21. “Our energy kind of let off,“ said Rosenthal. “I told them I wasn’t going to bail them out by calling time outs, that it really comes down to them. The girls did a great job of making points on their own. Senior leaders like Stefine “Jake” Pease, Meghan Hinemeyer and Alex Kelly kept the team focused during the last set. “It’s a Senior led team, I’m not too worried about it,” said Rosenthal. “If I know the team like I do I don’t think there will be any doubt tomorrow in practice there will be a great sense of urgency to pick the team back up.” The Lady Bisons will travel to South Carolina later this week for the Gamecock...
