Looking to build up momentum, Belmont broke the UT Martin Skyhawks’ 3-game winning streak with a 3-1 win Friday but could not hold them off on Saturday. With Belmo

After 42 years of operation, local running store and Belmont University neighbor The Athlete’s House is approaching the finish line and is slated to close its doors in October. “It’s been a good run, but it’s time at 71 to find something else to do,” said owner and founder David Graeflin. “You have to change with the times, but we’re fortunate to have weathered 42 years.” Graeflin founded the store in 1973, five years before he set up shop in the historic, light blue brick bu

Both universities are partnering to raise money for Blood: Water Mission in a competitive fundraiser called Battle for the Pump, the first event of its kind. The idea of the contest is to see which school can reach the $5,000 goal first–for an ideal total of $10,000

Facing off against the defending conference champion, the Belmont women’s soccer team battled to a 2-2 draw in a double overtime thriller against Morehead State on Friday afternoon. “Any time you go into a conference game, you’re trying to get three points. But you don’t want to lose the one you can get,” said Belmont coach Heather Henson. “I’m so proud of their effort to push through coming back to tie it.” Belmont wasted little time trying to find the scoreboard when midfie

After nearly a month without playing at the Curb Event Center, Belmont overcame a halftime deficit to defeat Jacksonville State  78-67 in the team’s Ohio Valley Conference home opener. While grateful for the win, coach Rick Byrd was cautious about the team’s success. “We shouldn’t have to match anybody’s effort or anybody’s energy.

They’re teammates, artists, best friends and perhaps most importantly, sisters. Women’s soccer senior forward Katie Proud, and sophomore midfielder Emily Proud found a home away from home at Belmont, and while their ultimate destination was the same, their journeys proved to be quite different. Unlike Emily, Belmont was not Katie’s first choice. “I’m an art major, and when I was first picking schools it was between here and Samford, and I obviously picked Samford. As the year

The first league will be in Orlando from July 7-12 and the 2013 OVC co-player of the year will play for the Miami Heat.
