Belmont falls hard to Vanderbilt baseball stars

Belmont baseball went to bat against Vanderbilt University with optimism but got hit with a 4-13 loss Tuesday. Playing at the neutral site of First Horizon Park, the neighboring Nashville teams had equal opportunity to showcase their talent without the pressure of a fan bias. In fact, there were no fans at all in the park Tuesday, after inclement weather forecasts moved the game up from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m., and staffing issues forced the doors to close to the Bruin and Commodor

Belmont MBB will face Vanderbilt in first round of National Invitational Tournament

Even though Belmont’s name wasn’t called on selection Sunday, the Bruins still have more basketball to play. The men’s team accepted an invitation to the NCAA’s second-tier tournament, which presents an opportunity for programs to play in the prestigious Madison Square Garden if they make it to the title game. The Bruins are facing pressure to rebound, but before that becomes a reality, they will have to win three games in the National Invitational Tournament. Luckily, they w

Women’s tennis goes 0-7 in honest fight against Commodores

Belmont faced a tough opponent in Vanderbilt University on Sunday, leaving the Wedgewood neighbor’s Currey Tennis Center with a 0-7 loss. The loss brings the team to 5-4 overall in the runup to conference play, which kicks off at the end of February. “We had match points and chances to win, and we just couldn’t finish,” Belmont’s director of tennis, Mauricio Antun, said after the match. “I think we got a little scared to win there, playing a bigger school,” Antun said. “It wa

Belmont University’s tennis teams took on all their truest hometown rivals this weekend, with the men’s team facing Vanderbilt University on Friday and the women hosting Lipscomb University at Hadley Tennis Center on Saturday.

Southern sweethearts: Buddy and Carolyn Fisher’s love story lasts a lifetime

When Buddy and Carolyn Fisher said “I do,” it meant forever. Now, 72 years later, the love between a Vandy boy and a Ward-Belmont graduate has stood the test of time. “She is my Belmont belle. Patient, warm, attractive,” said Buddy, 93, in his endearing Southern twang. He wears wide-framed spectacles and a jolly smile. “Oh goodness me, why thank you,” blushed 91-year-old Carolyn with a glimmer in her blue eyes, silky silver hair falling around her face. It seems fate had a pl

Campus Security shares safety tips after Vanderbilt assault reports

Three women reported being groped on Vanderbilt University’s campus by an unknown male Jan. 31. The sexual assaults were reported anonymously to Vanderbilt’s Campus Security Authority and university police department, according to a statement. None of the women reported injuries. While the string of assaults does not seem to pose an immediate risk to Belmont students, it never hurts to exercise caution when walking around campus, said Pat Cunningham, the chief of Belmont’s Ca

An islander in America, ‘Landlocked’ artist speaks on reaching for his Palauan roots

For Jerry Bedor Phillips, art is the bridge that connects him back to his island origins. On display at the Leu Center for the Visual Arts’ Gallery 121 through Sept. 24, the artist’s “Landlocked” exhibition offers a glimpse into the life, history and culture of his family homeland — Palau, an island nation in the western Pacific. Phillips’ work not only explores his own self-identity and family history, but gives voice to a heritage often overlooked in the U.S., and especiall
