Anchor Drop, September 9, 2021: Soccer at Lipscomb

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt soccer is back in action tonight, this time “on the road” (read: still in Nashville) against the Lipscomb Bisons, whom we will again point out are improperly pluralized. Match time is 6:00 PM CT and it’s streaming on YouTube.

Women’s basketball announced its full schedule for Shea Ralph’s first season, opening the season November 9 against Gardner-Webb. (The men’s team opens a night later, also at home against Alabama State.)

The Hustler previews the women’s golf season, which starts Monday. Also: the SEC power rankings, and you’ll never guess who is 14th!
