Softball Gets Swept in ASUN Series by Central Arkansas

CONWAY, AR – After taking two losses in their doubleheader against the Sugar Bears yesterday, Lipscomb faced Central Arkansas in their final matchup of the series. Entering the matchup, the Bisons had won at least one game in every ASUN series this season and they looked to extend that streak, but ultimately it was Central Arkansas who swept Lipscomb.
