Softball: LWC sweeps Pikeville in regular season finale

Desiree Chang's parents wanted to make sure that they had a front-row seat for their daughter's last career plate appearance on Saturday, April 29, 2023, at Marilyn D. Sparks Park, and Chang did not disappoint.

With two outs on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning, the fifth-year senior from Waimanalo, Hawaii crushed a two-run home run to right-center field to, in essence, seal a run-rule victory for the Lindsey Wilson softball team, secure a two-game sweep, and give the Blue Raiders' right fielder her first-ever fence-clearing shot.

The emotional moment highlighted a successful senior day for the locals, during which they recognized Alexis Garayzar, Za' Kiya Sizemore, and Chang before going on to defeat the University of Pikeville 3-1 and 13-4.

All told, the Blue Raider seniors combined to go 7-for-17 on the day with four runs batted in and three total extra-base hits.

CU students, faculty encounter Christ in the Holy Land

By Elinor Keck

Campbellsville, KY - Thirty hours of travel gives you a crick in the neck, but it's a small price to pay to be able to walk where Jesus walked.

Every two years, the School of Theology at Campbellsville University makes a trip to the Holy Land to study biblical geography. The trip was delayed several years due to COVID-19, but once travel restrictions were lifted, 34 students and community members made the twelve-day trip to Israel and Jordan.
