University of Lynchburg athletic competitions

Overview

The University of Lynchburg athletic teams experienced mixed results across several sports in September 2026.

In volleyball, the Lynchburg Hornets defeated the Catholic University of America Cardinals 3-0 in a non-conference match. They also secured a three-set sweep against Roanoke with scores of 25-17, 25-20, and 26-24, led by Kate Hardie’s 18 terminations.

In women's soccer, the Hornets maintained an undefeated 8-0 start to the season following a 9-0 victory over Hollins during Senior Day. The match featured nine different goal scorers and a shutout by goalkeeper Kylie Cass.

Field hockey results remained difficult for the team, which suffered a 2-1 overtime loss to the Bates Bobcats and a 2-1 home loss to Rowan. In the Rowan match, Khanyisile Mzizi provided an equalizer in the second quarter, but Rowan scored a late goal in the fourth quarter to secure the win.

In equestrian competition, the Lynchburg team opened its season with a two-day road trip to Alabama. The Hornets were defeated 9-0 by the No. 3 ranked Auburn equestrian team in a Jumping Seat-only contest. While the meet does not count toward official records, Auburn maintained a raw-score advantage of 854-800. Lynchburg concluded the trip with a 5-3 victory over Bridgewater College, securing the win through performance in the flat event after trailing 3-2 following the fences portion. Additionally, the University of Lynchburg IHSA equestrian team hosted its first Tournament of Champions, where Team Black secured first place.
