Soccer

• The Lee University women's soccer team lost 1-0 in a home exhibition match Monday night against one of its old rivals, Lindsey Wilson, from Lee's NAIA years. The score by Karin Bernet from an Elizabet Madjarac cross came less than four minutes from the end of regulation. Lee had the best record in the Gulf South Conference but is wrapping up its transition to full-fledged NCAA and GSC membership and is ineligible for the conference championship.

• Freshman Josie Love Roebuck from Girls Preparatory School started for Georgia in its SEC soccer tournament opener Monday night in Orange Beach, Fla., and took one of the Bulldogs' five shots on goal in a 1-1 tie in which they advanced past Arkansas on penalty kicks.

Golf

• Boyd-Buchanan senior Trent Mansfield will sign scholarship papers to continue his golfing career at Tennessee Wesleyan College. Mansfield, a member of the Best of Preps third team for 2013-14, led the Bucs to the Class A/AA state tournament this year. In the Best of Preps tournament this year, he tied for sixth with a 74. "I think he he fits in their program perfectly," Boyd-Buchanan coach Ed Connelly said. "His game is more suited for a smaller school, and he has his sights set on doing well up there." Mansfield grew up in the First Tee of Chattanooga program and was selected this past summer as one of 18 from the East Territory to participate in the Congressional Pro-Am -- an event in conjunction with the PGA Tour's Quicken Loans National at Congressional Golf Club. "He practices a lot," Connelly said. "He started off not scoring well as a freshmen, then by his senior year he's really come along."

• Alexandria Green, a senior at Oakwood Christian Academy in Chickamauga, plans to sign scholarship papers to continue her golf career at Truett-McConnell College in Wesleyan's NAIA league. Green had a scoring average in junior tournaments of about 84, according to her father, Troy, with a career low of 82. "That was the one school that she really connected with," Troy said. "They have a good nursing program, and that's what she'll major in."

Volleyball

• Covenant College freshman Ginny Moore was the USA South volleyball rookie of the week for her averages of 4.6 kills and 4.6 digs per set in a 3-0 week for the Lady Scots. She had 27 kills, 30 digs and four aces in a 3-2 win over Sewanee, 11 kills and 14 digs against LaGrange and 13 kills and seven digs against Huntingdon. Covenant is the No. 2 seed in the USA South South Division and will face Methodist at 7 p.m. Friday in Martinsville, Va., in the conference tournament quarterfinals.

Swimming & Diving

• The Sewanee men's swimming and diving team won the Sewanee Invitational meet last weekend, and the Sewanee women finished second to Brenau's NAIA scholarship program. The Tigers' Frazier Devany won both the 1- and 3-meter men's diving events with teammates David Evans and Charles Boclair III also earning top-three spots, and Brian Glatt won the 50-yard butterfly and the 100 freestyle and was third in the 50 free. Jackson Cromer won the 200 backstroke with teammate Will Ralston taking one of the hosts' numerous second-place spots for the two-day event. The Sewanee women got a first place from the 100 free relay team of Carolyn Rice, Ashley Krueger, Meghan Mulhern and Caty Hueske.

• In its dual-meet wins Saturday against Ensworth and Knoxville Webb, the McCallie swim team had the top three finishers in 1-meter diving: Alex Gray (199.75 points), Eamon McFadden and Clark Danks. GPS's Qynn Celichowski (195.60) was the girls' winner. The divers were left off the initial report.
