[October 22, 2008]
The Lincoln College volleyball
team honored the five members of their sophomore class prior to
their final home match of the regular season. The team then went on
to defeat the Millikin University JV team in four sets.
LC jumped out to a big lead in set one but let it slip away and
eventually fell to the visitors 27-25. The Lady Lynx did not let the
disappointment of dropping set one get them down, as they bounced
back to take the next three sets 25-22, 25-21, 25-16. |

Comments from LC coach Mark Tippett:
"The five sophomores on our team have been a pleasure to work
with. They have been outstanding performers on the court and in the
classroom. Tonight's win was a great victory for them and for our
entire team. Millikin made an incredible comeback to win set one,
but I was proud of the way our players handled the setback. They
stayed calm and continued to believe in themselves. The ability to
stay focused after tough losses has been a positive trait our team
has displayed all season long. It can be frustrating when we get
ourselves into these situations, but it is also a confidence boost
when we work our way out of such trouble."
Note: Lincoln College will contribute all of the funds raised
from Tuesday night's match to breast cancer research. LC will
participate in another fundraising event on Thursday, when they have
a 6 p.m. match at Lincoln Land College. Both teams will wear pink
uniforms and will again donate all proceeds to breast cancer
research.
