Comments from LC coach Mark Tippett:
“The loss we took to SWIC was a tough one.
We played very well in the first two sets, but their athleticism
took over in sets three and four. They blocked the ball well, and
once their middle hitters got on track, they were able to builds
leads on us that we could not overcome.
“On Saturday we matched up better with our
competition and were able to overcome a few rough patches to win in
four sets. Our hitters were a bit too cautious at times, but when we
became more aggressive at the net, things went our way.”
On Wednesday evening LC will host Lincoln Land CC in a 6 o 'clock
match. Both teams will wear pink uniforms in order to highlight
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All proceeds from the match will be
donated to breast cancer research.
