[September 04, 2009]  On Thursday evening the Lincoln College volleyball team (5-3) was defeated by Robert Morris College of Springfield in straight sets. The scores were 25-23, 25-16 and 25-21.

LC stats:

  • Melanie Herbeck -- 16 set assists, 4 points

  • Gretchen Rieger -- 10 kills, 11 digs, 4 points

  • Lara Dawson -- 5 kills, 3 blocks

  • Chelsea Barr -- 10 digs, 3 points

Comments from LC coach Mark Tippett:

"Aside from the passing breakdown that led to the lopsided score in set two, we played them fairly evenly all night. Sets one and three were back-and-forth battles that saw several lead changes, and, unfortunately for us, they were able to grab the lead at the right time and win in three sets.

"Both teams volleyed the ball well, but RMC was a little sharper defensively. On several occasions we hit the ball well, only to see them scramble to keep the rally going until we made an error."

Lincoln College begins their conference schedule next week with a home matchup against Springfield College of Illinois on Wednesday evening at 6.
