LC coach Mark Tippett commented: "About a month ago we struggled to beat RMC in five sets, so to earn a convincing four-set victory over them is another indication of how much we have improved as a team. We were steady in all aspects of the game tonight, which is what every coach wants to see at this stage of the season. I am confident that we will be playing our best volleyball as we head toward the end of the season."

LC will host a triangular on Saturday featuring matches against Millikin's JV team at 10 a.m. and Joliet Junior College at 2 p.m.  Prior to the 2 p.m. match, the team will take time to recognize the sophomore players.
