LC coach Mark Tippett commented: "Our players have made steady
improvements over the past week in all areas of the game and have
begun to develop some positive team chemistry. We have been working
hard to become more aggressive offensively, and it is starting to
click. Our passing was solid most of the night, which gave the
setters a good chance to run the offense. Overall it was a great way
to begin life in our new gym."
Lincoln will travel this weekend to Baytown, Texas, to compete in
the Lee College Invitational Tournament.
