 The Lady Lynx's visit to
the Lone Star State got off to a rocky start as they dropped a pair
of matches, each in four sets. Lincoln (2-5) lost first to Coastal
Bend College (4-2) by scores of 25-19, 16-25, 25-18, 25-21, then to
Trinity Valley CC (3-4) 25-17, 25-19, 18-25, 25-14. Both of LC's
opponents compete at the NJCAA Division I level.
LC
individual stats:
-
Alexis Nelson (Bloom): 18 kills, 20 points, 4 aces
-
Emily Fox (Southeast): 39 set assists, 10 points
-
Markeisha Williams (East St. Louis): 21 digs, 12 points
-
Mellisa Turpin (Normal West): 8 kills, 9 blocks
LC coach Mark Tippett commented: "The scores might not reflect it, but we gave
Coastal Bend quite a match. The first two sets were a wash because
we traded blowouts, and the next two were both close up until about
20-20. Our passing broke down at the end of both sets, which is not a
good habit to get into. We put together one decent set against
Trinity Valley, but their attackers and jump servers wore us down in
the other losses, which were not closely contested at all."
Lincoln continues play in Texas on Saturday with two more matches.
First they will face Galveston CC, then take on the host school, Lee
College.
