LC volleyball

The Lincoln College volleyball team suffered its first home loss of the season as the Lady Lynx fell to visiting MWAC foe Lewis and Clark CC in four sets. The scores were 25-22, 15-25, 25-21, 25-15.

LC is now 2-8 overall and 0-1 in MAC play. Lewis and Clark improved to 5-3 and is 1-0 in the MAC.

LC individual stats:

  • Alexis Nelson: 11 kills, 4 digs, 4 points

  • Emily Fox: 18 set assists, 3 digs, 6 points

  • Danielle Stephenson: 8 kills, 1 block

  • Courtney Reinken: 2 kills, 8 points

  • Chelsea Rhoades: 3 kills, 6 blocks

  • Kristen Wright: 8 set assists, 9 points

  • Markeshia Williams: 7 digs, 7 points

LC coach Mark Tippett commented: "At times in this match we showed that we are capable of playing very solid defense and that we have the ability to run a quick offense.

The problem was we did not pass the ball consistently in serve receive. In all three of the sets we lost, we got stuck in one rotation and gave up too many points before siding out. Our players showed a lot of heart, though, and fought to the end. It is obvious that we will need to sharpen our serve receive game quite a bit in order to get back in the win column."

Lincoln College will host the inaugural Hampton Inn Invitational Tournament on Friday and Saturday. Eight teams will compete for the title, with play beginning at 1 p.m. Friday.
