[September 16, 2010]  The Lincoln College volleyball team hosted nationally ranked Parkland College (15-3) on Wednesday evening and the visitors left with a four-set victory. Parkland is No. 4 in this week's NJCAA Division II national poll.

HardwareLincoln (6-9) fell behind early in the first set, spotting the Cobras an 8-0 lead. Despite the slow start, Lincoln was able to narrow the lead to two points later in the match, but eventually lost the opening set 25-21.

In set two the Lady Lynx avoided creating an early deficit and earned themselves a 25-22 victory to even the match at one set each.

Set three saw LC jump out to an early lead, but a six-point Parkland run gave the visitors the momentum, and they went on to win the final two sets by identical scores of 25-14 and 25-14.

  • Alexis Nelson: 13 kills, 15 digs, 3 points

LC coach Mark Tippett commented:

"I was pleased with the attitude and intensity we brought to the gym this evening. We showed we can hang right with one of the top teams in the nation. Our passers performed well enough to keep us competitive and our defense was outstanding at times. We just did not have the focus or offensive firepower to push through and win the longer rallies in the match. Sets three and four were close early on, but we seemed to tire a bit in each set and committed some costly unforced errors. The win in set two, though, was a big confidence boost and an indication of the level of play we are capable of reaching."

LC will travel to Illinois Valley for three matches on Saturday.
