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.
