LC coach Mark Tippett commented:
"I am very pleased that our sophomore class was able to earn a
win in their final match at home. This was a fun group to work with
over the last two seasons, and they accomplished a lot. They earned
two tournament championships and won over 40 matches. The best part
is that they got along with each other as well as any group I have
coached, and they were positive role models for our freshman class.
I am sure they will all go on to do well in school and life.
"As for our play today, we still have some nagging problems with
missing serves and not finishing of plays that we should probably
make, but overall we played well. I am confident that if we go into
our regional match on Wednesday with the right attitude, we will
come out on top."
Lincoln plays in the first round of the Region 24 tournament on
Wednesday with a 6 p.m. match at Lincoln Land Community College. The
winner of that match will advance to the region Final Four on
Saturday.
