LC coach Mark Tippett commented:

"We started this match looking a lot like we did in our first match a few days ago. We were slow on defense, missed serves and got down early. I believe we were behind 15-20 when things started to turn around. We picked up our intensity on defense and our passers started to focus in, which got our offense going. Coming from behind to win the first set was a much-needed psychological boost.

"In set two we looked more relaxed and aggressive on offense. We let a big lead slip away late in the set, but our players kept their composure and held on for the win, which is a very good sign.

"We still have a lot to work on, but tonight it was clear we are headed in the right direction."

Lincoln will travel to Oakton Community College on Saturday for three matches.
