over Oakton (25-15, 25-23, 25-14) and College of DuPage (25-12,

built a comfortable lead in set two; however, Harper was able to

Lincoln regained the momentum in set three and went on to win 25-11,
then took set four by a score of 25-20 for the match victory.

LC coach Mark Tippett commented:
"Our team performed well in all aspects of the game today. I was
especially impressed with the intensity I saw on defense
and with our serve receive passing. We put a lot of hard work into
those two areas this week in practice, and it certainly paid off
against some tough opponents. What makes it even more satisfying is
that every player on our roster made positive contributions to the
victories, and it was obvious that our team is having fun playing
together. Overall, I am very pleased with how this group is
progressing."
Lincoln will travel to Parkland College on Wednesday for a 6 p.m.
