on defense and attacking the ball aggressively. However, Sandburg
was able to chip away and eventually tie the score at 22-22. After
trading side outs several times, the Chargers were able to pull off
a 27-25 victory. The momentum clearly stayed with the hosts in set
two as they cruised to a 25-18 win.In set three, the Lincoln
climbed back into the match by doing a better job of controlling the
ball off serve receive and were able to win the set 25-20. The
victory helped the Lady Lynx regain their confidence, and they
roared past Sandburg 25-15 in set four to force a deciding set to
15. In that set Lincoln took an early lead and never trailed on
their way to 15-12 win.
Lincoln's record improved to 13-11 on the year.

LC coach Mark Tippett commented:
"Our team has shown a great deal of heart this season, and no
match showed it more clearly than this one. It is a very difficult
feat to pull off a comeback like the one they did this evening
against a team as talented as Carl Sandburg. The win is especially
sweet since we lost to them in four sets earlier in the season. I am
extremely proud of the way we played this evening and look forward
to seeing how much this group can continue to improve."
Lincoln College is off for fall break weekend and will be back in
action Wednesday with a triangular set of matches at Lincoln
Christian University, beginning at 3 p.m.
