Coach Mark Tippett commented: "Everything
seemed to click for us tonight. We passed the ball well and played
extremely hard on defense, which gave our offense a chance to work.
Our blockers did an excellent job at the net as well. We looked a
lot more comfortable in our new rotation, which led to an increase
in confidence that we have been lacking lately.

"The win was significant for us because it helps us toward
our goal of securing a home match for the first round of
regional play. We have our final region match next week at SWIC,
and if we are able to win it, we will be in line for the fourth
seed in the region. If we bring the same intensity to the court
next week as we did tonight, I like our chances."
Lincoln's record improved to 9-13 overall and 3-3 in region play.
Lincoln will host a triangular set of matches on Saturday. The
Lady Lynx first play Oakton Community College at 10 a.m., then take
on Black Hawk College at 2 p.m.
