"We just made too many unforced errors throughout the course of this match. SWIC played a little bit cleaner and seemed to find a way to win most of the longer rallies. Despite this not being our best night, we hung in made it close in every set. There is a good chance we could get matched up against them for the first round of the post-season, so we may get our shot at revenge before the season is over.

Lincoln is back in action on Thursday evening as they host Carl Sandburg College at 6:00 p.m.
