[October 10, 2014]  LINCOLN - The Lincoln College Volleyball team came out on fire Thursday evening and dominated their opening set against Carl Sandburg College.

 Lincoln used a balanced offensive attack and aggressive play on defense to take set one 25-13. Set two appeared to be going the same direction as the Lady Lynx again put Sandburg on the defensive and built a 14-6 advantage. CSC eventually woke up and managed to tie the score at 21-21. Lincoln stopped the rally with a side out then ran off four more points to win the set 25-21. Set three was close thoughout, but a late charge by Lincoln sealed the match win with a 25-20 victory. LC improved to 11-8 on the year.

Destiny Adkins 5 kills, 8 digs, 9 points
Jenna Harcharik 7 kills, 1 block
Jessa Coker 13 set assists, 6 points

LC Head Coach Mark Tippett: For the first half of this match we played pretty much error free and showed we are capable of dominating a quality opponent. It is difficult to keep that level of play up for an entire match though, and we let CSC slip back into it. When we needed to make plays late in sets two and three our players came through. The front row did a fantastic job of blocking and our passing was very strong tonight which makes running the offense much easier. I was also pleased with the balance we showed on offense. Overall it was a great team effort and a lot of fun to watch.

LC travels to Sauk Valley Community College on Saturday to participate in a triangular set of matches.
