Set three saw Lincoln improve their level of play and maintain a four to five point advantage most of the set on their way to winning it 25-19. In set four, the two teams battled their way to a 9-9 tie before Parkland was able to run off seven straight points to take command. PC eventually took the set 15-25.

LC Head Coach Mark Tippett: The first set was a disaster for us, but the good news is that we did not throw in the towel when it would have been easy to do so. Our players played with a lot of spirit in set two and showed that we can compete against a nationally ranked opponent. Winning set three was a big confidence boost for us, and it is evidnence that we are an improving team. Tonight's match showed that we have a lot of room for growth, but overall it was a positive learning experience.

Lincoln travels south this weekend to take on Rend Lake College Friday evening then participate in a trangular set of matches at Kaskaskia College on Saturday.
