[October 12, 2015]  LINCOLN - On Saturday, the Lincoln College Volleyball team won both matches played at the Joliet Junior College Invite.

 LC started the day strong against Elgin Community College, easily taking the first two sets 25-16 and 25-10. In set three, Elgin regrouped and jumped out to an early four point lead which they maintained most of the set.

Lincoln mounted a comeback attempt behind the strong serve of setter Ashley Robinson to tie the score at 22, but Elgin was able to sideout and hold off the Lady Lynx for a 26-24 win to extend the match.

In set four, Elgin continued to give LC trouble with tough serves and scrappy defense as they led all the way for a 25-20 win. However, in the deciding set to 15, Lincoln College jumped all over ECC early by dominating them at the net and attacking with speed and accuracy.

The Lady Lynx built a 10-2 lead and finished off the win 15-4. In the second match, Lincoln was able to take out Joliet Junior College in straight sets 25-9, 25-15, 25-21. The wins improved Lincoln College to 14-10 on the season.

LC Coach Mark Tippett:  "We played sound, fundamentally strong volleyball for most of the day. I was very pleased with the way the setters ran the offense and our defense played with intensity. We also passed the ball well off of serve receive, which is something our players have worked very hard on this season. The Elgin match was an odd one because they started off so rough then just came alive in sets two and three to play at a much higher level. They earned the points to win those sets, and I could not fault our effort or point to mental errors as the reason for the losses. It was quite satisfying though to see our team go out in set five with determination and show a will to win. Our block completely shut down their offense and when our hitters got a chance to swing they were hammering the ball. It was a lot of fun to watch. The Joliet match was one we controlled from start to finish. JCC was down a couple of players, so they had a hard time competing. We were able to give a few players some rest and challenge others to take on new roles. It was a nice win to take into the Fall Break."

LC is off until Thursday evening when they will host Carl Sandburg College in a 6:00 pm match.
