Lincoln College Men's Volleyball

[March 20, 2017]  On Friday evening, the Lincoln College men's volleyball team hosted the Ottawa University (KS) varsity squad. OU featured a former Lynx, 2016 LC grad Alex Robles of Plainfield.

In set one, LC was able to keep up with the high-powered Ottawa offense, and was competitive, but dropped the opening set 19-25.

Sets two and three saw OU tighten up their defense and take LC out of system repeatedly with powerful jump serves. Lincoln trailed most of the way in those sets to lose them both by scores of 14-25 and 14-25.

Sophomore Kyle Murphy (Itasca) led LC with six kills and Murphy also tallied five digs. Sophomore Greg Scott (North Chicago) dished out eight set assists, had three kills, and served two points.

LC Coach Mark Tippett: Ottawa was a very sharp team. They made few errors and had some guys who could really hit the ball. We needed to pass better in order to be competitive in this match, but when we did get volleys going, we were able to win points against them. This was another good test for our players and a chance for us to compete against a high level team. It was also great to see one of our former players doing so well. Alex Robles was a major contributor to the early success of our program, so we wish him all the best for sure.

Lincoln (17-12) will look to get back on track this Wednesday at St. Ambrose University.
