[September 01, 2017]    The Lincoln Railers took on Mahomet-Seymour Thursday night and made a statement in their Apollo Conference opener.

 

Coach Kyle Caldwell was elated with the ladies’ performance all the way around, as each Railer volleyball squad came away with a victory.

- The Freshmen set the tone by winning 25-9 and 25-21.

- The JV took it to three sets, winning 25-19, 24-26 and 15-13.

- And the Varsity just took the excitement to another level, winning in three sets 25-23, 22-25 and 25-23.

Following the exciting wins, Coach Caldwell said, "Tonight we had a great win at every level. Freshmen continued to roll with a straight sets victory, JV turned things around with a 15-13 win in the 3rd, and Varsity won a thriller 25-23 in the third with a huge swing from Tearaney Eads that painted the corner.

"We continued to pass well with a 2.13 and our offense improved as anticipated by hitting a .250 efficiency for the match. We definitely took some lumps including some incredible swings by Mahomet's D1 committed outside hitter, but we appreciate the struggles as a chance to learn how to improve.

"Ultimately we executed the game plan that allowed us to grind out the win against a very strong team and I expect us both to compete near the top of the conference. Don't miss out when Mahomet comes to us on Sept 26th because I wouldn't expect it to be anything short of another thriller.”

Lincoln improves to 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in the Apollo Conference.
