LC Women's Volleyball Picks Up Win #20

[October 19, 2019] 

The Lincoln College Women’s Volleyball team ran their current winning streak to four matches in-a-row with a three set sweep of Lindenwood-Belleville University on Thursday evening. The win was Lincoln’s 20th of the season against just eight losses.

The Lady Lynx took control early in the match with a 25-16 opening set win. Set two was more of a contest as LBU rallied from a five-point deficit to take a 17-16 lead, but an LBU ball handling error followed by an Ashlyn Slater (Grain Valley, MO) kill put Lincoln back on top 18-17. The Lady Lynx would go on to take the set 25-22 then carry that momentum over into set three to win it 25-18.

Senior right side hitter Mikayla Seibert (Mackinaw) led LC in kills with 10. Junior Kayla Battle (Aurora) tallied six kills, Hannah Cameron (Lincoln) was good for five, and Kaylyn Hoffert (Lincoln) and Ashlyn Slater had four kills apiece.

Waterloo native Megan Gilliam totaled a team-high 21 digs. Hannah Cameron was strong in the back row as well collecting 18 digs in all. Setter Morgan Lolling (Lincoln) led in assists with 20 while fellow setter Emma Derry had 16.

Lincoln will put their winning streak on the line this weekend when they travel to St. Louis, Missouri to participate in the St. Louis College of Pharmacy Invite. Lincoln will play two matches on Friday an two more on Saturday at the nine-team event.
