Five games needed to decide LC-LCC volleyball match

[SEPT. 18, 2002]  Lincoln College and Lincoln Christian College hooked up in volleyball at Lincoln College Tuesday night, and LCC came out on top in five games. Lincoln College won the first two games, 30-25, 30-23, before Lincoln Christian College rebounded to win the next three, 30-20, 30-18, 17-15.

"It was a real heartbreaking loss," said Lynx coach Mark Tippett. "We played a very solid match from start to finish. I could not fault our effort. LCC really picked up their defensive pressure after the second game, and that was probably the difference. We played well; we just couldn’t get over the hump. The final game could have gone either way. It was frustrating to lose, but it should bode well for us in the future."

Amy Cox led the Lynx with 19 points, four kills and four blocks, while Janine Buettner had 11 points, nine kills and five digs. Beth Guy contributed nine points and 24 set assists, while Amanda Hanson had three points and six kills. Angela Maestas had 14 digs for the Lynx.

Lincoln College is at home Wednesday against Lewis and Clark at 6 p.m.

[SEPT. 16, 2002]  The Cardinals did what they had to do, by taking two of the four against those pesky Astros. Hopefully, they will take care of business in the next several days and stave off Houston!

The Railers looked a bit sluggish versus Lanphier. The Lions have good overall team speed and quickness, and at times that seemed to be the difference between the two. We’re sure that we all hoped for a better showing, but we still have a good feeling about the possibilities for this team.

Lady Railers volleyball continues to roll!

The Chicago Bears held on for a 14-13 squeaker over the improved Atlanta Falcons. The Bears defense totally dominated the second half, and that was the difference!

The Illinois Fighting Illini finally got into the win column with a 59-7 drubbing of the Arkansas State Indians. The Indians started strong but faded fast. Illini QB Jon Beutjer, in his first start for the Illini, looked pretty good to us. However, the Orange and Blue will have to play a lot better to beat teams like Michigan and Ohio State. Heck, they could even find themselves in a dogfight with San Jose State!  Click here for Illini photos.
