 Lincoln College head
volleyball coach Mark Tippett is happy both girls chose the Lynx.
"I'm happy to have two local athletes who come from strong high
school programs," he said. "I plan to utilize both players in a
two-setter system, which will mean that we will always have a strong
offensive and defensive presence at the right-side hitter position.
I look forward to working with these two athletes because they know
what it takes to win, and I believe they will be solid players as
well as team leaders for the next two seasons.
Tuttle and Faith join a list of top LC
recruits that also includes all-conference middle hitter Danielle
Crum from Belvidere; Erica Lill, a 6-foot middle hitter from
Bolingbrook; and Amber Stewart, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter from
Oquawka. These incoming players will join sophomore outside hitter
Kristin Majka, who received CCCI first-team all-conference honors
last season, and sophomore Samantha McCoy, last season's leader in
digs, as part of the Lady Lynx squad next season.
