LC coach Mark Tippett commented:
"Playing with a new lineup and players in unfamiliar positions is
a rough way to end the season, but we did not have much choice
today. Resting Kelly Anderson this weekend gives us the best chance
for her to be able to play on Wednesday evening in our first
postseason match. The team did not respond well to the changes we
made in the early going against Sauk Valley, but in the afternoon
match, I was very proud of the effort I saw on the court. We started
playing better as a unit, and the result was an entertaining match.
Despite the loss, I feel like we left the court feeling good about
the experience. I am hopeful we can carry that kind of attitude into
our match on Wednesday."
Lincoln College earned the No. 4 seed in the Region 24 postseason
tournament. They will host the No. 5 seed, Southwestern Illinois
College, at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
