"It was great to be on the field again, after a 14-day
stretch with no games," said LC coach Crystal Wurth. "We came
out and played well the first game. These girls are talented and
we can hit the heck out of the ball, but we need to find
consistency in the circle and tighten up defense."
Lincoln's overall record is now 3-7 and 0-2 in the conference.
The Lincoln College softball team travels to Lincoln Land
