LCU volleyball falls to Augustana

[October 15, 2013]  The Lincoln Christian University volleyball team hosted NCAA Division III opponent Augustana College on Saturday afternoon at the Laughlin Center. It was a tough-fought match, but Augustana was able to pull out the victory, winning three sets to one.

LCU started the match fighting, winning the first set 26-24, but lost the remaining three sets with scores of 15-25, 16-25 and 22-25. Augustana proved to have too much height against LCU, as the visitors blocked attempt after attempt from LCU's front-row attack. After losing the first set, Augustana dominated the rest of the match.

LCU's two outside hitters, freshman Erin Taylor (Noble/West Richland High) and junior Alicia Carson (Gobles, Mich./Bloomingdale High), led the way in kills, recording 10 each. Junior libero Emma Donnelly (Clinton/Clinton High) led the way in digs as she recorded 35 on the match.

LCU will return to action this week Friday and Saturday as they travel to Calumet College in Whiting, Ind., to play in St. Joseph's Crimson Wave Invitational.
