LC coach Mark Tippett commented: "Tonight showed once again
how tough it is to win matches against teams in our region.
Danville made us pay for our unforced errors and inability to
pass serve consistently. The good news is that our team is
showing the ability to stay calm in high-pressure situations,
and our hitters are not afraid to take aggressive swings when
the game is close. Defensively we played hard and were able to
win several of the long rallies in this match. I look forward to
getting in the gym over the next few days to work on our serve
receive passing and side-out offense. If we can sharpen up in
this area, I am sure we will find future wins to be a lot less
stressful than the way we won tonight."
Lincoln is off until next Wednesday, when they host conference
and region rival Lincoln Land Community College for a 6 p.m. match.
