LC Head Coach Mark Tippett: "It's unfortunate that we were not able
to push this match to a fifth set tonight. We were pretty evenly
matched against SWIC, so it would have been fun to see it go the
distance.

"We just made too many unforced errors throughout the course of this
match. SWIC played a little bit cleaner and seemed to find a way to
win most of the longer rallies. Despite this not being our best
night, we hung in made it close in every set. There is a good chance
we could get matched up against them for the first round of the
post-season, so we may get our shot at revenge before the season is
over.
