LC Head Coach Mark Tippett: Our first match of the day against
Harper was a bit of a wake up call. Harper played fast on offense
and defensively they made us work for every point. They also had a
couple of tough servers that challenged our passing game. We hurt
ourselves numerous times with net violations and ball handling
errors which stopped us from gaining any momentum. I was impressed
with the way our players handled the loss though. We learned from
the mistakes we made against Harper and came out with a much better
performance in the second match. Oakton has several strong hitters
who came out swinging in the first set. Our team stepped up to the
challenge and showed we could hit the ball just as well and our
blockers did a nice job of slowing down their attack. Our strong
finish against Oakton was a very positive way to end the day.
Overall, I am very pleased by where we are after the first week of
the season.
Lincoln will host Region 24 rival Illinois Central College On
Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm.
