LC Coach Mark Tippett: "It was great to open up our regular season
with two wins at home. Both teams got off to rough starts, but
settled in as the matches went on. It took a while for us to find
our rhythm on offense, but as the night went on the hitters and
setters started to connect. We need to improve our blocking as well
as our communication on the court, but overall it was a very
positive start to the season".
Lincoln hosts Culver-Stockton for one match on Thursday evening at
6:00 pm
