a four-set victory. LC took the first set 25-17, but the Wildcats
evened the match by winning set two 25-20.

LC Coach Mark Tippett: We had a tough assignment tonight after
coming off of spring break and having to travel a long way for this
match, but our players rose to the challenge and played well from
start to finish. We did a great job of controlling the ball off of
serve receive which gave our offense a good shot at siding out. This
helped us avoid giving up runs of points. Defensively, we played
very well, and both of our setters did a great job of finding open
hitters. Overall, it was a nice team win and a great way to begin
the second half of our season.
This weekend, LC will travel to the University of Missouri in
Columbia to participate in the two-day MWPVC Conference Championship
tournament.
[Coach Mark Tippett]
