LC Coach Mark Tippett: "We knew going into this event that we had
our work cut out for us. All three of the teams we faced were teams
we lost to earlier in the season. The most encouraging match was the
one against Lincoln Land because we played them much tougher than we
did the first time we saw them in early September. Parkland made
very errors and really looked like the number one team in the
nation. They did not drop a set the entire day.
"The most disappointing match for us was the one against Lewis &
Clark. We played poorly on defense early in set one and gave them
way too much help through unforced errors. It was just a sloppy
effort and I know we are better than that. This was the first rough
day we have had in a long time. Hopefully, we can regroup this week
and put it behind us quickly."
