Lincoln got off to a slow start and trailed most of the way
through the first two sets to lose by scores of 25-20 and 25-16.
In set three, the Lynx came to life and built and early lead.
LBU would eventually tie the score at 18-18, but Lincoln was
able to survive the comeback attempt and win the set 28-26.
In set four, Lincoln again fell behind but was able to close the
gap to just two points at 24-22. However, on their first
match-point opportunity, an LBU serve hit the top of the net and
rolled over to land on the LC side and end the match.
Freshman libero Dylan Russin of Blue Island led Lincoln in
service points (7) and digs (11). Sophomore outside hitter Kyle
Murphy of Itasca led all hitters with 13 kills in the match,
while freshman right side Charles Carter of Blue Island had
nine. Lincoln will try to get back on track Friday with a 6:30
home match against Trinity Christian College.
