Senior Night sweet for the Lincoln Railers Volleyball Team

[October 04, 2017] 

After falling earlier in the season to Mattoon, the Lincoln Railers Volleyball Team bounced back at home Tuesday night on Senior Night to defeat the Green Wave. It took three sets but the ladies got the job done in exciting fashion.

Lincoln took the first set 25-20. Mattoon cruised in the second set and the Railers dropped that set 10-25. The third set was oh-so-sweet for the Railers as they edged out the Green Wave 26-24.

Lincoln’s Head Coach Kyle Caldwell was happy to see the ladies get the win, right before regional seedings. "Tonight was a great win for us on Senior Night to honor the six very special seniors that have contributed so much to this program,” said Caldwell. "It was also a nice rebound from a tough three-set loss to Mattoon from the beginning of the year. It is the last match that will be entered before regional seeding will be decided, so I am expecting a nice seed going into post season. Our hard work so far will pay off and the rest of the regular season will be focused on fine tuning what we will be doing in the postseason. That is where we are hoping to make a name for ourselves.”

The six seniors honored on Tuesday night were: Tearaney Eads, Kaelyn Froebe, Morgan Lolling, Kennedy Lolling, Grace Bossingham and Amber Oliver.

Lincoln’s record improves to 17-8 overall and 5-3 in the Apollo Conference.

In the JV contest Lincoln lost to Mattoon 10-25 and 19-25.

In the Freshmen contest Lincoln won 25-23 and 25-11.
