Lincoln Volleyball sweeps Charleston on Senior Night

[October 12, 2018] 

The Lady Railers Volleyball Team picked up their first Apollo Conference win at home on Thursday night and the timing could not have been more perfect: Senior Night. Prior to the Varsity game seniors Mackenzie Antoine, Jenifer Porlas, Tasha Young and Emma Konczyk were honored.

The Lady Railers then took the court for what would be an exciting three-set match with Charleston. After losing the first set 18-25, Lincoln came storming back to win the next two sets, 25-23 and 25-23.

Brooke Kitner led Lincoln with three kills. Leah Schneider, Emma Konczyk, Emily Paulus and Tasha Young each had two kills. Elise Dawson had one kill.

For senior Jenifer Porlas the win was a real boost to the team's confidence. "It felt amazing to win on Senior Night. We have been super down during this whole season and this win really did hype us up, especially leading towards regionals, which is in a week. It'll be great."

Lincoln Volleyball seniors Tasha Young, Jenifer Porlas, Emma Konczyk and Mackenzie Antoine were honored on Thursday night.

Lincoln will play this weekend in the Bloomington Central Catholic Saints Fall Classic at Illinois Wesleyan University.

The Lincoln Freshman Team also defeated Charleston 21-9 and 21-12. (In Apollo Conference action the freshman teams only play to 21).

The Lincoln JV Team also won Thursday night in two sets against Charleston, 25-17 and 28-26 the scores.
