The Varsity won in two sets, 25-14 and 25-15.
Lincoln was led by Kloe Froebe with 7 kills. Lily Holmes added 6
kills.
The Lincoln JV team won 25-19 and 25-16 over Champaign
Centennial.
The Lady Railers are off to a quick 2-0 start thanks to the
previous Varsity experience of the junior class and the
immediate impact of some talented freshmen and sophomores.
Head Coach Emma Derry has a group eager to play and it shows.
Following the win, Derry offered some comments.
“Overall, we are playing together well and bonding as a team,”
said Derry. “Our communication as picked up and has been a huge
help. Tonight really showed how deep my team goes beyond the
starters. I have full confidence in subbing any of my athletes
in.”
With the Varsity setter, Addy Qualters, out due to illness on
Thursday night, Derry called upon a freshman to fill those big
shoes.
“My freshman setter, Lauren Tedrick, really stepped up tonight
as my normal varsity setter was out,” said Derry. “She showed me
that I can count on her to step up for that position when needed
and in the future.”
Tedrick led the team with 15 assists and even added 2 digs, an
ace, a block and a kill to her resume for the evening.
Lincoln will host Apollo Conference rival Mahomet-Seymour next
Thursday night at Roy S. Anderson Gymnasium. The JV game will
start at 6 p.m. with the Varsity to follow.
