"Tonight's win was a real team effort as our blocking was very effective and our passers did an excellent job all night," said Coach Mark Tippett. "We are playing our best volleyball of the season as of late and I am very pleased with where we are. Hopefully we can keep playing well this weekend and take that momentum in regional."

Lincoln College will be at home Saturday against Millikin JV at 9 a.m. Millikin will then play Danville at 11 a.m. and Lincoln will hook up with Danville at 1 p.m. This is the final home game of the season and the sophomores will be honored prior to the game.

The regional tournament will be played Nov. 1 against Springfield College at 7 p.m. Due to the fact that the Lincoln College gym is not regulation, the game will be played on the Lincoln Christian College court.
