Elsah, ILL. -- The Principia Panthers took on the Lincoln College Lynx tonight in a non-conference matchup. This was another tough test for the Panthers, and although they improved in their fight and execution, it wasn't enough to take down the Lynx for the win.
A Look at the Match:
The volleyball team hosted Lincoln College tonight, and came out on the short end of the stick. The Principia women played with discipline and passion, and created some very nice scoring opportunities. However, Lincoln had a lot more fire power out-hitting the Panthers .301-.122. That .122 was the best hitting outing for the Panthers with the current roster, so that's progress! Both teams held their offensive errors to 10%, and that's right where we want to be. "We just need to terminate more balls, and I felt tonight the players went after the right stuff….just couldn't execute enough", shared Coach Sprague.
