"I was really impressed with our intensity and how engaged we were as a team," said head coach Will Condon. "We knew that Little Rock can block the ball well and hurt you in transition. I thought we did a great job of following the game plan and executing."

Lindenwood dominated the first set on Friday evening finishing with a 25-15 set score. Rebecca Janke was effective in the middle posting three kills on a .500 hitting percentage. Abby VanBuskirk also added six assists to help the Lions.
