The Lindenwood beach volleyball team picked up a 4-1 win over McKendree on Saturday afternoon in Belleville, Ill. With the win, the Lions move to 4-1 on the season.

"Today was another great opportunity to learn." said head coach Alli Duckworth "It was our first match where we had to battle the weather as well as our opponent.  I was proud of our ability to adapt to the conditions as well as our opponent.  McKendree made some adjustments from the first time we played them and have improved.  Overall, I could not have been happier with the result.  Every day is an opportunity to learn, and we have been able to take advantage."
