LA MONTE — The Lincoln Lady Cardinals volleyball team took advantage of its size at the net to overcome a scrappy defensive effort by the La Monte Lady Vikings on the way to a 25-19, 25-18 win on Thursday night.
Lincoln (6-7, 2-2) had a balanced attack at the net, led by Danielle Johnson, Alex Cooke, Chandra Schaffer and Morgan Renno. Even with the Lady Vikings scrambling in an attempt to dig every ball, the Cardinals had too much strength up front.
