The Lightning had business to take care of against some quality D3 opponents on Saturday. We started the day with a big win over regional foe Waterloo winning and straight sets. Second round of pool play had the Lightning giving St. Mary’s Springs their first loss of the season. The two wins put LCL (#3 in D3) in the gold pool with #1 in D3 Howards Grove and #4 in D2 Edgewood. The Lightning battled like champions beating Howards Grove in a three set marathon, making their return to D3 known to the state. But Edgewood had too much firepower for both teams and won the tournament behind Marquette recruit Natalie Ring.
