Lincoln girls quickly hitting new heights

Lincoln girls volleyball coach Vince Tang had a feeling this could be a record-setting year for the Mustangs.

But hosting the championship match in NorCals? One win away from playing for a state title in Southern California?

“No, probably not,” Tang said Wednesday night.

But after a stunning 16-25, 25-20, 25-22, 25-22 win at previously unbeaten and top-seeded Santa Catalina-Monterey (27-1) in the CIF Northern California Division 3 semifinals Tuesday night, fourth-seeded Lincoln (35-8) is one win from playing for a state crown.
