The Lincoln Trail Conference championship race has yet to be decided. It’s down to three teams left vying for the title. All three were in action last night and after play was completed, nothing has still been decided. The first place Princeville Lady Princes have at least clinched a share of the crown with an easy win over ROWVA, 25-9, 25-10. Princeville is now (24-5) overall and (9-0) in the league standings with one match to go. United and Annawan were tied for second place coming into last night and are still tied following wins by each squad. United is (28-5) overall and (8-1) in the LTC after beating Galva, 25-12, 25-17.

The conference schedule ends tomorrow night with United at home vs. Stark County for senior night. Annawan hosts Princeville. With a United and Annawan victory, there would be a 3-way tie for the conference championship.
