Illini snap Penn State's record streak

"It was a battle all night," middle blocker Johannah Bangert said after playing a major role in the Illini's conference-opening 17-25, 25-14, 25-19, 14-25, 17-15 win in front of 4,141 fans, the third-largest volleyball crowd in Huff history. "We were going back and forth, and it shows what great teams both of us are this year."
