September 10, 2011 9:41 AM
No. 4 Illinois continued its winning ways on Friday evening in Alumni Memorial Gym, sweeping Middle Tennessee State (2-4) and improving to 7-0 overall. The Illini hit a sizzling .392, the squad's highest mark this season, and limited the Blue Raiders to a hitting percentage of .189. Senior Michelle Bartsch paced the balanced Orange and Blue attack with 14 kills followed by fellow senior Colleen Ward with 12. Junior Erin Johnson chipped in nine kills while freshman Liz McMahon hit .800, connecting for eight kills in 10 attempts.
"It was a really well-rounded game," head coach Kevin Hambly said. "We finally got some production out of our right side. Lizzie did a really nice job and helped spread things out. Annie did great getting it to the middles and keeping the defense honest and our outsides both hit over .300, so when you do all that, it's going to be tough to beat."
