Colleen Ward had 15 kills and five blocks while hitting .560 as No. 5 Illinois held off Indiana in Bloomington 25-17, 19-25, 25-22, 25-16. The Illini used a 14-6 advantage in blocks and some hot hitting at times to hold off the Hoosiers in a match that featured a lot of long runs by both teams. The Illini got back on track to improve to 22-3 overall and 11-3 in the Big Ten, good for a tie for third place in the conference. Indiana fell to 8-18, 0-14.
"Any win on the road is a big one; we talk about that all the time," Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said. "When you give a team a window on their home court, they're going to take advantage of it. We showed a crack in our armoir about how hard we were working and it showed up. That's disappointing. We have to keep working. I thought we responded well after that and took care of business in the third and fourth set."
