Illini Volleyball 2026

Rough end, losing in 5, after 5 match points I think in the 4th. I think we were the slightly better team, but couldn’t quite pull it off.

Disappointing ending. That third set Illinois dominated. And I was wrong, our Illini are#24. Purdue is #16…

Exciting, but stressful 4 set win. Philpot awesome with the slide & blocks. Really impressed with freshman Madi Miles. Her game looks a little like Raina to me. She‘s hitting sharp across, down the line, and good feel for high hands.
I believe we went 4–3 in our B10 opening gauntlet of 7 ranked teams. Schedule easing up finally. Hopefully we’ll stay focused.

My wife also compared Madi to Raina - similar game.
