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.

Great win tonight in 4 sets!!
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.

another win over a ranked team .......great flow and teamwork with Madi Miles bringing a breath of fresh air with her kill #'s and shot selections......Philpot and others are playing great.......Phelan is awesome.....great win Illini.............
My wife also compared Madi to Raina - similar game.
Lost in 5. Michigan has a number at Huff. Their block frustrated us. We had 39 errors. Some miscommunication at times. Not our best showing.

we won 1st set and up 22-17 in second set before faltering to lose that 2nd and third sets to scUM......we won 4th set huge and I thought we had mojo to get the 5th set win and match........I think Madi Miles should be on the court always....we got stuck without her rotating in and it cost us......hells bells , her serving can't be any worse than the other error prone Illini.....JMHO ......
I was thinking "Phew“, but Dan has it better with "Found a way". Good to see Taylor back in there and contributing late.
