#10 Women's Volleyball Secures Win at Wheaton

After suffering their first College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin loss of the season to Illinois Wesleyan last week, the #10 Millikin women's volleyball team looked to bounce back in conference play on the road at Wheaton College on Wednesday, October 9. 

The Big Blue dropped the first set to the Thunder 21-25 before rallying to take three straight sets 25-11, 25-22, 25-18. 

Millikin outkilled Wheaton 53-45 in the matchup, winning the digs battle 58-51. The Big Blue attacked for a .241 efficiency compared to Wheaton's .127, lowered by their -.023 efficiency in the second set. 

Kailee Itzenhuiser was the kills leader with 17, and Elle Richards added 13. Gracie Shaffer recorded 26 assists, and Alyssa Frederking added 20 along with three service aces. Defensively, Kyra Carothers notched five blocks, and Sophia Howell topped the digs column with 16. 

Caroline Capps was the kills leader for Wheaton with 17, and Emerson Traweek added 10. 

With the win, Millikin improves to 19-3 overall, 4-1 in CCIW play. The Big Blue will break from conference play for the weekend when they travel to Michigan for matchups with Calvin, Baldwin Wallace, and Swarthmore.
