Women's Volleyball Falls in Five Set CCIW Championship Match

The Big Blue women's volleyball team fell in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin Tournament Championship game on Saturday, November 16 in Bloomington, Ill. The Big Blue rallied to force a game five in the match but ultimately fell to the Titans 2-3 (24-26, 25-23, 23-25, 25-10, 13-15) and await their fate for the NCAA Tournament on Monday, November 18 with the selection show taking place at 1:00 pm ET. 

Delaney Higgins was the kills leader with 17, and Kailee Itzenhuiser added 12 along with five service aces. Alyssa Frederking tallied 25 assists, and Gracie Shaffer added 22. Defensively, Kyra Carothers tallied seven blocks while Higgins added six and Sophia Howell was the digs leader with 23. 

Hannah Tellor was the kills leader for the Titans with 17. With the win, Illinois Wesleyan earned the CCIW's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. As the #14 ranked team in NCAA Division III NPI rankings, the Big Blue have a high probability of making the 2024 NCAA Division III Volleyball Tournament regardless of the five-set loss to the Titans.
