Women's Volleyball Opens CCIW Campaign with Win over Augustana

The Millikin women's volleyball team opened their home campaign as well as their College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin schedule at the Griswold Center in Decatur, Ill. on Wednesday, September 18 as they took on Augustana College.

Just a day after receiving the #14 rank in Division III, Millikin rebounded after dropping the first set to the Vikings to secure three straight set wins and move to 9-2 overall, 1-0 in CCIW play. 

The Big Blue outkilled the Vikings 64-50 in the 3-1 win (23-25, 25-20, 26-24, 25-14), hitting for a team percentage of .271 overall, including a set-high .438 in the pivotal second set.

Senior Kailee Itzenhuiser was the leader at the net, tallying 18 kills. Delaney Higgins added 15, and Addison Oyer chipped in 13. Alyssa Frederking tallied three service aces offensively, and she and Gracie Shaffer topped the assists leaderboard with 29 apiece. Sophia Howell led the way in digs with 16, while Kaitlyn Skowronski added 15. Skowronski made a few crucial game-saving digs, including a crucial pancake that helped swing the momentum in the Big Blue's favor in the second set.

Emily Schipper led Augustana's valiant effort with 15 kills. 

Women's volleyball will be back at the Griswold Center all weekend, hosting the Millikin Invitational that will see the Big Blue meet Franklin College and Illinois College on Friday, September 20, followed by matchups with Anderson University and a squad receiving votes in Hanover College on Saturday, September 21.
