Volleyball Battles League Leading Titans in Friday Night Showdown

The Millikin women's volleyball team faced a tough test on Friday, October 24, meeting the league-leading #6 Titans of Illinois Wesleyan in a College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin matchup. The Titans came into the match having dropped just one set through five conference games, and garnering only two losses to ranked squads Hope and UW-Eau Claire. 

Delaney Higgins was the kills leader with 11, with Elle Richards chipping in seven. Alyssa Frederking totaled 16 set assists offensively, and Higgins and Kylie Ramirez topped the digs column with 11 apiece. 

Millikin outdug Illinois Wesleyan in the contest 48-47. 

Taylor French led the way for the Big Blue, totaling 11 kills. Alex Bardouniotis added ten. 

The Big Blue fought hard in the first set, falling just 24-26. The Big Blue jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second set, but the Titans regained their footing quickly. Millikin fell in a hard fought 19-25 second set, and IWU closed out the third set with an 18-25 conclusion. 

The Big Blue will look to bounce back on Wednesday, October 29 when they meet the Cardinals of North Central College at the Griswold Center in Decatur, Ill. scheduled for a 7:00 PM start.
