I had a chance to speak with a few leaders of the Illinois Spike Squad, the volleyball student section for the Fighting Illini, about their team that will be visiting Seattle. We talked about a recent coaching change, players to watch, and more.
UW Dawg Pound: Kevin Hambly surprisingly (from the outside, at least) left the Illinois head coach job to replace the retiring John Dunning at UW's Pac-12 rival, Stanford.
