CHAMPAIGN — A new Final Four banner will be raised to the Huff Hall rafters at some point in the next year. If the crowds from the final month of the now complete 2018 season are any indication, that ceremony will take place in front of a packed house.
All that this Illini volleyball team accomplished in the last four months — from a team and individual player standpoint — struck a chord with the Illinois fan base.
Jordyn Poulter and Jacqueline Quade were the first AVCA first team All-American Illini teammates ever. Ali Bastianelli became the program’s all-time blocks leader.
