Illinois wrapped up its non-conference slate and has begun its challenging Big Ten schedule. The volleyball team put itself against some extremely tough competition early on, leaving them knotted up at a 5-5 record before their Big Ten opening weekend with matchups against Indiana and Michigan State.
The Illini secured convincing victories against Northern Illinois, Valparaiso, Illinois State, UIC, and Bradley. However, they faced setbacks against Wichita State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, and UCF.
In terms of individual performance, Raina Terry continues to display her dominance on the floor, building upon her impressive previous season after being named a unanimous All-Big Ten First-Team Selection.
