The weekend didn't start perfectly for the Illinois volleyball team, as they dropped a back-and-forth first set in College Park
The Illini were seemingly locked into a battle with the Terrapins before an incredible comeback to take set two and even the match. Maryland continued to battle and put up a valiant effort, but Illinois seemed to be a step ahead the rest of the match.
Maryland kept it close in set three before freshman outside hitter Alyssa Aguayo went on an absolute tear, scoring six straight Illinois points, and propelling the Illini to a 25-18 set win.
