CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Following Illinois’ 3-0 (25-13, 25-19, 25-19) win over Michigan on Senior Day, a long line of festivities was scheduled.
Seniors Raina Terry, Vanessa Pan, Kennedy Collins and Jessica Nunge along with medically retired Maddie Whittington and Sophie Gregus were celebrated.
Emotional goodbyes and thank yous were shared on the video board on the South wall of Huff Hall. At the end of it, the fans who stuck around for the festivities were greeted by the familiar face of Raina Terry.
It was a historic night for her, as she became one of just sixteen Illinois Volleyball players to ever hit the 500-kill mark in one season, but she also had one more thing to say.
