Robin Scholz/The News-Gazette UI sprinter Devin Quinn at the track facility on UI campus in Champaign on Thursday, May 30, 2019.CHAMPAIGN — Pick a moment, any moment, from Illinois volleyball's Final Four season last fall, and Jordyn Poulter was at the center of it.

Or the NCAA tournament run that ended in the national semifinals. Poulter was the unquestioned leader — a role that grew and she grew into during her four-year career.
