Redbirds Douse Flames in Four for Home Win
Caitlyn Little vs UICNORMAL, Ill. – Behind 15 kills from Caitlyn Little and 11 kills and eight blocks from Khenedi Guest, the Illinois State volleyball squad put out the Flames of UIC in four sets on Thursday evening 3-1 (25-23, 25-15, 18-25, 25-19).
HOW IT HAPPENED
First Set (25-23): The opening set had two lead changes, and three ties – the latest at 6-6 as ISU turned a 6-5 deficit into a 9-6 lead as Redbirds scored four straight points to lead 9-6. ISU would not trail again, despite leading by as many as seven points at 18-11, and the hosts withstood a furious late comeback that saw UIC twice climb back within one point, before a kill by Little put a cap on the opening frame.
