BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan volleyball team won both its matches on Friday (Oct. 26) in the Barker Classic III, downing Anderson in three sets and the University of Dallas in five hard-fought sets.

"In the second match against Dallas, I was happy to see how well we fought as a team near the end of that match," said IWU head coach Kim Nelson-Brown. "We finally pulled out a five-set win."
