KENOSHA, Wis. - The Illinois Wesleyan volleyball team split a pair of four-set matches on the first day of the Carthage College Women's Volleyball Invitational at Tarble Fieldhouse in Kenosha, Wis., beating St. Norbert after losing to Dominican.

Illinois Wesleyan beat Dominican 25-18 in the first set before losing the next three, 23-25, 24-26, 18-25 and then lost the first set to St. Norbert, 10-25, before coming on to win the final three 25-21, 25-21, 25-11.
The Titans have a 6-6 overall record.

"We started off the first match against Dominican strong but then started playing afraid to lose," said Titan head coach Kim Nelson-Brown. "The momentum and adjustments changed after the first set against St. Norbert and the team finally got into a good tempo.  Our attitudes and energy definitely changed for the better. I'm hoping the team can continue that into our two matches tomorrow."
