BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University volleyball team was swept by No. 10 Carthage College in its College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin opener Wednesday night, Sept. 18, at the Shirk Center.

The Titans (0-9, 0-1 CCIW) could not keep pace with a potent Lady Red (12-1, 1-0 CCIW) offense, falling 25-13, 25-11, and 25-10. 

Sophomore Amber Juarez (Bloomington, Ill.-Normal U High) led IWU with 11 digs and freshman Grace Sanders (Bloomington, Ill.-Bloomington HS) added six kills.

Illinois Wesleyan returns to the court this weekend, Sept. 20-21, to close out its eight-match homestand with the Holiday Inn Express Classic II. The Titans take on No. 20 Hope Friday night at 7 p.m., before wrapping up the weekend against Earlham and Aurora on Saturday.
