Women’s Volleyball Ousted in CCIW Tournament Semis

IWU finishes with 17-13 record

CHICAGO - The Illinois Wesleyan University women's volleyball team's season came to an end in the semifinal round of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Tournament Thursday night, Nov. 9, as the Titans dropped a four-set match (25-19, 25-18, 20-25, 25-22) at top-seeded North Park University. IWU ended its season with a 17-13 overall record, while 15th-ranked NPU upped its mark to 24-6.

Sophomore Taylor French (Romeoville, Ill.-Plainfield East) led the team as she posted her 20th double-double of the season with team-highs of 15 kills and 26 digs. Senior Faith Washko (Springfield, Ill.-Sacred Heart-Griffin) added 18 digs. Freshman Sophia Feeney (Bloomington, Ill.-Normal Community) added 10 digs.

Senior Jordan Pierce (Bonfield, Ill.-Herscher) finished with 26 assists, while senior Taylor Babec (Joliet, Ill.-Plainfield Central) and junior Morgan Harrington (Plainfield, Ill.-Plainfield East) recorded five and four blocks, respectively. Freshman Eleanor Palmer (Chicago, Ill.-DePaul College Prep) added three rejections.

Illinois Wesleyan could not find its stride offensively, as the Green and White finished with an attacking percentage of .063, with 38 kills. NPU registered 57 kills on a .208 clip despite eight team blocks by the Titans. 

The match marked the final in the careers of Lily Summers, Maddie Dryfhout, Taylor Babec, Annika Altekruse, Jordan Pierce, and Faith Washko. Together, the senior class helped lead IWU to a CCIW regular season and tournament championship in 2021, along with one NCAA Tournament appearance.
