Illinois Recap (with Post-Match Quotes)

I thought it was a typical Big Ten match where two teams are exchanging things they do well.  I thought we started well, played two games well, and in the third game, the setter missed a couple of serves, and [we made] a couple of errors, and all of a sudden you’re in a match that you thought you had a little better control of.  But Illinois is always a tough team to play, and [6-3 Jr. MB Ali] Bastianelli and [6-2 Jr. setter Jordyn] Poulter are a tough tandem to handle.  I thought Haleigh [Washington] played exceptionally well offensively today.
