NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State volleyball team (15-11, 8-6 MVC) battled back from a 24-20 third-set deficit against Drake (8-20, 3-12 MVC) on Saturday night, to pull off the season sweep of the Bulldogs in straight sets.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Set 1 >> Illinois State opened on a 6-1 scoring run with Sarah Kushner behind the service line, and a pair of early kills from both Sydney Holt and Kaylee Martin. The Redbirds surged ahead to hold a 13-3 advantage, but the Bulldogs quickly responded with a four-point run to force ISU to call a timeout.
