The Loyola women’s volleyball team (15-12, 7-8) was swept by Illinois State University 3-0 at Gentile Arena Friday night.
“That’s a very good team right there,” Loyola head coach Amanda Berkley said after the match. “They’ve beat some really good teams and they have a great defense … we did not match up, offensively, well with them.”
The Ramblers kept the first set close early, tying it up 10-10. The Redbirds went on a 4-0 run to force Loyola to call a timeout, but the Ramblers couldn’t recover and dropped the set 25-18.
Illinois State didn’t slow down in the second set, easily winning it 25-9 to take a 2-0 lead in the match.
