Illinois Tech 3, Judson 0 - Box

Chicago, IL - A strong attacking offense from Illinois Tech (6-6/3-0) gave the Scarlet Hawks a 3-0 (12-25, 14-25, 15-25) win over visiting Judson University (0-6/0-2). Illinois Tech hit .307 overall and hit .458 in the first game.

Judson was led by sophomore Danielle Dull's (Waupan, Wisc.) six kills while Debra Leganski (Elgin, IL) recorded 12 digs.

In game one, Judson took a 2-0 lead on serves by Rachel Whitacre (Manldin, S.C.). Illinois Tech then tied the game at two and three before going on a 13-2 run to make it 16-5. From that point, Judson could not overcome the Scarlet Hawks best offensive game as Judson fell, 25-12.

Illinois Tech followed with an attack error as Judson was within one, again, 6-5, but had a 6-1 run for a 12-6 lead.
