De Pere, Wis. - Needing a win to improve their chances of moving up in the conference standings and a possible post-season tournament berth, the Illinois Tech women's volleyball team traveled north of the border to take on a St. Norbert's team that was 5-2 in Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference play. As has been the case throughout the season, the Scarlet Hawks battled but ran out of steam, falling to the Green Knights 3-1. The Hawks fell to 2-6 in conference and 3-16 overall. The Green Knights improved to 6-2 & 14-10.

The timeout helped, as the Hawks won back those two points to even the set at 19-19. Even at 21 all, the Green Knights extended their lead to 23-21, with the Hawks calling their final set timeout. Winning back a point after the timeout, the Scarlet Hawks would be unable to close the gap further, losing set one 25-22. Maria Fernanda Alcantara and London Francis paced the Hawks with 3 kills each.

Upon return, the Green Knights used a 9-6 run to pull within one point at 21-20, generating an Illinois Tech timeout. The Hawks were able to extend their lead to 24-22, reaching set point, but St. Norbert fought back to tie it at 24-24. The teams traded the next four points before the Scarlet Hawks were able to claim the final two points for the set two victory, evening the match at 1-1. Briar Moore led with 5 kills, with Alcantara, Francis and Emily Graham netting 4 kills each.

Set 3 - St. Norbert 25 - Illinois Tech 19
St. Norbert jumped out to a 5-0 set three lead before Illinois Tech used their first timeout. The Scarlet Hawks battled back to pull within one point at 9-8. But a 10-5 response from St. Norbert led to another Illinois Tech timeout, trailing 19-13.

Set 4 - St. Norbert 25 - Illinois Tech 16
