The Gophers swept #7 Illinois tonight 25-22, 25-19 and 25-20. The Gophers had more hitting errors and service errors than normal, but they were still able to pull out a victory over a top 10 team. Illinois is #3 in RPI, so it the win will really help the Gophers (we are #10 in RPI). CC McGraw was great on defense tonight.
