WOMEN'S BASKETBALL DEFEATED BY NO. 22 ILLINOIS

Champaign, Ill. – No. 22 University of Illinois registered a 94-25 victory over the Le Moyne College women's basketball team on Monday at State Farm Center in front of a crowd of 13,486 fans, which was the third-largest crowd in Illinois women's basketball history.

The Fighting Illini shot 57.8% from the field and tallied 42 points in the paint to improve to 4-0 on the season.

Fifth-year forward Kendall Bostic led Illinois with 25 points on 11-13 shooting from the field in addition to a game-high 12 rebounds. Sophomore guard Gretchen Dolan tallied 15 points, seven assists and five rebounds in 31 minutes off the bench, while senior guard Adalia McKenzie added 14 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals.

Freshman guard Eli Clark (Oakhurst, N.J./Ocean Township) led the Dolphins in scoring with seven points in addition to four rebounds and two assists. Graduate forward Haedyn Roberts (Holland Patent, N.Y./Holland Patent) recorded six points and a team-high five rebounds.

Le Moyne shot 2-21 from three-point range during the setback, and 3-8 from the line.

The Illini got off to a hot start on Field Trip Day at the State Farm Center, shooting 13-19 in the first quarter to open up a 30-7 lead after 10 minutes of play. No. 22 Illinois limited Le Moyne to 1-10 shooting during the second period to establish a 49-9 lead at halftime.

Clark, Roberts, and sophomore forward Sydney Postell (Churchville, N.Y./Churchville-Chili) combined for 11 points in the third quarter, but the Illini shot 60% from the field in the penultimate frame to extend their lead further.

Illinois was Le Moyne's first opponent from the Big Ten, and the third nationally ranked opponent in Le Moyne's Division I era.

Le Moyne will return to action on November 29 against UNC Greensboro in the Puerto Rico Clasico. The Dolphins will then take on Southern Indiana on November 30.
