LLCC started its October home tournament with a sweep of visiting #22 Kankakee, keyed by solid blocking by sophomore Sammie Voils and freshman Brenna Perinar who each scored four blocks.  The key to the match was a solid serving performance by the whole squad, led by Brittani Tabbert's three aces.  "Our serving was excellent," Coach Jim Dietz said, "We were able to keep Kankakee from running their offense, and with volleyball, when you only get one option, that makes it hard, and that happened to the Cavaliers tonight."

The Loggers played the Statesmen of Lincoln Trail College in the second match of the evening, a match that  counted in the Region XXIV standings, and the match was also a sweep, 25-13, 25-13, 25-10, raising the Logger Region XXIV record to 5-1, clinching no worse than a top four finish.  "Lincoln Trail's is a new program, so in terms of the volleyball, they weren't much of a challenge and we were able to rest several players.  With that said, we were impressed by the effort they put in; Lincoln Trail played hard on every point, and I think that was a great reminder for us.  We've had moments where we go into coast-mode.  If we can approach tomorrow with that sort of enthusiasm, I think we'll have a good finish to the tourney."
