The Illinois Wesleyan University women's volleyball team is set to host Webster University for a non-conference match at the Shirk Center on Wednesday, November 1. The Titans, with a record of 14-12, will face off against Webster following their recent victory over the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

Senior Jordan Pierce contributed significantly with 41 assists, while senior Lily Summers achieved her second career double-double.
