Redbirds stopped short of the MVC tourney

Coming into this past weekend with the mindset of being hungry and looking for a victory the Illinois Sate Redbirds were matched up against the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams in the Missouri Valley conference, Wichita State and Missouri State. This weekend could make or break their season. They only needed to win one match and they would be bumped up to 6th and move on to the MVC tournament. Unfortunately the Redbirds were stopped short and their season came to an end. With Melissa Meyers on the bench coaching the storming Redbirds team, she plans to make a statement and slowly move her way to the top of the conference board within the next few seasons!
