In a heavyweight battle between elite teams from the Pac-12 and the Big-Ten, it all came down to which All-American could soar highest: USC's Alex Jupiter, or Illinois' Colleen Ward.
In the end, it was one of the longest and most exciting points--a rally that seemed to last forever--that allowed Illinois to earn a 15-10 fifth set victory, and a date against another Pac-12 team in the finals.
Illinois will now face UCLA Saturday night for the NCAA Division 1 title.
