Harper continued to struggle falling behind 8-16 and 9-19 before losing 11-25. Maya Sokolowski (Mount Prospect/Prospect H.S.) led Harper with 3 kills.

Harper lost to Kankakee: 14-25, 21-25, 20-25
7:00 p.m. at Kankakee
Harper inexplicably fell behind right away 1-10. Unfortunately, for Harper, the gap wasn't going to get closed in this set… 5-15, 7-17, 8-19 before losing 14-25 in the opening set.

In the second set, there were a bunch of ties at 2-2, 3-3, 6-6, 8-8, 9-9, 10-10 and 14-14.  Harper fell behind a bit, but knotted the score again at 21-21, before losing the last 4 points in a row, for a 21-25 loss.

The third set started out 2-2, but Harper fell behind 10-12 and 14-17 before tying the score at 20-20.  Similarly, Harper lost the last 5 points in a row to lose the third set 20-25.

Watch here!


Harper Volleyball, after losing to #20 Lansing last weekend, and now #23 Sauk Valley, Harper's hopes of being in the DII top 20 this year is… remote. In two weeks at the Heartland tournament, Harper Volleyball will also play #5 Parkland and #10 Heartland. This year's schedule is not for the meek.

Another side note – College of DuPage (COD) will host the 2025 and 2026 DIII national championship. This tournament was at Rochester Community and Technical College for over 20 years, before moving to Cedar Rapids last year and this year, and will be at COD at least the next two years after that. Congrats DuPage on earning the bid!



On Tuesday, Harper Volleyball travels to Moraine Valley to play quite possibly the best team in this competitive Region IV. Coach Bob Vilsoet says, "Perennial DII strong teams Moraine Valley, Sauk Valley, and Former DIII Nemesis' Rock Valley and Madison will likely be seeded 1 through 4 in Region IV in some order to start the Regional Tournament."
