East Peoria, Ill. - Home again. By virtue of how last season's schedule panned out, there aren't a lot of home dates for the ICC Volleyball program (14-7), triangular or otherwise. The Cougars looked to take advantage of that by hosting NJCAA Division-I opponent Jefferson College, as well as Moraine Valley, an inter-division opponent from the Chicagoland area out of Region 4. The opener would see ICC drop just its first home match of the season, while they would hold on in a five-set thriller against the Cyclones, their fourth five-set win of the season. The usual statistical leaders are below.

D1 Jefferson College Vikings 3, #19 ICC COUGARS 0 (22-25, 12-25, 23-25)
