FIGHTING ILLINI WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NOTESLAST TIME VS. NEBRASKAThe Illini used a strong second-half surge to secure a 79-59 victory over Nebraska on Jan. 15. Holešínská led the squad with 19 points, while Beasley carded her second double-double of the season with 17 points and a career-high 10 assists.

The Huskers continued to test the Illini defense out of the halftime break, but Illini closed the quarter on a 14-4 run to keep a 57-49 advantage entering the final period. Illinois outscored the Huskers, 22-10 to close out the game.

LAST TIME AT THE BIG TEN TOURNAMENT The No. 14-seeded Illini fell to No. 11 Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament last season. Then-sophomore Chatrice White and then-senior Kyley Simmons combined for 47 of Illinois' 66 points, and then-freshman Jaelyne Kirkpatrick dished a career-high eight assists, the most for an Illini in a Big Ten Tournament game. Illinois fought to keep the game close throughout, tying the matchup at 53 to head into the final quarter of play. Penn State outscored Illinois 22-15 in the fourth quarter to advance to the second round of play.

She currently ranks second among all freshmen and needs 28 assists to tie Jenny Johnson (1984-85) in the top spot (140).

Beasley's 112 assists this season are the most for an Illini since Alexis Smith dished 163 during the 2012-13 campaign.

NEWCOMERS LEADING THE LEAGUEThe Illini freshmen have been making a splash this season, and continue to do so into league play.

Illinois has not had two freshmen score 20 or more points in the same contest since Jan. 31, 1997 in an 83-75 victory over Iowa. Both Tauja Catchings and Katie Coleman finished with 20 points in the matchup.

LEADING THE WAYFreshman Brandi Beasley had quite the performance against Penn State, leading all scorers with a career-best 28 points. That perfor-mance marks the best single-game scoring number for an Illini freshman since Chatrice White scored 30 points against Michigan on Feb. 28, 2015. Beasley didn't just rack up the scoring numbers at Penn State, but she also tallied seven rebounds, five assists and two steals on the day.

Beasley averages a team-leading 15.3 points per game in league play. She's posted double-digit scoring numbers in each of the last 10 games, leading the Illini in scoring in six of those contests.

BEASLEY IS KEYFreshman Brandi Beasley has become a consistent force on the court for the Illini this season. Beasley's six treys at South Dakota set a new Illinois single-game freshman record, as she made 6-of-8 from downtown. She led the Illini with a then-career-best 24 points in the contest.

She has reset her career-high scoring number in five games, and has scored in double-digits in 21 games, tallying two dou-ble-doubles.

Beasley has dished three or more assists in 20 games this year, leading the team in dimes in 18 games.

CENTURY MARKSophomore Alex Wittinger became the eighth player in Illinois history to record 100 career blocks on Thursday, Jan. 26. Wittinger tallied 50 blocks in her freshman season, which rank third among Illinois freshmen and are tied for 12 all-time on Illinois' single-season list. She has 72 rejections so far this year, and sits in 7th for her 122 career blocks. Her 74 rejections this year rank second all-time.

HOT HOLEŠÍNSKÁFreshman Petra Holešínská had quite the start to Big Ten play. Currently, she is among team leaders averaging 11.7 points per game in conference games. She's shooting 46-percent from distance as she's made 36-of-79 shots from three-point range in league play, including a career-best tying five triples against Rutgers, Purdue and Penn State. Holesinska is 19-for-20 from the free throw line in Big Ten play, and led Illinois in scoring against Rutgers, Nebraska and Purdue.

A MARGIN TO TALK ABOUTIllinois earned its second conference victory over Rutgers, 78-41, to mark the second-largest margin of victory for an Illini team in Big Ten play. The largest was a 47-point victory over Michigan State (98-51) in 1998. The 37-point margin of victory over Rutgers was the highest for an Illini team since a 55-point victory over Tennessee State (98-43) on Nov. 24, 2015.

Illinois has earned two 20+-point victories over Big Ten opponents this season, marking just the eighth year that an Illinois team has earned two or more Big Ten victories by a margin of 20 or more. The last time the Illini won two or more Big Ten games by 20 or more points was during the 2006-07 season, when the Orange and Blue topped both Northwestern (77-49) and Michigan (65-44) in back-to-back games.

CHART TOPPINGThe Illini can be spotted at the top of the list in several categories this season, individually and as a team.

GOING STREAKINGSophomore Alex Wittinger opened the season posting five straight double-doubles in the first six games of the year. Wittinger's streak marks the second season in a row that Illinois has had a player record five consecutive double-doubles as Chatrice White also matched that number last season. Prior to White, the last time an Illini had recorded five in a row was during the 2010-11 campaign (Karisma Penn). Jenna Smith recorded seven-straight double-doubles at the end of the 2009-10 season.

DOUBLE-DOUBLING UPThree Illini have recorded at least one double-double this season. Freshmen Brandi Beasley and Petra Holešínská each posted their first career double-doubles, while Alex Wittinger leads the Illini with nine. Illinois has seen at least two players record a double-double in each of head coach Matt Bollant's five seasons, highlighted by five players each recording one or more during the 2014-15 campaign.

Leading Illinois on the double-double front, Wittinger now has 10 double-doubles this year and 14 in her career. With one more double-double she will tie for 10th on Illinois' single season dou-ble-doubles list. She needs just six more career double-doubles to move into 12th all-time.

BOLLANT'S 60THThe Illini handed head coach Matt Bollant his 60th victory at Illinois on Jan. 15 in a 79-59 victory over Nebraska. Freshman Petra Holešínská led the squad with 19 points, while freshman Brandi Beasley carded her second double-double of the season with 17 points and a career-high 10 assists. Sophomore Alex Wittinger also added 17 points for the Illini in her 10th consec-utive double-digit scoring game. The victory marked Illinois' first home win over Nebraska since an 89-53 win on Dec. 13, 1985.

ILLINI OFF THE BENCH Illinois has seen impressive production from it's players off the bench so far this year. Redshirt junior Kennedy Cattenhead started the trend, coming off the bench to score 10 points in Illinois' season opener against Marshall. So far the Illini have seen double-digit production from at least one player off the pine in 13 games. The current leader off the bench is freshman Ali Andrews who averages 5.3 points per game when coming off the bench.

The Illini bench has posted 20 or more points in seven games this season and has outscored its opponents bench in 16 games.

2016-17 Fighting Illini Women’s Basketball // 5

FIGHTING ILLINI WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NOTESB1G WEEKLY HONORSFighting Illini freshman Petra Holešínská was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Jan. 9. The weekly honor was the first for Holešínská in her career and for an Illini this season. She led the Illini with a career-high 21 points on 5-for-6 shooting from three-point range in a 78-41 victory over Rutgers. Holešínská has now netted a career-best five three-pointers in two games this season. Holešínská also tallied eight rebounds and a steal in the matchup.

Sophomore Alex Wittinger was named to the Big Ten Women's Basketball Player of the Week Honor Roll on Monday, Dec. 26. Wittinger averaged 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game on the road against both Central Michigan and Ohio, shoot-ing 62.5-percent from the floor. She had scored in double-digits in five consecutive games, and earned her sixth double-double of the season at Central Michigan. Wittinger carded her third 20-point game of the season and sixth of her career on Thursday night at Ohio after a season-high 25-point performance. She tied her career-high with 12 field goals made in the contest.

OPENING B1G WITH A BANGIllinois got off to a successful start to Big Ten play with a 70-65 victory over Iowa. Prior to this year, Illinois had not won its Big Ten opener since topping Minnesota (64-50) in the 2010-11 season.

The Illini opened Big Ten play recording a season-high 15 steals against the Hawkeyes, and forcing the opponents to a season-high 23 turnovers. Illinois shot 43-percent from the floor against the Hawkeyes, good for the seventh time this season the Orange and Blue shot better than 40-percent from the field.

Illinois won its first three home conference matchups, topping Iowa, Rutgers and Nebraska, marking the first time since the 2005-06 season that the Orange and Blue have won their first three Big Ten home games.

RECORD SETTINGSophomore Alex Wittinger had quite the night against Wright State. Not only was she among team-leaders with her 15-point, eight-rebound performance, but she swatted a career-high eight blocks on the day. That number is an Illinois all-time single-game record, and Wittinger is one of just 22 players in Division I to record eight or more blocks in a single game. Previously, Illinois' record was set at seven by Jenna Smith in 2010 and matched by two more players, three times.

FIGHTING FRESHMEN As expected, Illinois has seen major contributions from its fresh-men this season. The Illini freshmen are accounting for more than 35 points per game so far this year, good for almost 57-percent of Illinois' scoring, led by Beasley, who averages 13.4 points per game. The freshman class averages 38 points per game in league play as well, which equates to 62-percent of Illinois' scoring.

Illinois has seen three freshmen score in double-digits in six games this season, against Wake Forest, USC Upstate, Rutgers, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State. Prior to this year, the last time an Illinois squad saw that kind of production from its freshmen was Nov. 17, 2013 in a 112-28 victory over Alcorn State. The Illini freshmen contributed 56 of Illinois' 78 points against Rutgers and 50 of UI's 64 points at Ohio State. At least one freshman has scored in double-figures in Illinois' last 24 games.

HOLEŠÍNSKÁ'S CAREER DAYSIllini freshman Petra Holešínská had a breakout performance against Memphis, contributing 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 3-for-6 from three-point range. Holešínská recorded more points in the first half against Memphis (13) than she did in her first two games combined (8). She also grabbed a career-best four steals in the contest.

She saw even more success in Illinois' victory over Fort Wayne as the Czech Republic, native, knocked down a career-best five three-pointers on 5-of-7 shooting from distance. She has led the Illini in scoring in eight games.

The freshman grabbed her first career double-double against Wright State, leading the squad with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

She again outdid herself against Rutgers, dropping 21 points on 5-for-6 shooting from downtown. Her 17 first-half points

surpassed Rutgers' 16 first half-points as a team. Holešínská was named Big Ten Freshman of the week for her performance in the Illini victory.

JOENS FOR THREEFreshman Courtney Joens has developed a habit of knocking down three-pointers at just the right time this season. She has hit two or more three-pointers in nine games, and is among Illinois leaders with 32 made this year. Joens has scored in double-figures off the bench six times this season, including a career-best 13 points at Ohio. She combined with Ali Andrews for all of Illinois' 24 bench points at #16 Ohio State and led Illinois with 11 first-half points against Penn State.

CATTENHEAD STEPPING UPRedshirt junior Kennedy Cattenhead has continued to build on her improvements from last season. After averaging just 1.1 points per game in her freshman year, Cattenhead showed major improvements last season. She averaged almost seven points per game and earned 27 starts for the Orange and Blue. Cattenhead was an important asset for the Illini as she also recorded 28 steals. After recording just seven assists in her freshman year, Cattenhead dished out 57 dimes last year.

Currently, Cattenhead is fourth on the team, posting 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. She led the team with a career-high five assists against South Dakota, and led the Illini in scoring against Wake Forest. She improved on her career-high with 19 points against Florida Gulf Coast. Cattenhead was also an important contributor at Northwestern, adding four assists and four steals.

STRONG START FOR THE ILLINI DEFENSEThe Illini have held six opponents to less than 30-percent shoot-ing from the floor this year, including Fort Wayne who shot just 25.6-percent. The last time an Illinois team held six or more oppo-nents to worse than 30-percent shooting was during the 2009-10 campaign when the Orange and Blue held eight opponents to below 30-percent shooting.

Illinois held both Marshall and UAPB to less than 30-percent shoot-ing from the floor in consecutive games to start the season. The Illini have not held consecutive opponents to less than 30-percent shooting since the 2013-14 season when the Orange and Blue held Alcorn State to 15.3-percent shooting (11/17/13) and followed that up by holding SIU to 22.6-percent from the floor (11/21/13).

Twelve Illini opponents have shot below 40-percent from the floor this season, including the Iowa Hawkeyes in Illinois' Big Ten opener and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights who shot 25.9-percent from the floor. The Illini continued their defen-sive success, holding Nebraska to 29.2-percent shooting at the annual Pack the House game.

FREE THROW FESTThe Illini started the season strong from the foul line this season, as six players are shooting 80-percent or better so far. Freshman Petra Holesinska has been the most impressive as she is 38-for-42 (.905) from the line this year.

The Illini were on fire from the free throw line against UAPB, mak-ing 18-of-19 shots good for 94.7 percent shooting. The last time the Illini shot better than that from the charity stripe was Jan. 3, 2014 against Wisconsin, going 4-for-4. The Illini made 21-of-22 attempts (95.5-percent) at Wisconsin (2/14/08). The Illini kept up the top shooting, making 8-of-8 from the line against both Nebraska and Ohio State this season as well before netting 13-of-13 shots at Penn State.

The Orange and Blue have shot 85-percent or better in 11 games this season and lead the Big Ten with their 77.0-percent free throw shooting, a number that sits among the top in the nation.

WITTINGER’S HOT STARTIllinois' leading scorer, sophomore Alex Wittinger, got off to a strong start to the season. She currently leads the Illini averaging 14.8 points per game, and posted five-straight double-doubles in Illinois' first six games this year. Wittinger has recorded a dou-ble-double in three of her seven career 20+ point games and was just one rebound away from a double-double when she dropped 21 points at No. 5 Ohio State last season (2/21/16).

Wittinger has recorded multiple blocks in 18 of Illinois' games this season, and has carded multiple blocks and multiple steals in six of those 18 matchups. She has posted multiple blocks and multiple steals in eight career games.

RICE'S RETURNSophomore Cierra Rice returned this season after being sidelined just before Big Ten play last year. Rice was off to a strong start last year as she had recorded two 20-point games in just 10 appearances. Rice averaged 13.6 points per game, dished 24 assists and swiped 11 steals last year. She played a career-high 40 minutes in her 2016-17 debut, contributing five points, four rebounds, an assist and two steals.

She put up double-figures in Illinois’ victory over UAPB, knocking down nine of her 11 points in the fourth quarter to lift Illinois to victory. She also grabbed six rebounds and dished an assist in the matchup. Rice's return was short-lived, however, as she suffered a foot injury against Memphis that currently has her sidelined.

WITTINGER’S WAYSNow in her sophomore season, Alex Wittinger had quite the freshman debut. The Delano, Minnesota, native closed the season among Big Ten leaders for her 3.3 offensive rebounds and her 1.8 blocks per game. Wittinger was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week twice last season, and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team following the year. Wittinger grabbed 193 rebounds last season, good for fifth all-time among Illinois freshmen, and her 50 rejections rank third on Illinois’ all-time freshman records list and 12th all-time. Wittinger averaged 10 points and 6.9 rebounds per game last season, scoring a career-high 27 points and grabbing a personal-best 15 rebounds at Minnesota. She posted four double-doubles on the season, and continues to improve on those numbers this year.

EXHIBITION RECAPSeveral Illini saw their first action in the State Farm Center as freshmen Ali Andrews and Brandi Beasley both earned spots among the starting lineup. It was a young group as the freshmen were joined in the lineup by sophomores Alex Wittinger, Jaelyne Kirkpatrick and Cierra Rice. Freshmen Petra Holešínská, Sarah Overcash and Courtney Joens also made their first appearances for the Illini in a 66-60 loss to Drury University. Wittinger was in double-figures before the end of the game as she put up 15 points and 13 rebounds before the final period. She also finished with two blocks and three steals. Beasley totaled 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while Andrews was also in double-figures, racking up 13 points. She added two blocks and three steals to her line. Rice tallied 10 points in her return for the Illini, and Kirkpatrick finished with eight points and four assists.

FIGHTING ILLINI WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NOTES

HEAD COACH MATT BOLLANT

60-85 // Fifth SeasonNow entering his fifth season as head coach of the University of Illinois, Matt Bollant has continues to

revive a dormant Illini program after being a part of the best seasons in program history at each of his other four collegiate coaching stops. In just his first season with the program, Bollant led the Orange and Blue to the postseason for the first time in three years in 2013 and Illinois finished with a winning Big Ten record for the first time in 10 seasons. He also has spearheaded the composition of back-to-back top-25 recruiting classes during his first two recruiting years in Champaign.

Despite taking a step back in wins and losses, the Illini program began to change its culture in the 2013-14 season. The values of hard work, fundamentals, attention to detail and team unity began to pay off as Illinois was much more competitive down the stretch, including a 61-51 win at Michigan State. The Orange and Blue also broke the school record for three-pointers made with 202 and finished eighth and 13th nationally in steals and turnover margin, respectively. On the recruiting front, two Illini commits earned All-America honors, as Chatrice White became only the second McDonald’s All American in Illinois program history and Amarah Coleman earned honorable mention WBCA All-America honors.

The 2014-15 season saw the Illini post a 9-3 non-conference record, starting the season with a 5-0 record to mark the best non-conference record to start a season that the program has seen in 12 years. Freshman Chatrice White proved to be a weapon on the floor as she broke the Illinois Freshman All-Time Scoring and Blocked Shots records. With Bollant’s coaching, the Illini earned a win over No. 9-ranked Kentucky at the Paradise Jam, and continued to upset No. 17 Iowa later in the season. Defensively, Illinois ranked among the top-15 in the nation, averaging more than 11 steals per game. Seniors Ivory Crawford and Brittany Carter played a major role in those numbers as they each ranked among the top-40 in the nation, individually. Bollant saw seven of his student-athletes earn All-Big Ten Academic honors following the season, proving that the program is headed in the right direction both on and off the court. Additionally, Bollant was recognized as the 2015 Kay Yow Heart of a Coach Award recipient following the season.

In 2012-13, the Illini reached the Women’s NIT quarterfinals and saw attendance at the Assembly Hall increase 80 percent from 2011-12 to an average of 1,926, the third-highest average attendance increase in Division I women’s basketball. Illinois also defeated three ranked opponents: No. 6 Georgia, No. 24 Iowa and No. 24 Ohio State, with the win over the Buckeyes snapping their 31-game home winning streak. The win over the Hawkeyes also broke an eight-game skid against Iowa.

The Illini shattered the Big Ten record for steals, steals per game and turnovers forced in a conference season, and also broke school records for steals, turnovers forced and three-pointers made in a season. Senior forward Karisma Penn became one of the country’s most dominant post players, averaging 19.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.2 blocked shots per game with 50.6 percent field-goal shooting, all of which ranked in the top five in the Big Ten. She was named an Associated Press honorable mention All-American and also earned two national player of the week honors. Senior guard Adrienne GodBold earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors after posting 55 steals in 16 conference games and routinely guarding opponents’ top offensive players.

Bollant’s team continued to shatter school records during the 2015-16 season as the Illini made 224 three-point field goals to reset the school record for the fourth consecutive season. Senior Kyley Simmons was among Big Ten Conference leaders for her 77 threes on the year. Bollant continued to work with Chatrice White, helping her to an outstanding sophomore season in which she became the second-fastest Illini to score 1,000 career points (61 games). White led the Big Ten and was among the top-15 in the country for her 18 double-doubles on the year, and also earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors. Bollant’s recruiting talents were once again on display as freshmen Cierra Rice and Alex Wittinger came in with a bang. The two combined for four Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors throughout the season, and both earned spots in the Illini starting five. Although Rice was sidelined by injury prior to conference play, Wittinger went on to earn Big Ten All-Freshman recognition at the conclusion of the year. As a team, Bollant guided the Illini to a 4-0 start to the season for the

second-straight year. In that stretch, his team earned back-to-back 90-point victories over UT Martin and Tennessee State, the first time an Illinois team has done so since 2013-14. Illinois’ 55-point victory over Tennessee State marks the fourth largest margin of victory for an Illini team in program history. The Orange and Blue also handed Bollant his 50th win at Illinois in a 74-69 defeat of Central Michigan. Prior to the 2015-16 season, Bollant ranked 10th among active head coaches in the country for his career winning percentage. Not only that, but Bollant has a 100-percent graduation rate in his 14 years of head coaching.

Bollant came to Illinois after a successful five-year stint at Green Bay, where he guided the Phoenix to five straight Horizon League titles and four straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. He led Green Bay to a 148-19 record (.886 winning percentage) in five years, including an 85-5 mark in the Horizon League. The Phoenix were a combined 65-4 in his final two seasons in Green Bay, going 34-2 in 2010-11. Green Bay was ranked as high as No. 9 in the national polls in both 2010-11 and 2011-12, finishing the 2011 season with that ranking. In 2010-11, Green Bay went 4-0 against the Big Ten, defeating Minnesota, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan State. In 2011-12, the Phoenix downed Illinois 82-62 at the San Juan Shootout and had triumphs over No. 25 Georgia Tech - a team that reached the Sweet 16 - Marquette and Wisconsin.

Green Bay had four wins over ranked opponents in the last four seasons, including a 65-56 victory over No. 12/13 Michigan State in the 2011 NCAA second round. The Phoenix entered the tournament as a No. 5 seed, defeating the No. 4 Spartans to reach the Sweet 16 for the first time school history. Green Bay also defeated No. 21 Virginia 69-67 in the first round of the 2010 tournament.

Green Bay lost to Iowa State in Ames by just four points (60-56) in the NCAA second round in 2010. In 2012, Green Bay returned to the site for NCAA first and second round play. Entering the tournament as the No. 10 seed, the Phoenix defeated the No. 7 seed Cyclones on the their home floor, 71-57, before seeing a comeback fall short against No. 2 seed Kentucky (65-62) in the second round.

Bollant was named the Horizon League Coach of the Year for the fourth time in 2012, guiding Green Bay to a 31-2 record despite losing Horizon League co-Players of the Year Kayla Tetschlag and Celeste Hoewisch. Senior Julie Wojta was a finalist for the Wade Trophy and earned WBCA Second Team All-America honors.

Bollant has an .837 winning percentage as a collegiate coach, including a 134-36 record at Bryan (Tenn.) College from the NAIA level. He guided the Lady Lions to four straight NAIA Tournaments, reaching the Sweet 16 in 2005-06. Bryan reached the top 25 rankings each of his last four years, reaching as high as No. 11 at the end of the 2006-07 season. Bollant coached four Appalachian Athletic Conference Players of the Year.

Bollant was as an assistant coach under Kathi Bennett, the daughter of former Wisconsin men’s coach Dick Bennett, for five seasons before becoming a collegiate head coach. He served three years under Bennett at Evansville, helping the Purple Aces to the 1999 NCAA Tournament, then followed her to Indiana, where the Hoosiers became the lowest seed (5) to win the Big Ten Tournament in 2002.

A 1994 graduate of Winona State University with a degree in business education, Bollant received a master’s degree in education from American Intercontinental University. He served as both the varsity and junior varsity head coach of Depper Life Academy in the Philippines and spent three years as the head coach at Tigerton (Wis.) High School, guiding the Tigers to a 63-10 record and to three Central Wisconsin Conference Small School titles from 1994-97.
