CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Kendall Bostic delivered an impressive performance, scoring 25 points and securing 12 rebounds, guiding the No. 22 Illinois women’s basketball team to a dominant 94-25 victory over Le Moyne during Field Trip Day on Monday afternoon.

Bostic was highly efficient, hitting 11 of her 13 attempts from the field, contributing to Illinois’ overall shooting percentage of 58%. The team also excelled beyond the arc, making nine three-pointers, and showcased strong free-throw shooting as well, going 11 of 12 from the charity stripe.

In addition to Bostic’s standout contribution, Gretchen Dolan provided support with 15 points and dished out seven assists. Adalia McKenzie added 14 points, and Jasmine Brown-Hagger chipped in with 13. The 69-point victory margin ranks as the third-largest in the history of the program.

On the other hand, Le Moyne struggled throughout the game, managing only a 23% shooting performance and sinking just 2 out of 21 three-point attempts. They faced significant challenges on the boards, being out-rebounded 42 to 18, and their 22 turnovers allowed Illinois to capitalize with 42 points. Eli Clark was the leading scorer for the Dolphins with seven points.

Dolan set the tone for the game early, contributing seven points during a 19-0 run that established a commanding 30-7 lead after the first quarter. Bostic then joined in, scoring five points alongside a collective effort from six players in a subsequent 19-0 run to open the second quarter, leading to a staggering 49-9 advantage at halftime.
