SHE'S GOT GAME

Now in her third year at Illinois, Law has brought in nearly half the team herself and says that she’s becoming more and more optimistic about where the program is headed. The Illini finished 10-21 last year and ninth in the Big Ten with a 5-13 record in conference games. The good news is that every starter is back and the six freshmen on the roster are ranked as the No. 3 recruiting class in the nation. It’s the highest-ranked recruiting class in the history of the program.
