CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Kendall Bostic delivered her 36th career double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds and three other Illini scored in double figures as #22 Illinois overpowered LeMoyne 94-25 Monday afternoon.
The weekday game - an annual staple for the Illinois program to offer free admission to a college game for students - drew the third largest crowd in program history with 13,486 in attendance.
The game was never in doubt as Illinois shot 68 percent in the first quarter while taking a 30-7 lead.
Bostic hit 11-of-13 from the field in just 19 minutes of action as she equaled LeMoyne's scoring total as the Illini set team records for fewest points allowed in a half (9) and in a game (25) at home.
Gretchen Dolan scored 15 points, Adalia McKenzie 14, and Jasmine Brown-Hagger added 13 for Illinois, which starts 4-0 for the second time in three years under head coach Shauna Green. Her first team in 2022-23 won its first six games en route to a 14-2 start and an eventual NCAA tournament berth.
Eli Clark led LeMoyne (0-5), a private college based in Syracuse, New York, that went Division I last year and plays in the Northeast Conference, with 7 points
Illinois will close out its season-opening five-game home stand Friday night against Oregon State (7pm, BTN+).
