IU (5-0) snatched eight of the final nine points in the fifth set to erase a 13-8 deficit, and come away with the fifth win on the season.
Although, IU won its first two sets, Illinois State (3-2) made a comback by winning the next two sets. (25-20, 25-20, 18-25, 20-25, 16-14).
It seemed like a rerun of the season-opener against Georgia Tech with IU letting a two-sets-to-none lead disappear before storming back in the final set to secure the win.
Senior middle blocker Ashley Benson continued her dominance by hitting .500 with 14 kills and blocking nine balls.
In the fifth set, just as she did down in Atlanta, recording three kills and three stuffs to lead the Hoosiers to victory.
IU looks to capture their second tournament title in as many weekends, tonight against North Carolina State (5-0) at 7:30.
NC State is also 2-0 on the weekend and will battle it out for the IU Adidas Classic crown at the University Gym.
