Junior middle blocker Laura Mettes led the Hoosier attack with 13 kills and four blocks. She was followed in double figures by outside hitter Ryann Connors who posted 12 kills. As a team, Indiana registered a .285 attack percentage while Michigan hit a .182. The Hoosiers also won the battle at the net with 12 blocks compared to the Spartans two.
"Any win in the Big Ten is a big win," said Katie Weismiller. "Our team was focused tonight and to win in three games, that was our goal. I think the key to tonight's win was our serving. We served aggresively and were able to take them out of their offense."
