BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana volleyball team will close out the regular season on the road this week at Michigan on Wednesday Nov. 26 at 7:00 p.m. and at Minnesota on Friday Nov. 28 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
SUCCESS AGAINST WOLVERINES, GOLDEN GOPHERS
The Hoosiers are 2-0 this season against Michigan and Minnesota, winning both matches in four sets. Against Minnesota the Hoosiers finished the match with a 35-33 victory in set four.
WHAT A DIFFERENT A YEAR MAKES
Last year at this point in the season the Hoosiers were 9-21 and 1-17 in conference play. The Hoosiers have gone from one Big Ten win a season ago to six this season, something that only three teams in the conference have done since 1985. Additionally, the Hoosiers have equaled their Big Ten win total from the previous three seasons combined this year. With one more win the Hoosiers could be the first Big Ten team to go from one win to seven.
LEACH JOINS 1,000 KILL CLUB
On Friday Oct. 17 against Ohio State, senior Morgan Leach recorded her 1,000th career kill to become the 17th IU Volleyball player to join to 1,000 kill club. On Wednesday in the win vs. Rutgers, Leach moved into 16th on the all-time career list and now has 1,095 career kills. Leach is nine kills from 15th on the career list.
TALLMAN CLIMBING THE RECORD BOOKS
Sophomore Megan Tallman recorded her 1,000th career assist in the Hoosiers match vs. UIC on Sept. 12 and continues to climb the record books. Tallman is currently ninth in career assists with 1,781 and in the win vs. Rutgers on Wednesday, Tallman recorded her 1,000th assist of the season, becoming just the 14th IU player to reach 1,000 or more assists in a season. Tallman currently has 1,092 for the 2013-14 campaign.
LEBO AND THE HIGH FLYING JUMP SERVE
Sophomore outside hitter Taylor Lebo gave the fans something to cheer about on Wednesday against Rutgers as Lebo tallied five aces in the match. Lebo, who ranks 12th in the NCAA in aces, now has 50 for the season, which ranks eighth on the Hoosiers all-time list for single-season aces.
HARNISH TOP-10 IN SINGLE SEASON DIGS
Junior libero and captain Courtney Harnish is having her best season of her career. Harnish has 423 digs and ranks sixth in the Big Ten in that category. Harnish is currently seventh on the all-time single season digs list for IU.
