BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana volleyball team goes back on the road to take on Rutgers on Wednesday Nov. 11 at 6:00 p.m. ET.
The Hoosiers beat Rutgers earlier this season at home in four sets. Senior Amelia Anderson led Indiana with 12 kills in the match and senior Awele Nwaeze added 11 kills.
IU head coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said she feels the Hoosiers are on the right track towards improving each week for a strong finish to the season.
"We are going to keep the go for it mentality and we want to keep improving," Dunbar-Kruzan said. "I think the big key is to never give up and to stay on the things we know can reach us to our potential as a team. I think it is really important that we attack this week with a winning mentality."
Notes and Storylines Going into the Match
• Senior Amelia Anderson has 1,069 kills for the season and leads the Hoosiers with 346 this season.
