BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana volleyball team is back on the road this week as they travel to No. 22 Illinois on Friday Oct. 21 for an 8:00 p.m. ET match and are at Northwestern on Sunday Oct. 23 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The match on Sunday will be televised live on the Big Ten Network.
Lebo Reaches 1K Digs
On Saturday Oct. 15 against Penn State, senior Taylor Lebo became the 13th player in program history to reach 1,000 career digs. Lebo, who has reached double digit digs in 13 matches this season, currently ranks 12th in school history in career digs with 1,003. She is 10 digs away from moving into 11th and 25 digs from cracking the top-10 in school history for career digs. Lebo leads the Hoosiers with 245 digs on the season and is already nearing her total from last season of 269 digs.
Additional Milestones
Also against Penn State, senior Allison Hammond reached her 300th career dig. Hammond, who leads the Hoosiers in kills this season with 242, is 14 kills away from 600 for her career. Hammond is currently seventh in the Big Ten in kills at 3.78 per set. Hammond is on pace to crush her total kills from last season. In the 2015 season Hammond recorded 251 kills and she already has 242 this season.
Last Time Against Northwestern
The Wildcats are the first Big Ten opponent the Hoosiers will play for a second time this season. In the last meeting, in Bloomington on September 24, the Hoosiers secured a 3-0 victory. Freshman Hayden Huybers hit a perfect hitting percentage with 10 kills on 10 attempts in the match. She became the first Hoosiers to achieve that feat since Samantha Thrower in 2011, who connected on 15 kills on 15 swings.
