Hoosiers Travel to No. 3 Nebraska, Iowa

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Although they did not come away with victories, the Indiana volleyball team had a productive weekend against then No. 2 Minnesota and No. 3 Wisconsin and hope to use what they learned going on the road to take on No. 3 Nebraska on Friday and Iowa on Saturday.

The 2016 Hoosiers
IU head coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan enters her 10^th season at the helm for the Indiana volleyball program with high hopes for this season. Although the team graduated five seniors they bring in six newcomers, including a freshmen class of five, which was ranked No. 29 in the country by PrepVolleyball.Com.

Looking Ahead
After this road trip the Hoosiers return home to host Rutgers (Oct. 14) and Penn State (Oct. 15) on homecoming weekend. The following weekend the Hoosiers are back on the road to take on Illinois and Northwestern.

Records and Milestones
On Friday Sept. 16 senior Megan Tallman was presented with a special game ball for reaching her 3,000^th career assist. Tallman currently ranks fifth on the Hoosiers all-time list for career assists with 3,499. With two more assists, Tallman will move into fourth all-time and be the Hoosiers all-time leader in the rally scoring era.

Senior Taylor Lebo moved into seventh on the Hoosiers all-time list for career aces and now has 118. Lebo also passed 900 career digs and has tallied 967 for her career. Earlier this season against Campbell, IU head coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan earned her 250^th career win.

Koors Stepping It Up From The Service Line
Freshman Meaghan Koors has played in all 59 of the Hoosiers sets this season and is making an impact. Against Minnesota Koors had two aces and against Wisconsin, Koors, the defensive specialist, posted three kills on five attempts. Koors leads the Big Ten in aces in conference matches, having tallied seven aces through four Big Ten matches. Last year, Koors won a state championship with Cathedral as they went undefeated and were ranked No. 1 in the country.

Moving Up In RPI
The first NCAA RPI came out this week and the Hoosiers are ranked No. 40, their best mark since the 2010 season, when they went to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
