Fast Out of the Gates
The Hoosiers started 9-0 for the second straight season. It was the sixth time in program history Indiana has started 9-0 and the first time in school history they have done it in back-to-back seasons.
2016 in Review
The Hoosiers are coming off their best season since 2010 as they finished 17-16 overall in the 2016 season. The team started 9-0 for the fourth time in school history and went 11-2 in non-conference play. The Big Ten slate was highlighted by wins over No. 13 Michigan and No. 22 Ohio State. In all, the Hoosiers beat four teams that made the NCAA Tournament.
The 2017 Roster
With the graduation of five seniors there will be many new faces on the 2017 roster. The team includes 11 freshmen and sophomores and six newcomers. In addition to the five freshmen, the Hoosiers have also added graduate student Kristen Ostach. Ostach completed her undergraduate education at Fordham and was the team captain in her senior year.
The Youth Movement
With 11 freshmen and sophomores the Hoosiers have gotten significant contributions from their younger players. At the George Washington Invitational, sophomore libero Meaghan Koors was named the MVP. Koors tied a program record for digs in a three-set match with 25 in the win over George Washington. Koors has three matches this season with 20 or more digs. Sophomore setter Victoria Brisack currently ranks sixth in the NCAA in assists per set with 11.94 per set.
In the five-set win against Florida Gulf Coast on 9/16, the youth stepped up in a big way. Freshman Kamryn Malloy came into the match in the third set and tallied nine kills on 12 attempts with no errors for a .750 hitting percentage. Malloy followed that up with a season-high 11 kills against Illinois on Wednesday.
Fellow freshman Bayli Lebo led the Hoosiers in digs in the match against FGCU with a career-high 14. Sophomore Kendall Beerman tied her career-high for kills with 19. Beerman is leading the Hoosiers in kills with 169.
On A Roll
Sophomore Kendall Beerman leads the Hoosiers with 169 kills this season. Beerman has posted double-digit kills in nine straight matches. Beerman is in the top-five for the Hoosiers in four different statistical categories. On the defensive side, sophomore libero Meaghan Koors leads the Hoosiers with 200 digs (4.00 per set). Koors has tallied double-digit digs in eight of the last nine matches and has recorded 20 or more digs in three matches this season.
Back Home Again
The Hoosiers will be back home on Saturday Sept. 30 when they host Purdue for a 7:00 p.m. match. Free t-shirts will be given to the first 200 fans in attendance and the IU women's basketball team will be signing autographs starting at 6:00 p.m.
