Indiana Head Coach Steve Aird Opening Statement
"Pretty self explanatory tonight. I thought Maryland played well. They blocked the ball great. Our outside hitters hit zero, negative and .071. I thought Brooke struggled. I didn't think we passed the ball great. Sometimes you just have a tough night. Congrats to Maryland."
