KEY MOMENTS
• Camryn Haworth had the first kill of the match for the Hoosiers but were still down 7-1. Kari Zumach saw her first slam of the day to put life in the Indiana attack out of a timeout.

Despite the early lead, Purdue bounced back and forced an Indiana timeout. Out of the break and in the hole 13-9, Savannah Kjolhede found the gap for a kill. Indiana couldn't recover and the Boilermakers went on win the second set, 25-14.

QUOTABLE

"First I want to give credit to Purdue. They were great today. We will see them against at their place right after Thanksgiving and hopefully we will be better. I was disappointed in our performance. When we play flat and not well, I think that lands on my shoulders. I must get them up and ready to roll. I must get them ready for the event. We played Friday night, tried to put together a game plan on Saturday and I clearly did not do a great job. This is on me." - Head Coach Steve Aird

UP NEXT

The Hoosiers will travel to Columbus, Ohio on Wednesday, September 29 to take on Ohio State. The match is set 6 p.m. on Big Ten Network.
