BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Behind a career night from Morgan Geddes and equally as great night from Mady Saris, the Indiana Volleyball team rattled off its fourth-straight win with a 3-1 victory in Wilkinson Hall.

Geddes provided a career best 17 kills as IU bested Rutgers 25-13, 25-17, 25-27, 25-14 on Friday evening.

The victory marks a fourth straight for the Hoosiers, the first four-game winning streak in the Big Ten since 2008.

Rutgers got back into the match after picking off the third set but IU put the Scarlet Knights to bed in the fourth set to record the victory.

Camryn Haworth recorded a double-double (38 assists, 14 digs) to help pace the Hoosiers' offense while Mady Saris (five blocks) and Kaley Rammelsberg (four blocks) helped hold Rutgers to just .017 offensively on the evening.

IU begins a brutal stretch of five-consecutive ranked opponents with a Sunday matinee showdown (1:00 PM) in West Lafayette with No. 12 Purdue.
