10/4/2022 1:00:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The defending National Champions make their way to Bloomington on Wednesday night for the final game in a string of three-consecutive home matches for the Hoosiers.
The Indiana Volleyball team (9-7, 2-2) will host No. 7 Wisconsin (9-3, 3-1) in Wilkinson Hall on Wednesday evening in the second match of a volleyball doubleheader on the Big Ten Network.
IU comes into the match on the heels of a four-set defeat to No. 6 Ohio State. The Hoosiers rallied to take the third set 25-23 but would fall in the fourth.
This marks the third top-10 opponent in conference play already this season after matches with No. 9 Penn State and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes.
Connor Onion (PxP) and Emily Ehman (Color) will have the call at 8:00 PM EST on the Big Ten Network.
The Hoosiers:
• The 2022 season marks the beginning of the 48th year of Indiana Volleyball including the fifth under head coach Steve Aird.
• Mady Saris continues her ascent up the charts in the Big Ten, proving to be one of the conference's most prolific attackers. She is fourth in the Big Ten in kills with 208 including a career high 20 at Maryland.
• Saris has double digit kills in 13 matches this season.
• Paula Cerame is as steady as they come in the back row. She provided 18 digs in the win over Iowa and 9 against Ohio State and has 205 on the season (No. 5 in the Big Ten).
• Heading into Wednesday's match, Cerame is just 27 digs away from eclipsing 1,000 for her entire collegiate career.
• Camryn Haworth was all over the place against Ohio State with 7 kills, 8 digs and 25 assists. She passed 1,000 career assists against Iowa and continues to prove she's one of the most dynamic athletes in the Big Ten.
• She's the only player in the Big Ten with 500+ assists, 100+ digs, 50+ kills and 25+ service aces this season.
• Savannah Kjolhede had six solo blocks in the defeat to No. 6 Ohio State. She's got 206 career blocks in just three seasons as she inches closer to IU's top-10 list.
• Kjolhede is hitting .381 (No. 5 in the Big Ten) with 104 kills on the campaign.
• Grae Gosnell and Ashley Zulauf played big points against the Buckeyes, combining for 8 kills, 10 digs and 3 blocks.
• Four different Hoosiers have at least 100 kills this season (Candela Alonso-Corcelles, Mady Saris, Savannah Kjolhede, Morgan Geddes).
• The Hoosiers are No. 2 in the Big Ten in service aces (108) and rank top-20 nationally in the same category.
The Opposition:
No. 7 Wisconsin
• Wisconsin enters the season as the defending national champions after beating Nebraska in five sets to capture the program's first-ever title. The Badgers became the third Big Ten school (Penn State and Nebraska) to capture an NCAA Championship.
• The Badgers run a 6-2 rotation with setters Izzy Ashburn and MJ Hammill playing a crucial role in the offense. Outside hitter Sarah Franklin is one of the conference's most prolific attackers and owns 142 kills (3.84 per set) on the season.
• Freshman libero Gulce Gultekin is one of the best newcomers in the Big Ten and has been Wisconsin's starting libero from day one. She's dug 164 balls this year and has provided 54 assists.
• Wisconsin owns three-ranked wins this year (No. 24 Marquette, No. 14 Kentucky and No. 9 Penn State). All three defeats have been at the hands of ranked opposition.
• Kelly Sheffield is in his 10th season at the helm of the program and has led the Badgers to the Sweet 16 or better every season. They've won four Big Ten titles including three-in-a-row and have been to three-straight Final Fours.
