11/1/2022 11:30:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - IU continues a string of five-consecutive matches against ranked opponents with a trip to No. 4 Nebraska and the Bob Devaney Center on Wednesday night in Lincoln.
The match will be broadcasted on the Big Ten Network at 9:00 PM EST/8:00 PM CST with Larry Punteney (PXP) & Emily Ehman (Color) on the call.
IU suffered a four-set setback to No. 12 Purdue on Sunday afternoon, snapping a four-game winning streak that was extended last Friday night with a 3-1 win over Rutgers.
This will be the only matchup of the season with the Cornhuskers. Nebraska, Minnesota and Michigan are IU's road-only matches this year.
IU has a 3-4 record on the road in the conference this season with wins over Maryland, Michigan State and No. 25 Michigan.
The Hoosiers are 1-1 in matches broadcasted on the Big Ten Network. This will be the final nationally-televised match this season for IU.
The Hoosiers:
• This marks the 48th season of Indiana Volleyball including the fifth under head coach Steve Aird.
• Mady Saris continues to have a productive sophomore campaign for IU. She owns 336 kills (No. 3 in Big Ten) and 3.69 kills per set (No. 7 in Big Ten).
• Camryn Haworth has proven to be one of the most versatile setters in all of the Big Ten. Her 820 assists rank No. 3 in the Big Ten and her 9.01 assists per set put her 6th in the conference.
• Morgan Geddes and Kaley Rammelsberg have returned to give IU a full-strength lineup in conference play. The pair combined for 22 kills in IU's win over Rutgers with each hitting over .300.
• Paula Cerame has 112 digs over her previous four matches for IU and is No. 3 in the Big Ten (348) this season in the category.
• She owns double digit kills in 12 of the last 13 matches. She's been over 20 digs in four matches this season.
• Camryn Haworth and Paula Cerame sit 4th and 5th in the Big Ten in service aces with 33 and 32 respectively this season.
• Savannah Kjolhede owns 86 total blocks this season which ranks No. 8 in the Big Ten Conference.
• The Hoosiers sit 13-11 overall and 6-6 in conference, putting them in a tie for sixth in the Big Ten with three other programs.
• With eight matches to play in the season, IU has a chance to push for a first tournament bid since 2010. There will be at least five ranked matches left on the schedule and the opportunity to add big wins to a resume that already features wins over Texas A&M and No. 25 Michigan, a sweep of Michigan State and a road win at Maryland.
The Opposition:
No. 4 Nebraska (19-2)
• The defending National Runner-Up Cornhuskers enter Wednesday night at 19-2 and in a three-way tie for first place at 11-1 in the Big Ten.
• Nebraska is built on the foundation of consecutive top-5 recruiting classes as well as the addition of Penn State transfer and senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Hord.
• The Huskers are lethal in attack and score from every position on the floor. Madi Kubik, Whitney Lauenstein, Ally Batenhorst and Lindsay Krause pace a strong offensive rotation. Freshman middle Bekka Allick has come on the scene in recent weeks and provides an extra threat at the net.
• Lexi Rodriguez is one of the best liberos in the nation and was the 2021 National Freshman of the Year as well as the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
• Nebraska has a plethora of options to set with Anni Evans, Nicklin Hames and the No. 1 Recruit in the 2022 class, Kennedi Orr, each recording 190+ assists this season.
• The Huskers haven't lost a home match to an unranked conference opponent since Oct. 4, 2013, against Ohio State.
• IU owns one-ever victory over Nebraska which came in 1978.
