Indiana Heads to Madison to Face Defending Champs, No. 3 Wisconsin
11/4/2022 9:30:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The third game in a string of three-straight top-15 teams away from home, the Indiana Volleyball team (13-12, 6-7) makes its way to Madison for a Sunday matinee showdown with No. 3 Wisconsin.
Wisconsin, last year's Big Ten and NCAA Champions, rides a 11-game winning streak into Sunday's matchup. The Hoosiers enter the weekend having dropped back-to-back matches.
Four of IU's last seven matches in the regular season are projected to come against top-25 teams, providing the Hoosiers big opportunities to bolster their resume and push for a winning season and NCAA Tournament bid.
Sunday's match will be streamed via the Big Ten Plus service starting at 2:00 PM ET/1:00 PM CT.
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 3.70 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 843 assists rank No. 2 in the Big Ten and her 8.97 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 over Rutgers (Oct. 28) with each hitting over .300.
• Paula Cerame has 123 digs over her previous seven matches for IU and is No. 2 in the Big Ten (359) this season in the category.
• She's been over 20 digs in four matches this season and has been in double digits in 13 of the last 14 matches.
• The Hoosiers have developed an identity as one of the toughest serving teams in the conference and in the NCAA.
• IU sits No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 16 nationally in service aces this year. It is the highest-ranked power five team in the NCAA in aces.
• Camryn Haworth (34) and Paula Cerame (32) are 4th and 5th in the Big Ten while Kenzie Daffinee's electric jump serve has earned her at least two aces on four separate occasions this season.
• Savannah Kjolhede owns 87 total blocks this season which ranks No. 8 in the Big Ten Conference.
The Opposition:
No. 3 Wisconsin (18-3)
• After taking on last year's runners-up on Wednesday, Indiana will meet the defending Big Ten and National Champions on Sunday in Madison.
• Wisconsin is a ruthless blocking team and rank No. 3 in total blocks (221.5) and No. 2 in blocks per set (3.12) in the Big Ten. Three different players have over 80 kills for the Badgers.
• Four different players have over 100 kills for Wisconsin including Sarah Franklin who paces the Badgers with 275 and 3.77 per set. Danielle Hart is hitting a team-leading .385 this year with 113 kills on 208 swings.
• Freshman libero Gulce Guctekin has stepped into the starting role this season and owns 262 digs to pair with 92 assists.

• The Badgers have won 11-straight matches since dropping a contest to rival Minnesota at the beginning of the conference slate.
