IU Battles Back to Beat Texas A&M 3-1
9/16/2022 5:00:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – After a slow start in the first set, the Indiana Volleyball team (6-4, 0-0) responded by rattling off victories in three straight sets to takedown Texas A&M 3-1 on Friday afternoon.
The first game of the WKU Invitational, IU got double-digit kills from three athletes to beat the Aggies in a back-and-forth affair 19-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-23.
This was the first victory over SEC opposition since a 2019 win over No. 15 Kentucky.
Morgan Geddes paced the way offensively with a career-high 15 kills while Mady Saris and Kaley Rammelsberg were each up to double-digits for the Hoosiers.
IU will return to action this evening for a matchup with Tennessee Tech before taking on No. 21 Western Kentucky tomorrow afternoon.
