Middles Run Show in Sweep of Maryland
10/7/2023 11:00:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
COLLEGE PARK, MD. - Middle blockers Kaley Rammelsberg and Savannah Kjolhede combined to hit .457 (22-1-46) as the Indiana Volleyball team (13-6, 3-3) made quick work of Maryland on Saturday night at the Xfinity Center Pavilion.
IU picked up its first Big Ten road sweep since 2019 with a 3-0 victory (25-18, 25-19, 25-20) in Maryland, outhitting the hosts by over 100 points (.279-.174) on the night.
The Hoosiers begin league play 3-3 for the first time since 2014. All three losses have come to the only undefeated teams in the Big Ten (No. 1 Wisconsin, No. 2 Nebraska and No. 14 Penn State).
Up next for the Hoosiers is a massive in-state showdown with top-20 Purdue coming to Wilkinson Hall on Wednesday night (6:00 PM ET, Big Ten Network).
