BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Despite winning almost every statistical battle, the Indiana volleyball team (18-11, 8-8) was on the wrong end of a five-set battle (25-13, 30-32, 25-19, 23-25, 12-15) at Wilkinson Hall on Sunday (November 12th) afternoon.

The Hoosiers scored 11 more points than the visiting Golden Gophers in the match but suffered a pair of two-point losses before losing by three in the fifth set. The 62-point second frame was the second time in the past five matches that IU has seen a set go into the 60's.

IU hit .244 as a team but struggled down the stretch. The Hoosiers had 10 aces from the end line but also recorded 13 service errors on the afternoon. Junior setter Camryn Haworth provided a career-high 58 assists while sophomore outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles went for a career-best 24 kills.

Four matches remain in the regular season for IU with visits from Maryland (Friday) and No. 2 Wisconsin (Sunday) before heading to the Michigan schools over Thanksgiving break.
