Stellar Serving Sends Hoosiers Past Wildcats
8/25/2023 10:00:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - An outstanding night from the service line, highlighted by four aces from junior setter Camryn Haworth, boosted the Indiana Volleyball team (1-0, 0-0) to an opening-night sweep of New Hampshire on Friday night (Aug. 25) in Wilkinson Hall.
In front of a raucous student section, IU defeated New Hampshire 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-12), winning a third-consecutive season opener under head coach Steve Aird.
The Hoosiers featured a balance attack offensively with six players providing four-or-more kills including a game-high 10 kills from junior outside hitter Mady Saris. Graduate student middle blocker Kaley Rammelsberg was errorless across 15 attempts, providing eight kills and an additional three blocks in the victory.
IU aced New Hampshire 14 times across three sets, breaking a program record for team aces in a match under the current 25-point rally-scoring system (played since 2008).
Three players made their IU debuts including Gary, sophomore opposite hitter Avry Tatum and redshirt freshman setter Natalia Hagopian.
IU returns to action tomorrow for a pair of games to close out the Indiana Invitational at 10:00 AM (Southern Indiana) and 7:00 PM (Radford).
