BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana Volleyball team (9-7, 2-4 B1G) continues a tough five-game stretch through Big Ten play as it heads to Illinois for an important, nationally televised matchup at Huff Hall on Wednesday (Oct. 16) evening. Connor Onion (PxP) and Emily Ehman (Color) will have the call on Big Ten Network.
IU came close to its first signature win of the season against No. 3 Penn State on Sunday but let late leads slip away in set three (23-21) and set four (17-12). Senior setter Camryn Haworth came one kill away from her fourth career triple-double (36 assists, 11 digs and 9 kills).
Haworth, the Fishers, Ind. native, has 10 matches with 7+ kills in her career. Her effort against Penn State was the 29th double-double of her fantastic college career. She moves into a tie for second (Victoria Brisack) for the most double-doubles in IU history during the 25-point rally era (since 2008).
The Hoosiers are in search of a signature win this season and an away contest at Illinois (#26 in RPI) offers an outstanding chance. IU hasn't won in Huff Hall since 2007 and has lost 14-straight contests in Champaign. IU came within points of winning last season, falling 10-15 in game five on the road.
Junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles is on a fine run of form since the beginning of conference play. The six-rotation hitter from Madrid is averaging 3.86 kills per set, 2.05 digs per set and 4.32 points per set in Big Ten action. She had a season high 18 kills on two occasions against Ohio State (Oct. 6) and Penn State (Oct. 13).
Junior opposite hitter Avry Tatum is looking to get going offensively again after three-straight matches with fewer than 10 kills. On the season, the Solana Beach, Calif. native has a pair of 20-kill matches. She opened Big Ten play with three-straight 10+ kill matches and combined for 43 against Oregon (24) and Michigan State (19).
IU's Wednesday night contest at Illinois will be the third national television game of the season for IU. All three have come on the road. The Fighting Illini are one of IU's three double play opponents in the new era of the Big Ten. IU already beat Ohio State and will play Purdue on Saturday night in West Lafayette.

Brilliant Home Environment

The 7-0 start, which ended after a tight loss to No. 3 Penn State, was the best start to a home campaign in program history. Over the past two seasons, IU is 17-4 inside the confines of its home gym. Three of those four losses were to top-5 teams.
Haworth Heats Up Against Illinois
• The Hoosiers host No. 3 Penn State on Sunday in Wilkinson Hall. IU has never beaten a top-3 team in program history. It has already lost to No. 1 Texas this year. The highest ranked win in program history was against No. 4 Penn State in 2010.
