BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Aligning with the release of the Big Ten Volleyball schedule, head coach Steve Aird announced the program's 2024 slate on Wednesday (June 12) afternoon. This will be the first season that the conference fields 18 schools after the addition of four west coast programs.
"Our program is excited about the 2024 season as we enter a new era of Big Ten competition," Aird said. "We have built a very difficult pre-conference schedule and fully understand the challenge this season presents. I am grateful that IU continues to support our program at the highest level. The support from the administration and our fans has been incredible. The team is training hard, recruiting is exceptional and we are all very proud of where Indiana Volleyball is headed."
The Hoosiers' volleyball schedule will feature 30 total games, 15 home matches, 10 matches against teams that made the NCAA Tournament last year and three contests against Final Four teams. IU's marquee non-conference weekend will see the team head to Austin, Texas for a match against the two-time defending national champions, Texas, and a rematch against Miami (Fla.).
A revamped Big Ten Conference will see each team play three permanent opponents twice while taking on the remaining 14 teams just one time (seven home, seven away). IU's double play contests in Big Ten action will be against Purdue, Ohio State and Illinois.
The league will maintain the traditional 20-game conference schedule which begins the week of Sept. 23. IU opens Big Ten play on the west coast for a rematch against Washington (Sept. 27) and the program's first-ever meeting with Oregon.
"I think it is fantastic to add the four west coast programs," Aird said. "They are excellent teams with great staffs and a lot of history across the board. All four institutions care deeply about women's volleyball and I am sure it will lead to fantastic matches this season and beyond."
Wilkinson Hall will host 15 matches in 2024, beginning with the home opener on Labor Day (Sept. 2) against UC-Davis. Ball State, Southern Indiana and Chicago State come to Bloomington for the Indiana Invitational (Sept. 13-14). The Hoosiers will open their home conference slate with matches against Michigan State (Oct. 4) and Ohio State (Oct. 6) on the first weekend of October.
In addition to a weekend in Austin and the four early home matches, IU will head to Kennesaw State to play the host, Owls, and Wichita State, the winners of the 2023 NIVC Tournament. The preseason slate closes with a home-and-home series against Notre Dame on Sept. 20 (A) and Sept. 22 (H).
"This is a very difficult non-conference schedule that will certainly prepare us for the grind of the Big Ten slate," Aird said. "There are no off nights in the conference and we feel that this early-season schedule will help prepare us for elite competition."
The rest of IU's conference schedule includes contests against Purdue on Oct. 19 (A) and Nov. 8 (H). Wisconsin, a national semifinalist in 2023, comes to town on Oct. 24. USC and UCLA make their first trips to Bloomington for volleyball in program history in November. The Hoosiers will spend Thanksgiving at home with contests against Michigan (Nov. 27) and Illinois (Nov. 29) sandwiched around the Thursday holiday.
A familiar core of athletes will feature for IU this season including All-American setter Camryn Haworth and All-Big Ten libero Ramsey Gary. Veterans Morgan Geddes, Mady Saris, Candela Alonso-Corcelles and Avry Tatum all come into the season as upperclassmen. Single game and season ticket information will be available at a later date.
