BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – There was no shortage of offense on Sunday (Nov. 16) afternoon at Wilkinson. Indiana's potent attack hit at a record clip as it swept visiting Maryland in straight sets (25-23, 25-22, 25-14). The Hoosiers (21-5, 12-4 B1G) recorded 51 kills in just three sets with a hitting percentage of .456. All five primary attackers had at least five kills as the program picked up its 21st win of the season.

From the jump, IU's offense scored in every fashion it wanted. Freshman setter Teodora Krickovic directed a fantastic game plan against Maryland's block. She recorded 42 assists (14.00 per set) and set the Hoosiers to a hitting percentage of .456. (54-7-103). IU's hitting efficiency was the highest in a Big Ten match since 1991 and the best in any conference match since the beginning of the rally-scoring era (since 2001).

IU committed just seven attacking errors in the entire match but hit at a .607 clip in the third set with 17 kills and zero errors. The seven hitting errors are the fewest in a Big Ten match since volleyball began the 25-point rally-scoring era in 2008. It's the first time IU has hit above .450 in a contest since Aug. 26, 2003 (.500 – vs. Radford).

Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager continued her tear on the conference with a match-high 16 kills at a .542 hitting percentage. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles provided 14 kills in the win. In seven career matches against Maryland, she reached double-digit kills each time. Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum added 10 kills at a .360 clip.

Freshman middle blocker Victoria Gray had an outstanding offensive weekend for the Hoosiers. In two wins, she had 14 kills with zero errors. She hit .636 and also provided six blocks in the pair of victories. Senior middle blocker Madi Sell added five kills and three blocks in Sunday's win.

The victory over Maryland helped IU match single-season program records for regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins – since the NCAA adopted volleyball in 1981. On Thursday (Nov. 20) against Rutgers, IU will look to break the single-season program Big Ten wins record.

Notes to Know
• IU's offense hit at a record clip on Sunday afternoon. Its .456 hitting percentage is the highest in any of its Big Ten matches since the beginning of the rally-scoring era (2001). In program history it's the eighth best single-game mark and the best in any Big Ten game since Nov. 2, 1991 (.489 – vs. Michigan State).

• With a win on Sunday, IU matched single-season program records for regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins (12). It has been 30 years (1995) since the Hoosiers last won 12 conference matches in a season. IU has four opportunities left for the chance to break the all-time single-season mark.

• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles, senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum, junior setter Luca Fickell and junior middle blocker Ava Vickers made history in the win. Those four players are the only Hoosiers in program history to experience two 21-win seasons – since the NCAA started sponsoring volleyball in 1981.

• Since the beginning of 2022, IU is now 37-14 (.725) inside Wilkinson Hall. The Hoosiers have now won 21-straight contests against unranked opponents inside the home gym. IU is just one win away from recording at least 10 home wins in three-straight seasons for the first time since 1998-2000.

• IU is now 10-2 this season, and 24-8 since 2023, when senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles and senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum each record 10-or-more kills in a match. The Hoosiers are also 10-2 this season when three different players provide double-digit kills.

• Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager provided 16 kills on just 24 swings against Maryland. She's the first IU player since Kaley Rammelsberg (16-2-23 vs. Georgia Tech – Sept. 10, 2021) to go for at least 16 kills on fewer than 25 swings against a Power Four opponent.

• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles helped IU to the 40th Big Ten win of her career and the 73rd overall victory of her tenure. She's now one win away from tying the program's all-time wins record and two away from setting the new standard in Bloomington.
