BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – With every game in this historic season comes another volleyball milestone. On Thursday (Nov. 20) evening, the Hoosiers broke a single-season program record for Big Ten wins (13) with a 3-0 victory over Rutgers at Wilkinson Hall. It's the first time in school history that IU has won more than 12 conference games in the same season.
Big Ten success had long evaded the Hoosiers since the conference adopted the sport in 1981. Since head coach Steve Aird took over the program in 2018, conference wins have picked up at a fast rate. IU has won 41 Big Ten matches over the last four seasons, the most in a four-year stretch in program history. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles already owns the program's all-time Big Ten wins record.
With just three conference matches remaining, IU has a chance to finish in the top five of the Big Ten for the first time since the turn of the century. The Hoosiers are currently tied for third in the conference with a small lead on USC (fifth). IU has Nebraska, Illinois and Purdue remaining on the schedule in 2025.
Since the Big Ten began picking a full preseason poll in 2014, no team has finished in the top five of the regular season standings after being selected to finish 10th-or-lower in the preseason. IU was selected 11th in the Big Ten's preseason coaches' poll and has an inside track to finish in the top five. Head coach Steve Aird and company will finish out the regular season home slate on Saturday (Nov. 22) against top-ranked Nebraska.
