BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – In front of a fantastic crowd in Bloomington, the Indiana volleyball team (22-6, 13-5 B1G) put up a valiant effort against No. 1 Nebraska. The Hoosiers had leads in all three sets but couldn't find the points to close out each game. The Huskers finished off a 3-0 sweep (25-19, 25-16, 25-22) to remain undefeated. IU finishes its regular season home slate at 10-3 and 7-3 in the Big Ten.
Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles fought through a big Nebraska block to record 10 kills, her 49th career conference match with double-digit kills. She recorded five digs and added an assist in her final regular season game at Wilkinson Hall. Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum tallied seven kills while freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager provided seven as well.
Energy was at a high level from the jump for the Hoosiers. Senior middle blocker Madi Sell had five kills and an early solo block. IU held a 9-5 lead in the opening set before Nebraska went on a run to open a big lead. IU provided 31 digs from nine different players and had several hustle plays to get the crowd on its feet.
Nebraska pulled away late in set three after being tied at 17-all. Junior outside hitter Harper Murray led the match with 11 kills. Freshman opposite hitter Virginia Adriano recorded nine kills and six blocks. The Hoosiers hit .147 on the evening while Nebraska provided a .340 hitting efficiency.
IU finishes out the regular season next week with matches at Illinois (Nov. 25) and Purdue (Nov. 29). The Hoosiers are just one win from matching a single-season program record for victories. One more win would make Alonso-Corcelles the winningest player in program history. IU will await Selection Sunday (Nov. 30) to see if postseason volleyball will come to Wilkinson Hall.
