BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Junior middle blocker Madi Sell finished out her first full season at Indiana by being named the June Female Scholar Student Athlete of the Month. The award is designed to honor student athletes at IU who embody strong academic and athletic performance.
Sell joined the IU program as a transfer from Missouri during the spring semester in 2024. She started 28 of 30 matches for the Hoosiers during the 2024 campaign and led the team with 94 blocks (0.92 per set). She added 119 kills (1.17 per set) as a veteran presence in the middle.
Known for her fiery passion on the court, Sell shined in the biggest moments. She provided seven kills and seven blocks against Penn State – the eventual National Champions. Against in-state rival Purdue, she had seven kills (zero errors) and three solo blocks.
The Ballwin, Missouri native has been equally impressive in the classroom. She had to retake a handful of classes due to transferring credits but took a proactive approach to ensure she met all requirements for her major. Sell aspires to be an Anesthesiologist Assistant and is set to graduate in the spring of 2026.
Sell is back home for the first weeks of summer but will return to campus with her fellow teammates in June. She is one of four returning starters on next year's roster and helps to make up a four-person senior class for head coach Steve Aird and the Hoosiers.
