BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It will be a busy summer for Indiana setter Teodora Krickovic. The rising sophomore is primed to help guide her native Serbia through the CEV U22 European Volleyball Championships at the beginning of July in the Netherlands. She makes her return to international competition after missing last summer's U21 FIVB World Championships through a finger injury.
This is the third edition of the continental tournament at the U22 level. The CEV, Europe's governing volleyball body, added the age group as a stepping stone between youth and senior teams. Serbia is paired in a group with Portugal (July 7), Italy (July 8) and Poland (July 9). The top two teams in each group will advance to the semifinals. Serbia was the runner-up to Italy at the 2024 edition.
Krickovic is coming off an All-American campaign during her debut collegiate season. She averaged 10.73 assists per set and led the Hoosiers to a single-season program record with a .281 hitting percentage. The young setter added 54 kills, 201 digs, 50 blocks and 38 aces as she helped IU advance to the NCAA regional semifinals for the first time in 15 years.
She will return to campus in August to join the rest of IU's 2026 roster. After rolling through its foreign tour, IU is set to open the new campaign with a trip to national powerhouse Louisville on August 28th. An exhibition against Notre Dame (August 14) will be the first official look at this year's team.
