At full strength, Indiana volleyball would have four middle blockers. However, the current roster is down to just two.
Junior middle blocker Ava Vickers has been dealing with an offseason surgery that has sidelined her all season with the exception of two matches. Sophomore middle blocker Ella Boersema went down with a leg injury in the Hoosiers’ loss to Purdue on Oct. 16.

Big win for the Gophers over a ranked team on the opponents home court. Many players had big games. A hiccup in the third set after two tough sets. But, they regrouped to closed out the match.

Gophers have a lot of matches coming up against ranked teams and starting Sunday. Go Gophers.

My favorite thing about tonight's match, other than the win, was that the players looked like they were having fun. Lots of smiles, even in the 3rd set.

The team is finally showing signs of life after all the changes due to injuries. Hats off to the Coaches and the players for making successful adjustments.
