ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Big Ten Conference announced Monday the complete list of volleyball student-athletes scheduled to attend the third-annual Big Ten Volleyball Media Days. The two-day event from August 5-6 at Big Ten Network Studios will feature nine schools each day, represented by their coaches and two student-athletes each day.

August 5: Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers, Wisconsin

August 6: Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oregon, Purdue, UCLA, USC, Washington
 

Gophers picked to finish 5th in the Big. Nobody should be too concerned about that. The conference is loaded. A 5th place finish would put you in the top 15 nationally. Not bad for a team in transition under a new coach
 


ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Big Ten Conference announced its 2024 volleyball preseason honors and preseason poll on Thursday, ahead of the third-annual Volleyball Media Days on August 5-6 at Big Ten Network Studios in Chicago.

Nebraska, the reigning Big Ten Champion and National Runner-Up, received 13 first-place votes to secure the top spot in the preseason poll.

Eleven schools were represented among the 18 student-athletes receiving preseason recognition.

Three members of the preseason all-conference team were unanimous selections: Nebraska’s Merritt Beason and Lexi Rodriguez and Penn State’s Jess Mruzik. Rodriguez was named the 2023 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and Beason and Mruzik each earned unanimous First Team All-Conference recognition in 2023. The preseason team also features AVCA National Player of the Year and Big Ten Player of the Year, Sarah Franklin, Big Ten Setter of the Year, Bergen Reilly and Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Harper Murray.

The preseason all-conference team also features three players from three of the four institutions that will be playing their first season in the Big Ten. Oregon’s Mimi Colyer, UCLA’s Anna Dodson and USC’s Mia Tuaniga each earned preseason recognition.

The preseason poll and all-conference teams were voted on by the conference’s 18 head coaches. Six members of the preseason all-conference team are scheduled to attend Big Ten Volleyball Media Days next week.
