BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Big Ten season will reach the halfway point this weekend as teams across the conference prepare for the fifth week of conference play. IU will spend its first full week at Wilkinson Hall since the early portion of September as it welcomes Minnesota and Northwestern for important home matchups.
 
IU returned to winning ways on Sunday (Oct. 19) afternoon with a four-set victory over Ohio State. It was the sixth Big Ten win of the season and 15th overall. The win helped the program match its season win total (15) from a year ago with 12 matches to spare. Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum passed 1,000 career kills in the victory.
 
Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager continues to play at an elite, all-around level during her first year of college volleyball. She's leading the team with 217 kills and is tops among all Big Ten freshmen in the category. On top of her elite offensive performance, Jager is providing 2.14 digs per set and 0.57 blocks per set.
 
The Hoosiers will meet Minnesota on Friday (Oct. 24) evening in the first top-25 showdown in Wilkinson Hall history. It is alumni weekend in Bloomington with former players set to return home to cheer on the home team for contests on Friday and Sunday (vs. Northwestern).
 
If IU can win at least one contest this weekend, it will give the team its best 10-game start to conference play in program history. The Hoosiers began 6-4 in Big Ten play in 1985 and 2023 and have already reached six wins with two games to go before the halfway point. Over the last three seasons, IU is 26-7 inside Wilkinson Hall.
 
Friday's match with Minnesota will start at 6 p.m. with a national broadcast on the Big Ten Network. Jack Kizer and Mac Podraza will have the call. Sunday's contest with Northwestern is scheduled for 1 p.m. on B1G+ from Wilkinson Hall. Sunday's game is IU's "Dig Pink" contest.
