Texas takes set one 25-20.  Competitive, but Texas is super tough.

Nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.  The women had an outstanding season.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A long offseason comes to an end as the Indiana volleyball team (0-0, 0-0 B1G) gets set to begin the 2026 campaign on Friday (Aug. 28) evening in Louisville. The No. 16 Hoosiers are ranked in the preseason AVCA poll for the first time in program history and will meet a stiff test against seventh-ranked Louisville to start the new season.
 
Head coach Steve Aird and his squad are coming off a fantastic 2025 campaign but have quickly turned the page to this year's team. Since last December, IU has played 12 exhibition matches including six on a foreign tour to Türkiye, Spain and Portugal. The Hoosiers had 15 of its 17 players in the gym training since the beginning of January.
 
The core of IU's team in 2026 begins with second-year setter Teodora Krickovic and second-year outside hitter Jaidyn Jager. Both players were picked to this year's Big Ten All-Preseason team and are coming off seasons where they were honored on the conference's All-Freshman team. IU reloaded with a collection of new arms around its setter including fifth-year middle blocker Kiki Granberry and outside hitters Sara Snowbarger and Izzy Clark.
 
This is the earliest top-25 matchup that the team has played in program history and is the first of four-consecutive contests against ACC or SEC opponents to begin the year. In total, IU will play 22 of its 26 regular season matches against power four schools. First serve on Friday is set for 7 p.m. and can be found on ACCNX.

A Win Would
• Be the sixth top-10 victory in program history and the first against a non-conference opponent. The Hoosiers have knocked off five top-10 teams over the last 50 years, most recently in 2022 against No. 5 Ohio State. IU has never beaten the seventh-ranked team in the country on 13 previous attempts
