INDIANAPOLIS — Riding the momentum of a reverse sweep comeback, IU Indy volleyball returns to James T. Morris Arena on Thursday, Oct. 29, to host Northern Kentucky at 7:00 PM. The Horizon League match will stream on ESPN+.
The Jaguars (10-13, 5-5 Horizon League) snapped a three-match skid Saturday with a 3-2 reverse-sweep victory at Green Bay. After dropping the first two sets, IU Indy took the next three, closing out the win 15-10 in the fifth. Freshman Bailey Sinish led the charge with 21 kills, while sophomore Jillian Tippmann added 18. Senior setter Grace Purichia recorded 52 assists and 13 digs, and sophomore libero Laura Roeder finished with 30 digs.
Northern Kentucky enters at 13-8 overall and 8-2 in league play. The Norse are coming off back-to-back five-set losses, most recently a 3-2 home defeat to Robert Morris. In that match, Katie Noschang recorded a team-high 11 blocks, while Ivey Stocks led NKU with 14 kills.
Thursday's match is the first of two meetings between the teams this season; IU Indy will travel to Highland Heights, Kentucky, on Nov. 10 for the rematch.
