BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Fans will get their first taste of the 2025 roster when the Indiana volleyball team hosts its annual Cream and Crimson Scrimmage on Saturday, August 23rd at 2 p.m. in Wilkinson Hall. The event is open to the public with no tickets required to enter.
After graduating a large senior class in 2024, eighth-year head coach Steve Aird and is staff reset the roster with a fresh crop of prep products. IU's seven-member freshman class was ranked No. 14 in the country by Prep Dig, making it the highest-ranked recruiting class in school history.
Led by consensus top-55 recruits and outside hitters Charlotte Vinson (Yorktown, Ind.) and Jaidyn Jager (Carlsbad, Calif.), IU was able to reload at every position group. Rounding out the newcomers is UCLA beach volleyball grad student Jessica Smith. She heads to Bloomington after a successful career in the sand with a track record of being a respected leader and an incredible passer.
The Hoosiers will play two sets to 25 points and one to 15 on Saturday (Aug. 23). It will serve as the final team scrimmage of IU's fall camp ahead of the regular season opener in Coral Gables (Aug. 29) against Miami (Fla.). Fans will be treated to a live DJ, free giveaways and an autograph session after the match is concluded.
IU will make its regular season debut in Wilkinson Hall on Thursday (Sept. 4) against SEMO. Fans can purchase single game tickets HERE.
