BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A spring battle on the Big Ten Network will pit the Indiana volleyball team against in-state rival Purdue on Sunday (April 19) afternoon. The two sides will meet in the spring for the first time since 2024 in a feature college showcase at the Fishers Event Center. Following the match, the Indy Ignite will play a contest against the Dallas Pulse.
Jack Kizer (PxP) and Camryn Irwin (Color) will have the on-site call of IU's second spring match of the semester. Last weekend in Bloomington, nearly 2,000 fans packed Wilkinson Hall to watch the Hoosiers to battle last year's national finalist – Kentucky. Even without star outside hitter Jaidyn Jager, IU competed well against the Wildcats. Middle blocker Ella Boersema shined in her return from injury.
This weekend's contest at the Fishers Event Center will be important as IU gets some valuable experience in a potential postseason venue. The Big Ten announced the addition of a conference tournament on Thursday (April 16) afternoon. The 15-team event will begin in the fall of 2026 and will be hosted at the Fishers Event Center. Sunday's match will begin at 2 p.m. on the Big Ten Network. It's the last exhibition open to the public this spring.
