BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A great all-around effort saw the Indiana volleyball team (5-2, 0-0 B1G) make quick work of Eastern Illinois (1-7, 0-0 OVC) to close out the weekend's action at Wilkinson Hall. The Hoosiers hit .391 in a straight-set victory (25-16, 25-18, 25-13) on Friday (Sept. 11) evening in the final game of the Indiana Invitational. It extended IU's home winning streak against unranked opponents to 25-straight games.

Second-year setter Teodora Krickovic guided the Hoosiers to a balanced offensive effort in the win. All five primary attackers had at least six kills, led by 14 (.429 hitting percentage) from second-year outside hitter Jaidyn Jager. Third-year opposite hitter Ella Boersema had eight kills and just one attacking error. IU's .391 team hitting percentage is the highest in a single match since a win over Rutgers (.455 – Nov. 20, 2025) last year.

For the second-straight night, IU scored its points in multiple fashions. 63 of its 75 points were earned by the team itself. The Hoosiers had 46 kills and added eight aces and nine total blocks. Six different players had at least one ace with Jager and fifth-year middle blocker Kiki Granberry each tallying two. Boersema and Granberry both had a hand in a team-high five blocks.

IU starts the year at least 5-2 for the third-consecutive season after Friday's victory. Three of those wins (Texas A&M, Cal Poly and Eastern Illinois) are against programs that made the NCAA Tournament last season. A full weekend off will get the team rested before heading to play Coastal Carolina next Friday (Sept. 18) in Conway, S.C.

How it Happened
• Even with some hiccups, IU's offensive performance was as efficient as you could ask for. All five primary attackers went for at least six kills. Second-year setter Teodora Krickovic called her own number on four occasions as the Hoosiers put up 46 total kills.

• Fifth-year middle blocker Kiki Granberry has provided incredible reinforcement at the net this season. She led the way in blocks (5.0) again and helped IU to 3.00 blocks per set (9.0 total) in the victory. That paired with eight aces as IU's serving pressure kept Eastern Illinois out of sorts all night.

Notes to Know
• IU went the entire match without a reception error. It's the first time that the team hasn't been aced in a contest since Sept. 29, 2023 (vs. Iowa). On the other side of things from the end line, IU provided eight aces from six different players. It's the fourth time in the last five matches with eight-plus aces.

• Second-year setter Teodora Krickovic set the team to a season-best .391 hitting percentage (46-10-92). In her two seasons as the starting setter, it's the 10th time that IU has hit .375 or better in a match. It's the sixth time in that stretch the program has hit at a .390 clip or above.

• Second-year outside hitter Jaidyn Jager had 14 kills on a .400+ hitting percentage for the second night in a row. In total, it's the sixth-consecutive time she's been in double digits – matching a career-high streak. She's had double-digit kills on 29 occasions during her brief collegiate career.

• Wilkinson Hall has been a safe space for the IU program over the last five year. The win over Eastern Illinois was the 25th-consecutive win over an unranked opponent on the home floor. Since the beginning of the 2022 campaign, IU is 42-15 (.737 winning percentage) at Wilkinson Hall.
