Indiana volleyball kicked off their 2026 season as a top 20 team in the country. Yesterday showed there is still a lot to prove… #IUVB @TheHoosierNet

#IUVB has one of the toughest volleyball schedules in the nation this year, and next week's games against Georgia and Texas A&M make it all the more important that the #Hoosiers finish strong tonight. Can't afford to fall behind early in the season...

Break time here in Louisville. #IUVB trails #7 Louisville 2-0. Junior Ella Boersema and sophomore Jaidyn Jager have led the Hoosiers so far, with Boersema posting seven kills and Jager posting six. Meester and Chicoine have eight apiece for the #Cardinals.

Set 2 won by the #Cardinals

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Long rally won by #Louisville. #IUVB down 22-11 late in set 2

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Two quick points by #IUVB. Down 18-11

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Big challenge here by #Hoosiers head coach Steve Aird. Looked like Indiana got all ball on the dig #IUVB

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Net violations and service errors by the #Hoosiers extend the #Louisville lead in the second set to 15-9. #Cardinals side out after the break #IUVB #Big10 #ACC

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

#Hoosiers started better, but once again let Louisville break away. #Cardinals up 12-7 after a 6-1 run led by Hannah Sherman and Kalyssa Blackshear. Sophomores Victoria Gray and Jaidyn Jager have stepped up this set for #IUVB, going to need more of it to get back in the game.

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Louisville #Cardinals take the first set 25-20 on a Chloe Chicoine kill. #Hoosiers battled back, but it was ultimately too big of a deficit. Hoosiers need to find a way to stop Chloe Meester and the Cardinal attack. Currently way too easy #IUVB

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Ella Boersema is taking over for the #Hoosiers. Multiple blocks out of the break have brought IU closer. 22-18 when we return. Sideout for #IUVB.

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

21-15 #Cardinals as the #Hoosiers take a timeout. IU has looked better since the first break, but it's going to take a big time stand to swing the first set in their favor. Boersema and Jager are dominating for the Hoosiers, but they have no answer for Louisville's Meester. #IUVB

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Chicoine stops the #IU momentum. 18-13 Cardinals #IUVB

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

15-9 Cardinals. Boersema is keeping the Hoosiers afloat with multiple kills. Louisville's Chloe Chicoine and Meester continue to lead the charge. Side out Louisville when we return.

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

10-4 Cardinals at the first break. It's the Chloe Meester show for Louisville. Two aces and a plethora of points. Ella Boersema and Kiki Granberry off to strong starts for the Hoosiers. Need to match Louisville's energy soon or this first set may get out of hand #IUVB #Hoosiers

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

8-4 Louisville early. Sideout Cardinals #IUVB

[Shane O’Hanley @ShaneOhanley]

Stoked for a new season of #IUVB. Coverage coming to you live from Louisville at the top of the hour as the #16 ranked Hoosiers battled the #7 ranked Cardinals in the season opener #hoosiers #IU @TheHoosierNet
