WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue volleyball squad is set to begin its spring season tomorrow, opening at home vs. Buter at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The season, which features three opportunities to catch the Boilermakers at Holloway Gymnasium, will run from March 26 through April 15. In addition to tomorrow's match, Purdue will host Miami (OH) and Loyola Chicago on Saturday, April 5 at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. ET, respectively. Admission is free for all home spring volleyball matches.
Purdue will also play a first-of-its-kind match on Saturday, April 12 at 2 p.m. ET when the team plays at the Fishers Event Center, home of the Indy Ignite pro team, against Vanderbilt. The matchup will precede the brawl between Indy Ignite and Grand Rapids Rise, which features Boilermakers: Raven Colvin (Grand Rapids Rise), Jena Otec (Grand Rapids), Grace Cleveland (Indy Ignite) and Blake Mohler (Indy Ignite). Fans looking to attend the collegiate showdown at Fishers Event Center will need to purchase a ticket to the Ignite vs. Rise match to gain admittance.
The spring schedule will serve as the fan's first look into a Boilermaker squad that features eight returners and seven newcomers, including two freshmen and five transfers. The squad returns 2024 Second Team All-Big Ten honoree Taylor Anderson, who not only ranked No. 8 in the nation in assists per set (11.25), but guided Purdue to its third-highest hitting % in single-season history (.280%). In addition to returning rising stars which include Kenna Wollard, Ryan McAleer and Grace Heaney, Shondell's incoming freshmen and transfer class set Purdue up to tie the tallest team in over 22 years, with an average front court height of 6'2".
