WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue’s four-match spring schedule was announced by Art and Connie Euler women’s volleyball head coach Dave Shondell, a slate featuring a showdown vs. Indiana at the Fisher’s Event Center and two opportunities to watch the Boilermakers at their own Holloway Gymnasium.

The spring season will be the first opportunity for fans to see the team since freshmen defensive specialist MaryKate Schuemann, defensive specialist Elle Schara, outside hitter/opposite Sydni Vice and outside hitter sophomore transfer Lameen Mambu (previously at Georgia Tech) arrived in West Lafayette.
The Boilermakers return their program-record three 2025 All-Americans in second team honorees Taylor Anderson and Kenna Wollard and third team selection Grace Heaney in addition to All-Big Ten Second Team libero Ryan McAleer.
Purdue capped off the 2025 season with a Regional Final berth, a third-place Big Ten finish (27-7, 15-5 Big Ten record) and three All-America honorees –improvements in all areas from a season ago, despite preseason projections. Meanwhile, numerous program records were also set, including 10 wins against ranked opponents, five All-Big Ten honorees, three reverse sweeps and three NCAA tournament All-Region honorees, not to mention the second-highest hitting percentage in Purdue single-season history (.290).
