17 Blocks Power #13 Purdue to Victory

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The No. 13 Purdue women's volleyball team (18-7, 11-5 B1G) racked up a season-high 17 blocks as the Boilermakers dispatched Michigan (16-11, 7-9 B1G), 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-16, 25-15).

The Boilermakers limited the Wolverines, one of the most efficient teams in the nation (No. 16 in the nation in hitting % and No. 13 in kills/set), to a season-low .075% while hitting .230. Purdue's defensive effort was stellar in the match, with the team's 17 blocks not only a season-high and the most since October 31, 2025 at Michigan State, but ties as the second-most blocks put up by the Boilermakers in the last four seasons.

Kate Hansen set a season-high eight blocks, including two solo, while going .357 on the attack with just one error on six kills and 14 attacks.

Addy Tindall led all players on the court for the 12th time this season, racking up 12 kills and a career-high-tying five block assists and a career-high four digs.

Taylor Anderson totaled 35 assists, six kills, five blocks and two blocks in the match, dishing out the match's best hitting % in the final set (.344%).

Ryan McAleer led the team with 12 digs and notched her 50th career ace in the opening set.
