How to Watch No. 1 Nebraska Volleyball at No. 17 Indiana with Preview, Breakdown, Streaming

The Big Ten conference — typically the most dominant volleyball conference in the country year after year — once again belongs to the No. 1 Nebraska Volleyball team.

For the second time in the past three years, NU has taken down rival Iowa to lock up the conference title, with the 2025 version being a sweep of the Hawkeyes Thursday night at John Cook Arena as the Huskers clinched at least a share of the Big Ten Championship for the third straight season — a feat not accomplished since 2004-2008. It marks the 37th overall conference title for Nebraska and sixth in the Big Ten.

Andi Jackson hit .571 with 10 kills and three blocks while Harper Murray led NU with 11 kills as the Huskers celebrated their 350th consecutive regular-season sellout. Taylor Landfair surpassed 1,500 career kills as she tallied seven on the night with a .438 clip. Becoming the first team in the country to lock up an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament, Nebraska hits the road to face Indiana with a victory, securing the outright conference championship.

Here's all you need to know as the Huskers face the Hoosiers for the final road match of the regular season.

Outlook

Collecting its most wins since 2010, head coach Steve Aird and Indiana are enjoying one of the best seasons in program history as IU enters the weekend with a 21-5 record and a fourth-place standing in the Big Ten. Aside from a 21-12 season in 2023, Aird — who's in his eighth season in Bloomington — hasn't recorded a season with a record above .500. But consider this the breakout year, and maybe a trend, for a Hoosier program that's slowly been building up under the former Penn State and Russ Rose assistant.

Despite a strong nucleus of talent returning to IU, the Hoosiers suffered some major losses over the offseason, including the graduation of team leader and two-time All-Big Ten First Team setter Camryn Haworth, who averaged over 10 assists per set last season. Plus, you had starting outside hitter Mady Saris graduate and the high-profile transfer of libero Ramsey Gary to Texas after forming into one of the best littles in the country under Aird — highlighted by a 4.06 digs per set mark in 2024.

But just like how the recruiting class of 2023 was a program-changing moment for NU, the same could eventually be said for the 2025 freshman group for Indiana. Serbian freshman setter has improved on the numbers set by Haworth last season, dishing out 10.81 assists per set with over 20 aces as the team is hitting .289 this season. Victoria Gray leads the team in blocks with 89 and has recorded a .366 hitting percentage. Plus, Jaidyn Jager — a top 50 recruit for IU — has quickly become an elite attacker with 3.51 kills per set to rank second on the team. Throw in DS Audrey Jackson, who's also going to play outside hitter in the years to come, and this is a freshman class that could alter the direction of the Hoosiers.

What makes this team stronger is the returning cast that the freshmen have supported. Candela Alonso-Corcelles returned as the team's kill leader from 2024 and has done so again in 2025 with 323 (3.55 K/S) with 192 digs, 55 blocks, and 21 aces. Avry Tatum continues to terminate at opposite as a returning starter with 3.21 kills per set. Ella Boersema (second on team in blocks) and Madi Sell give IU two more experienced middles to complete a deep group.

This is not the Indiana of old, a program that Nebraska has swept 16 of their last 19 matchups. While this year's Husker squad may be too good, this is a dangerous Hoosiers team that will take advantage of any NU sloppiness. Give me Nebraska, but don't be shocked to see IU take a set, especially as they welcome in the Huskers to a rowdy Wilkinson Hall.
