After five games in 10 days across four different cities, the Hoosiers make the journey home for the Indiana Invitational tonight and tomorrow evening.\u00a0A grueling beginning to the season was intentional under ninth-year head coach Steve Aird to get his team accustomed to playing good teams in big environments. Nothing will change as his squad prepares to play a pair of NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago. Cal Poly (Thursday) and Eastern Illinois (Friday) will come to Bloomington for a round-robin event this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As IU continues to work out its offensive lineup, third-year Ella Boersema continues to shine in any position she&#8217;s asked to play. The Indiana native provided 21 kills on the right side in a win over No. 12 Texas A&amp;M and flipped back to the middle to score 16 kills in Monday&#8217;s victory over Southern Indiana. She&#8217;s second on the team with 3.26 kills per set and is hitting a team-best .357 on the year.\u00a0Team success on the offensive side of things continues to run through second-year setter Teodora Krickovic. She&#8217;s averaging 9.79 assists per set and 1.89 digs per set. In addition to that, she&#8217;s tapped in 17 kills including a season-best seven against No. 12 Texas A&amp;M. IU continues to bolster its hitting percentage after a tough start to the year.\u00a0Both of IU&#8217;s games this weekend will start at 7 p.m. Cal Poly will take the court against IU this evening while Eastern Illinois will wrap up the invitational on Friday Night The two opposing teams will play a neutral site game as well on Friday afternoon at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Win Would against Cal Poly would\u00a0be the second win of the year against a team that made last year&#8217;s regional semifinals. It would also improve IU to 34-9 in the last four years at Wilkinson Hall. A win against Eastern Illinois would be the 10th win in program history against Eastern Illinois and the second of the year against an OVC program. A win over both teams would put the Hoosiers at five wins during the early portion of the season and move then to 35-9 at Wilkinson Hall since 2023.  Indiana to play first two home games this year against Cal Poly and Eastern Illinois.  IU has finished .500 or better in each of the last four seasons &#8211; the program has won 80 games since 2022.  Since the beginning of 2023, the Hoosiers are 33-9 inside the friendly confines of Wilkinson Hall.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating back to 2023, the Hoosiers have won\u00a023-consecutive\u00a0matches against unranked opponents at Wilkinson Hall. That includes a run of\u00a0nine\u00a0non-conference teams in that same stretch. Wins over Cal Poly and Eastern Illinois would improve IU to\u00a035-9\u00a0at Wilkinson Hall since the 2023 season.  Third-year middle blocker\u00a0Ella Boersema\u00a0averaged\u00a03.44\u00a0kills per set in four games last week. That included\u00a021\u00a0kills as an opposite hitter against No. 12 Texas A&amp;M and\u00a016\u00a0as a middle blocker against Southern Indiana. She hit\u00a0.441\u00a0over that stretch of play for the Hoosiers. Second-year setter\u00a0Teodora Krickovic\u00a0has become a much bigger offensive threat during her second college campaign. Over the last two years, IU is\u00a04-0\u00a0when she records at least\u00a0five\u00a0kills in a match. That includes games against No. 12 Texas A&amp;M (7) and Southern Indiana (5) this season.<br><br>Between Cal Poly (13) and Indiana (4), there will be\u00a017\u00a0kids from the state of California involved in Thursday&#8217;s match in Bloomington. Both of each team&#8217;s leading scorers &#8211;\u00a0Jaidyn Jager, Indiana (3.42 kills per set) and Kendall Beshear, Cal Poly (3.44 kills per set) &#8211; are from the Golden State. In win over Southern Indiana, middle blockers\u00a0Ella Boersema\u00a0(16) and\u00a0Victoria Gray\u00a0(11) combined for\u00a027\u00a0kills. It was the first time that IU had a pair of middle blockers each reach double figures in the same match since 2023 (at Northwestern &#8211; Oct. 29, 2023, Rammelsberg &#8211; 15, Kjolhede &#8211; 10).<br><br>Third-year opposite hitter\u00a0Avery Daum\u00a0made her first start on the right side with\u00a0seven\u00a0kills and\u00a0four\u00a0blocks against Southern Indiana. She has been a fantastic practice player for the Hoosiers and finally got her chance to shine. All five primary attackers had at least\u00a0seven\u00a0kills in the win.  Second-year setter\u00a0Teodora Krickovic\u00a0is closing in on\u00a01,500\u00a0career assists during her time in Bloomington. She would only be the\u00a012th\u00a0setter in program history to hit that plateau. The Serbian has\u00a01,398\u00a0over the last two years and is averaging\u00a010.59\u00a0assists per set in her career.  Since the 2022 campaign (four-plus years), Indiana has racked up\u00a080\u00a0wins under head coach\u00a0Steve Aird. That includes at least\u00a015\u00a0wins in each full season during that stretch. IU will be looking to reach that plateau again for the\u00a0fifth-straight\u00a0year. <br><br>(RV) Cal Poly (3-2, 0-0 Big West)- After a fantastic season in 2025, Cal Poly&#8217;s expectations remain high this year. That&#8217;s reflected in a non-conference schedule that sees them play Texas A&amp;M, Indiana, Arizona State and Stanford. A veteran group is led by outside hitters Kendal Beshear (3.44 kills per set) and Emma Fredrick (3.22 kills per set).  Setter Alexis Haury is familiar with the Hoosiers, having been the starting setter for Washington in last year&#8217;s match at Wilkinson Hall. She averages 10.39 assists per set for an offense that hits .222 in the first two weeks of the year. The Mustangs offer up 2.06 blocks per set as well. Indiana and Cal Poly have never played in volleyball. However, the two schools did recently play in men&#8217;s soccer with the Hoosiers coming out on top. The last school from the Big West that IU played in volleyball was against Long Beach State in 2023.<br><br>Eastern Illinois (1-5, 0-0 OVC)-\u00a0The Panthers have embarked on a challenging schedule of their own. They have dropped five-straight games with defeats to Wright State, Dayton, BYU, Long Beach State and Wyoming. Head coach Ryan Millar is one of the best middle blockers to ever play for the U.S. Men&#8217;s National team. He was a three-time Olympian for the Americans.   Katie Kopshever, a veteran pin attacker from Indiana, is the team&#8217;s leading scorer with 3.52 kills per set. Five other players have between 11 and 37 kills this year. Setter Alanys Nieves took over the reins of the offense against Wyoming with 40 helpers. The Panthers have just 30 total blocks on the year. These two sides have played just twice since 1985 but played nearly every season before that. IU leads the all-time series 9-2 with a win in the most recent contest in 2011.  The first volleyball match in program history (1975) actually came against Eastern Illinois and resulted in a win for the Hoosiers. In 1981, the first year that women&#8217;s volleyball was an NCAA sanctioned sport, IU beat Eastern Illinois again<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Women&#8217;s Soccer Travels to Nebraska for the Big Ten Opener <\/strong>                                                                                                                                Indiana women&#8217;s soccer opens conference play on the road as they travel to Lincoln, Neb. to face Nebraska.

The move was widely expected after the&nbsp;Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia abruptly ended its financial support&nbsp;this year. The final event was last month in Indiana. Four vendors already have filed lawsuits because they have not been paid.  LIV said it has agreed to a restructuring plan with BC Partners as the primary source of its capital.  \u201cThis process gives us the structure and time to pursue a landmark transaction and begin the next chapter of LIV Golf,\u201d CEO Scott O\u2019Neil said in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O\u2019Neil has said \u201cLIV Golf 2.0\u201d would feature players as majority owners in a reduced schedule. In a letter to LIV Golf fans, O\u2019Neil said the new look would expand the size of the field from 57 to 75 players and introduce a 54-hole cut for the first time. There also would be Monday qualifiers.  He said the team concept would be built around nationalities and that LIV would continue to tap some of its more successful markets in&nbsp;Australia, South Africa and Asia.  Still, the new version would be a shell of what LIV promised when it launched in June 2022 after paying nine-figure signing bonuses to lure away top names from the PGA Tour. The excessive spending topped more than $5 billion before PIF said in April it was pulling the plug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still to be determined is the future of the biggest stars still with LIV, most notably Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. Rahm is playing the Irish Open this week and told BBC Northern Ireland: \u201cI still have a contract with LIV 1.0 that I\u2019m more than willing to fulfill. Like I said, time will tell.\u201d  Rahm, DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Cameron Smith were the leading four creditors listed in the filing. Of the top 30 creditors LIV listed, 14 were players.&nbsp;The filing&nbsp;listed only the \u201cunsecured claim\u201d \u2014 Rahm led the list at nearly $7.5 million \u2014 and not the full amount owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LIV listed between $100 million and $500 million in estimated assets, and $500 million and $1 billion in liabilities.  The state of Louisiana is listed among the largest creditors at $1,220,000.&nbsp;LIV Golf postponed its event in Louisiana&nbsp;shortly after PIF announced it was ending its support. The Michigan event also was canceled, with the team championship merged into the final event in Indiana.  Chapter 11 is commonly known as reorganization bankruptcy and generally allows the debtor to continue to operate the business, even borrowing new money under court approval.   LIV Golf said the PIF has agreed to provide $49.6 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing through the DIP credit agreement, subject to the court\u2019s approval.  BC Partners L.P. \u2014 the credit business of UK-based BC Partners \u2014 and other minority investors that might emerge would provide the exit financing as LIV tries to keep going. LIV said it intends to emerge from bankruptcy and start its new version as early as 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow it is time to enter the next phase of LIV Golf,\u201d O\u2019Neil said in his letter. \u201cToday, we took an important step forward to get there. LIV Golf has entered a court-supervised restructuring process that provides us with the time and framework to address previous financial obligations and complete a transaction that will make the League\u2019s next phase a reality.  \u201cPut simply, this process is designed to build a stronger and more sustainable future for LIV Golf.\u201d  But so much depends on who stays.  The PGA Tour has banned players for one year from their most recent LIV Golf appearance. Brooks Koepka was the first LIV player to return under penalty \u2014 a $5 million payment to charity, no equity grants for five years, no access to bonus money the year he returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp offered the same deal to Rahm, DeChambeau and Smith with a tight deadline to accept. None did, and three months later as the U.S.-Iran war took root, PIF pulled its funding and sent LIV Golf into a spiral. Rolapp has not been inclined to discuss any paths back while players are under contract.   O\u2019Neil said LIV Golf\u2019s intention was to \u201ccomplete, not compete,\u201d a phrase that rankled more stable tours because of the disruption LIV Golf created under former CEO Greg Norman who felt players should be able to compete on any tour, while be required to play a full schedule on LIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor University Women&#8217;s Golfer Eleanor Schuitema Ties for First to Open Fall Season<\/strong>                                                                                                                       A new-look lineup for the No. 20 Taylor women\u2019s golf team was led by a familiar face at the 54-hole Indiana Wesleyan Wildcat Invitational on Monday and Tuesday, as Eleanor Schuitema tied for first to pace the Trojans.

The Trojans took the lead into Tuesday\u2019s final round, before No. 19 Indiana Wesleyan overtook them for the title.  Tayor played well throughout, shooting team scores of 290, 289 and 293 over the 54-hole tournament. Despite ending 10 shots back of the title, the unranked Trojans finished 13 strokes up on No. 11 Marian in the team standings and took second-of-nine.   Freshman Hayden Fox led five Trojans in the top-15, taking fifth with a score of 215 and rounds of 75, 69 and 71. Porter Dick and Aaron Fulda followed in seventh and 10th with scores of 216 and 218. Dick and Fulda each carded their best scores in the first round, with sub-par totals of 70 and 71. Davis Formsma and Tanner Conklin rounded out TU\u2019s top-five in a tie for 14th at 220.  Taylor will look to build on the strong opening when it continues its fall season on September 14 and 15 at the Pikeville Collegiate in Prestonburg, Kentucky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University Women&#8217;s Volleyball Hosts the Indiana Invitational For the first time in the regular season, fans will get the chance to watch the 21st-ranked Indiana volleyball team (3-2, 0-0 B1G) at Wilkinson Hall.
