For the Second Annual Big Ten Volleyball Media Days on August 1 in Chicago, Indiana volleyball's senior outside hitter Grae Gosnell and junior setter Camryn Haworth will represent the program, per an IU Athletics release Friday. Two athletes per team, along with their head coaches, will speak to media outlets across the two days at the Big Ten Network Studios.
In the 2022 season, Haworth was the first Indiana volleyball player to receive All-Big Ten First Team honors since Ashley Benson in 2010. Haworth achieved the program's first triple-double since 2001 against Northwestern in November, recording 37 assists, 11 digs and 10 kills.
Gosnell, the team's Big Ten Sportsmanship honoree, played in 29 matches last season, tallying a career-high 16 digs in the road victory over No. 5 Ohio State. Last season, the Hoosiers defeated two ranked teams on the road for the first time in program history.
This past year, The Big Ten was the first conference to host an in-person preseason volleyball event, followed by the conference’s most televised matches in the 2022 season, per release. Chosen student-athletes and coaches from the conference's 14 programs attending the media days will gather for an exclusive dinner and reception August 1, per Friday’s release.
Indiana's season-opener will be at 7 p.m. EST August 25 in Bloomington versus the University of New Hampshire in the Indiana Invitational. The two teams last met in 2014.
