Purdue Volleyball Sets Big Ten Attendance Record

Purdue Volleyball set a Big Ten attendance record with 14,876 fans at Mackey Arena, witnessing the Boilermakers sweep Indiana 3-0 and reclaim the Monon Spike. This match not only marked the largest crowd for a Big Ten volleyball matchup, surpassing the previous record set in 2004, but also showcased Purdue's dominance, as they limited Indiana to a mere .061 hitting percentage. Standout performances included Eva Hudson's 17 kills and Chloe Chicoine's 12 kills, contributing to a match where Purdue hit .333 overall and recorded nine service aces. The victory improved Purdue's season record to 15-4 and 6-2 in the conference, continuing their strong run against the Hoosiers, now winning 20 of the last 22 encounters. Coach Dave Shondell expressed gratitude for the fan support, referring to the night as 'magic in Mackey'. Purdue's next match against Wisconsin is also sold out, promising to maintain the excitement.
