The future is bright. ☀️ Freshman Lily Bosworth came off the bench, posting an errorless six kills on 10 attacks with four blocks over the final three sets at #13 Penn State.

A legacy that keeps growing in West Lafayette 🤩 Since taking over as @PurdueVB's HC in 2003, Dave Shondell has led the Boilermakers to consistent national rankings and deep @NCAAVolleyball Tournament runs. On Sept. 1, 2026, he earned win No. 513 to become @PurdueSports' all-time winningest HC, surpassing @BoilerBall legend Gene Keady 👏 At the Net Presented x @PurdueVB

Dior Charles put the 🔨⬇️ last week, leading the league in hitting % (.667) while ranking #3 in blocks per set (1.88). The ONLY player in the league to rank among the top-8 in BOTH categories last week. 🔥

Well-balanced Boilers. 🔥🔥🔥 For the fourth time in over 235 matches (since before 2019), Purdue's stat sheet includes four players with 10+ kills AND four players with 10+ digs. 🤯

Two top-25 ranked teams will meet at 6 PM today at Holloway Gym. Illinois & @PurdueVB have battled back & forth in volleyball since the early 1970’s. It’s a tremendous rivalry that promises great competition. With Fall Break, we need our true & faithful fans to show-up big-time!
