ANN ARBOR, Mich. – An efficient night for the No. 13 Purdue volleyball squad, which included a .348 team hitting %, led to a sweep at Michigan, 3-0 (25-18, 25-22, 25-17).
No Boilermaker recorded more than two errors as Purdue earned its seventh .300 attack % or better this season. The effort was led by Eva Hudson's 14 kills and .324 attack % and a career-high-tying .455 clip by Chloe Chicoine (11-1-22).
Hudson's next kill will mark her 1,000th and the sophomore will become the fastest Boilermaker in the rally-scoring era to reach the milestone.
Freshman setter Taylor Anderson dished out 33 assists while libero Maddie Schermerhorn secured a team-leading 17 digs.
Purdue (20-8, 14-5 Big Ten) closes out the regular-season tomorrow night at Michigan State (17-13, 9-10 Big Ten). The match is slated to begin at 6 p.m. on B1G+. Then, the Boilermakers will find out their postseason fate in Sunday's Selection Show, scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on ESPN.
