Purdue's volleyball team has been recognized in the preseason All-Big Ten selections, with three standout All-Americans: setter Taylor Anderson, opposite Grace Heaney, and outside hitter Kenna Wollard. This trio makes Purdue the school with the most All-Big Ten honorees this year. Additionally, the team is projected to finish fourth in the Big Ten standings, following a record-setting previous season. As preseason training kicks off, the Boilermakers prepare for a competitive non-conference schedule that includes matches against several top-ranked teams.

By the Numbers
  • Purdue ranked 4th in the Big Ten preseason poll.
  • Wollard recorded 577 kills in the 2025 season, the highest by a Boilermaker in 14 years.
State of Play
  • Purdue returned five starters from the previous season.
  • Preseason training has commenced as the season opener against Creighton approaches on August 28.
What's Next

Purdue will host ticketed exhibition matches against Ball State and Butler before the season opener. Home matches and the Big Ten tournament tickets will go on sale in early August, offering fans a chance to engage with the upcoming season.

Bottom Line

Purdue volleyball is positioned for a promising season, bolstered by top talent and a commitment to building on last year's success. As they face a challenging schedule, maintaining momentum from their strong performance will be crucial for their aspirations in the Big Ten.
