The IU volleyball team’s annual Cream & Crimson Day will be held Saturday, August 19 at University Gym.
Admission to the event is free and doors will open to the public at 3 p.m.
The main event of the night will be the annual Cream & Crimson Scrimmage followed by a meet and greet with the Hoosiers. This year will also feature former players in the first ever alumni match.
The alumni match will start the day’s events at 3:30, shortly after the doors open. After the alumni match, the current IU players will participate in a team scrimmage consisting of three sets to 25 points.
The players and coaches will be available for autographs and pictures following the scrimmage at 7:30 for the meet and greet.
Tickets are now on sale for the 2017 season, which will begin with the Indiana Invitational on August 25. IU will play Ball State at 7:00 p.m. The Hoosiers will then play two games the next day against Depaul and Indiana State to conclude the invitational.
IU finished last year with a 17-16 overall record. The Hoosiers struggled in conference play, going 6-14 in those games, but were able to pick up marquee victories against No. 13 Michigan and No. 22 Ohio State.
