You can’t hold this team down.
It’s nearly impossible not to fall in love with the Purdue volleyball team. They are so fun to watch, they play with incredibly athleticism, joy, and sheer and terrifying power. Well, it also helps that they are winners. This week they grabbed another player of the week honor and moved up in the rankings to #7.

You can see there that Purdue ranked number one in the league, the Big is truly a volleyball gauntlet, in blocks/set and opponent’s hitting percentage. To be at the top of the Big in volleyball is an awesome feat.
Thanks to the stellar play of Anderson and the rest of the squad, Purdue rose by one spot in the latest rankings where they now sit at 7th.

Purdue now sits at 6-0 on the season and will next be in action Friday against Houston in Dallas. Yep, I had to double check that too.
