The Rutgers women’s volleyball team made first year head coach Caitlin Schweihofer’s debut match at home a memorable one on Friday. The Scarlet Knights defeated Indiana for the first time in 12 meetings since joining the Big Ten, delivering a 3-1 victory (18-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-20) at the College Ave. Gym to move to 1-2 on the season. Last week, Rutgers opened the 2020-2021 campaign with back to back straight set defeats at Northwestern.
Schweihofer inherited a program that was just 3-117 in its first six seasons as a member of the Big Ten. She was hired last January but had to wait a few months longer than usual to begin her debut season on the banks due to COVID-19.
