NORMAL — Carley Nicholson is 4-for-4 going to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament during her Illinois State career. What the senior setter/libero doesn't have yet is an NCAA tourney win.
The Redbirds (19-13) try to accomplish that Thursday. ISU takes on No. 6-seeded Purdue (23-6) at 6 p.m. (CT) at Holloway Gymnasium on the Boilermakers' campus in West Lafayette, Ind. The match will be streamed on ESPN+.
"I'm not satisfied unless we're winning," said Nicholson. "I don't think any game you walk into it's good to say I have nothing to lose, especially the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
