EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State volleyball looked to complete another reverse sweep on Friday afternoon but came up short losing to Indiana by a final score of 3-1 (25-22, 25-13, 21-25, 25-10) at the Breslin Center.
“We had a couple of rotations today where we couldn’t score points and it came down to execution,” said Michigan State head volleyball coach Leah Johnson. “Hopefully there is more of a nothing to lose mentality tomorrow night against Purdue.

Michigan State moves to 17-13 overall and 9-10 overall in B1G action, while Indiana improves to 20-12 overall and 10-9 in conference play.
