Big Ten Release

Minnesota will send Lydia Grote and Mckenna Wucherer

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Big Ten Conference will continue to raise the bar as the premier volleyball conference in the country when it plays host to the third annual Big Ten Volleyball Media Days August 5-6, 2024, at Big Ten Network studios in Chicago. In 2022, the Big Ten became the first collegiate conference to host an in-person preseason volleyball media event, providing yet another example of the Big Ten's commitment to elevating women's sports.

2023 Second Team All-Big Ten selection Lydia Grote (Redshirt Senior; Opposite) and AVCA All-North Region honoree Mckenna Wucherer (Junior; Outside) will represent the Golden Gophers alongside second-year head coach Keegan Cook.

Nine Big Ten Conference volleyball programs will arrive at the Big Ten Network on Monday, Aug. 5 for a series of interview sessions and other creative content opportunities to preview the 2024 volleyball season. The remaining nine Big Ten Conference programs will go through a similar schedule at Big Ten Network on Tuesday, Aug. 6. The conference, previously 14 teams, added former Pac-12 schools Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington in 2024.

Along with their media schedules, student-athletes and coaches from all 18 Big Ten Conference volleyball programs will gather on the evening of Monday, Aug. 5, for an exclusive dinner and reception, celebrating the success and future promise of Big Ten volleyball.
