Hunter and Mead were named to the Indiana All-Tournament team. Hunter averaged 4.09 kills per set (45k, 14e, 100ta) and Mead averaged 4.00 kills per set (44k, 13e, 85ta) throughout the tourney.
The exhibition takes place in the midst of six matches in seven days for the Yellow Jackets. Following the mid-week scrimmage Tech will head south to Gainesville, Fla. to compete in three matches at the Florida Active Ankle Challenge, Sept. 7-8.
