The Maize and Blue will be back on the network one week later with a home match against 2011 national runner-up Illinois at 8 p.m. Michigan's final appearance on BTN will take place on Friday, Oct. 26 at Purdue with an 8 p.m. EDT start.

Since the Big Ten Network's inception in 2007, Michigan volleyball has been shown 21 times on the channel, including the three matches this season.

The Big Ten Network streaming and Student U volleyball schedule will be released at a later date.
