It's Wisconsin week for the No. 2 Huskers, who aim to kickstart a four-match road trip with its second win over the Badgers in their last three matchups.
For most years, this week is season-defining. When it’s not, it’s still one of the biggest weeks on the calendar while holding national implications.This time, however, the two college volleyball bluebloods will first battle inside the UW Fieldhouse, a house of horrors that the Huskers haven’t won in since 2013. Last season’s first clash of No. 1 versus No.
The biggest question centered on the setter position as head coach Kelly Sheffield said goodbye to his 6-2 offensive system with setters Izzy Ashburn and MJ Hammill each graduating. Much like their fellow Big Ten rivals, Wisconsin chose to rely on a true freshman to run the show in Charlie Fuerbringer, the No. 1-ranked setter in the country coming into Madison. She’s so far delivered amongst a strong, veteran lineup averaging 10.60 assists and 2.03 digs per set.
Freshman Lola Schumacher has seen the majority of her starts at libero while returning junior Gulce Guctekin sticks at defensive specialist. Schumacher leads the team with 3.68 digs per set while Booth leads the defensive with 75 blocks. The Badger block is always a force and that’s no different in 2024 with four players having 70 or more blocks. Aside from Booth, Robinson , Smrek and Crawford all reach those marks.
In July of 2023, it was reported that Davis was suspended in March 2021 for his role in the hazing of one of his players. On July 24, Davis was named in a lawsuit for the hazing allegations.
