Wisconsin 3, Stanford 1

Regional Semifinal – Austin, Texas

The Badgers defeated 2-seed Stanford (25-17, 21-25, 25-23, 25-22) behind another prolific performance on the offensive end—hitting .420 (70 – 15 – 131) by the conclusion of the four-set match. 

The Badgers (27-4) were clicking on all cylinders in the first frame, as UW exploded for a .514 swinging percentage to jump out to a hot start in the first frame. 

With the match in the balance in the fourth set, Colyer racked up her 2,000th kill of her career —accumulating a match-high 27 at Gregory Gym. The senior earned her final three in the late stages of set four, pushing Wisconsin to the Regional Finals. 

Offensively, Booth tied a career-best with 14 kills, last doing so in the Regional Semifinal last season against Texas A&M. The Denver, Colorado, native swung .700 (14 – 0 – 20) against the Cardinal, as she finished errorless for the fourth-straight match. 

Middle blocker Alicia Andrew joined her in the process, racking up seven kills on nine attempts without an attack error. 

Setter Charlie Fuerbringer was the centerpiece throughout the entirety of the match, tallying a career-high 61 assists to guide the Badgers to their highest hitting percentage in a four-set match in program history.
