Feeling Elite: Badgers battle in Regional Finals for eighth-straight season

Published

on


AUSTIN, Texas – For the eighth consecutive season, the No. 3 Wisconsin volleyball team will compete in the Regional Final, this time against No. 1 Texas from the Lone Star State on Sunday, Dec. 14. First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. CT at Gregory Gymnasium and the match will be televised on ESPN. 

The Badgers (27-4) are fresh off of one of their most complete performances of the season—turning in a four-set victory over No. 2 Stanford (25-17, 21-25, 25-23, 25-22) in the Regional Semifinals on Friday afternoon to earn their first top-10 win of the year. 

Offensively, UW put together their top showing in program history in a Regional Semifinal match, swinging .420 against the Cardinal. Outside hitter Mimi Colyer led the way with 27 kills, eclipsing the 2,000-kill mark in her career. The senior also broke the school record for most kills in a season —surpassing Badger great Sarah Franklin’s 535 from last season. Colyer enters Sunday’s match with 543 kills on the year. 

Setter Charlie Fuerbringer distributed the wealth at a high rate once again, recording a career-best 61 assists on Friday. The Hermosa Beach, California, native averaged 15.25 assists per set against Stanford, as the Badgers improved their record to 10-0 since she made her return from injury. 

From the front row, middle blockers Carter Booth and Alicia Andrew continued to excel, each finishing errorless versus the Cardinal. Booth impressed by tying a career-best 14 kills, as she last did so in the Regional Semifinal last season versus Texas A&M. The senior did so while hitting .700. Andrew was more of the same, going 7-of-9 for UW. 

Outside hitter Una Vajagic rounded out the numerous standouts from Friday’s battle, racking up her 10th double-double of the season behind a 13-kill, 11-dig performance—hitting .444 (13 – 1 – 27). 

The Badgers will take on Texas for the second time this season, as the Longhorns (26-3) earned a sweep of UW at the Opening Spike Classic at the Kohl Center on Aug. 31. Right side Grace Egan led the way with 16 kills for Wisconsin, as the redshirt sophomore notched the final kill in both the third and the fourth set against Stanford on Friday. The Longhorns hold a 6-4 record all-time over the Badgers.

Sunday’s match will also mark the first time Wisconsin and Texas have battled in the postseason since the 2023 season in Tampa, Florida, in the NCAA National Championship Semifinal match. 

“We are certainly looking forward to the challenge,” head coach Kelly Sheffield said. “I think our team has grown, and as the season has gone on, I think we’re playing with confidence and you need that confidence to be able to go in and do what we’re hoping to be able to do.” 

UW will look to punch their ticket to the NCAA Championship for the sixth time in program history and for the second time in the past three seasons.

Creighton volleyball falls in Elite Eight match, finishes season 28-6

Published

on


Creighton volleyball fell Saturday in three sets against the Kentucky Wildcats in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Volleyball tournament.

The Wildcats owned all three sets, winning with scores of 25-19, 25-13 and 25-18.

Kentucky’s ruthless offense kept the Bluejays on the defense as the game churned into the third set. Following the second set, Kentucky’s coach Craig Skinner told the ESPN2 crew that he was relying on his team’s “big dogs to get it done.”

“Serving pressure was a big factor,” Skinner said heading into the locker room. “Reinhardt hasn’t been able to get involved as much. To keep them away from the net, to limit the number of options is huge.”

Creighton coach Brian Rosen, who’s leading the Creighton team through the NCAA tournament for his first time, said he told his team they needed to change their mindset heading into the third set.

“We’ve got to clean some things up,” Rosen told the ESPN2 crew. “We’re not putting any points on our serves right now, so we got to push it.”

Several long rallies in the third set felt like a comeback for the Bluejays, but the team came up just short. Creighton was attempting to make program history by punching its the ticket to the Final Four but fell just short against Kentucky.

The season-ending loss capped another impressive season for the Bluejays, which included the program’s sixth-straight Big East title.

Senior players, Ava Martin and Kiara Reinhardt, will continue their volleyball careers when they trade their college jerseys for professional ones in the Major League Volleyball. In November. Martin was drafted second-overall to the Atlanta Vibe. Reinhardt was eighth-overall pick by the Omaha Supernovas. The two first-round picks made league history. Creighton was the first school to have two selections in the first round of the same draft.

The Bluejays finished the season 28-6.

The Nebraska volleyball team will look to continue its undefeated season Sunday against Texas A&M. The match will be broadcast at 2 p.m. CT on ABC. If the Huskers move on, they’ll play Thursday.

The NCAA Championship will be Sunday, Dec. 21 at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.
