[rainbowbadger]

The HotelRED Invitational continues today, when the Wisconsin Badgers take on the Colgate Raiders at noon in the Field House. Both teams are coming off of losses yesterday: Colgate to College of Charleston in 5, and Wisconsin to a scrappy Western Kentucky in 4. Which team will be able to shake off yesterday's initial loss and find redemption?

Wiswell, you'd found the Colgate match notes, right? Still got the link?

The match is actually scheduled for 12:30. It will be interesting to see how the Badgers react.

[badgerbreath]

It will interesting to see how they line up. That's what I will be watching.

Cheer up guys...still early in the season. That match didn't go that well, but that was a solid team and we've not had a lot of time together yet - certainly not in competitive situations. We have a long season to see this team progress, and I do believe it will. The ceiling is very high IMO.

Thanks for that. Bonney said noon last night. Can't update the thread title from my phone.

Try front page of volleyball left hand side.

[Wiswell]

Today's observation is Dildine writes left handed hits right. Like the opposite of Nadal inot tennis.

[rainbowbadger]

Tionna era the start at middle over Blake. A-Mac starting for Duello at opp.

[badgerbreath]

OK...start with a little trouble with the Colgate block. Tionna has to get comfortable. Very sloppy.

11-9 badgers

[badgerbreath]

Great kick save by Nelson...wasted though. Colgate doesn't have real terminators -- at least not obviously yet.

[badgerbreath]

There's a good set to Williams! Clobbers it.

[badgerbreath]

Williams starting to get confident.

[rainbowbadger]

Badgers take set 1 on a kill from Williams, 25-20.

I've watched colgate take 8 swings at the ball and every single attack was at Carlini...
Morey is taking the second ball with a bump..it's a bit sloppy, still working.

That was a very pretty slide williams.
