With Sheffield showing a willingness to try different lineups already this season, could you see him giving Civita a start at libero this weekend? It would be interesting to see but I actually think this is unlikely. They will be careful with Civita for a bit. I think the job is Barnes's unless she plays herself out of it. That won't happen overnight.

Sheff pregame:
Sounds like Deahna and Jade will get more playing time this weekend. They've been doing consistently well in practice. Molly struggled with passing, but she was being targeted by two of the best servers in the conference. But she didn't let that affect the rest of her game On Sat, everyone has a portion of their game that wasn't great, but they didn't let that affect their entire game. He liked that. New coach for Rutgers get them to compete. They have players who have a season to settle. They should have some confidence.

Bummer. She's been our most consistent server so far. I wonder who comes in. AnnaMac?

They beat Maryland in 2015 and Northwestern in 2019. This is a cruel thread and should be taken down. You are making of and disparaging these Rutgers players,They have no chance against Wisconsin or Nebraska 1. I made a mistake - I misread their press release after the Indiana win. It describes it as their "first Big Ten victory over Indiana," by which they meant, "The first time they've beaten Indiana while in the Big Ten," but which I misread as "their first Big Ten victory, which happened to be over Indiana." @madden54 called that out to me, and I have already corrected the error. 2. I do match threads for every Wisconsin match (except when Wiswell beats me to it). I'm not gonna NOT do a match thread just because the odds strongly favor Wisconsin this week. Do you want me to do a match thread for every Rutgers match, too? I don't have that much spare time. 3. I apologize if my post gave the impression of mocking or disparagement. I admire these players. No way could I do what they do. Also, it takes a true love of the game to go play for a an under-resourced team, where you're likely to lose more than you win. Many of them moved halfway across the world to get an education and keep playing their sport, and likely haven't seen their family in a very long time. I tip my cheesehead hat to them. Some people are so eff-ing quick to make a judgment and jump to a conclusion. I appreciate you pulling this together, so thank you. (Just don’t EVER make another mistake ever again lol ) And to be perfectly clear - I’m joking about making a mistake

A couple of almost freakishly weird points at the outset.

4-0 Rutgers. Two really lucky points in that series to start - one on an overpass and one on a desperate tip on a wayward dig that dribbles over the net.

The Rutgers libero is pretty dynamic. She's had a good match so far. Rutgers getting their hands on a lot of badger swings.

Never said this before, but pretty impressed with Rutgers and their defense. They have had some monster digs.

Rutgers is playing well. This isn't hard to watch. I'm also impressed by the defense.
Somehow the badgers are hitting over 0.300. It doesn't feel like it.

25-18 badgers. On a Haggerty kill.
Badgers had 4 blocks and 5 service errors.
Rutgers hit 0.143, which is pretty much the average that Purdue and Illinois managed. They look a lot better. We'll see if it holds up.
