The field house was alive and electric today! The best I have seen this team play this season. 3 hitting errors for the match. Unheard of!

When the team clicks it's good enough to beat anyone as shown in against Penn State. Sarah, Anna and Julia were hitting very well and the service was great too. Charlie showing why she's an elite player who has potential to play in the Olympics.

wahooo Madison Quest wins her 3rd volleyball state championship!! First time any D1 school in Wisconsin has won 3 consecutive titles I saw Kristen Simon's team won state as well. I believe back to back. Does anyone know if any of the 2025 commits will be enrolling early? |

Hopefully they early enroll. Not sure when Franklin, Devyn, Anna, Julia and the rest of the graduating group leaves campus, but it would be great for Quest, Horner, Wardlow and Simon to play with them. Particularly Quest with Franklin and Wardlow w/ CC, Devyn and Anna.
How does it typically work with players who graduation in December? Will everyone be off campus before spring? Does anyone have eligibility for spring ball? Probably not?

Not sure if I have the right player but I think Dev enrolled early and was in on spring ball when she first arrived. |

OK, Badgers. Bonehead question from a Gopher here, but I watched some of the match yesterday, and at a certain point I got really confused because I feel like somehow all three of their middles were playing (Booth/Crawford/Robinson with Smrek then on the right)? I didn't pay close enough attention to see how they were doing the substitutions. Am I hallucinating?

I didn't pay close enough attention to see how they were doing the substitutions. Am I hallucinating? Booth was at one middle position, and Devyn and CC split time as the other middle. Sort of a 1.5 rotation for each, subbing directly for one another. Think of it as a CC for serve and defense, and Devyn for offense. Smrek is the opposite, but often hits or blocks from the middle, sliding back and forth. |
