In addition, the Badgers also features some key players, including Sarah Franklin, Anna Smrek, Carter Booth, and CC Crawford among others. These players make sure to lighten up every match. However, the consistent position is not only maintained through practice but also through strategical support. In an exclusive interview with UW Badgers, Kelly Sheffield said, “We served a lot better as the match went on. The first two times around, we put a lot of balls on their platforms… They had a lot of options. As the match went on, our serving was really good. We drove them, we dropped them, we moved them around and that makes blocking easier.”

Till now, Wisconsin’s Badgers have secured an impressive score of 1595 points in various matches. However, they face tough competition from Nebraska’s team, as they are currently in the second position with 1537. Conversely, the team also has a record of 15-0, which sets it apart from the rest of its competitors.
