With the conclusion of the past weekends ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Anne Kordes’ volleyball team sits on a 2-3 record. All three losses have been to Big Ten opponents, sixth-ranked Illinois, Minnesota and thirteenth-ranked Wisconsin, in that order.
With seven programs ranked in the top 25 of the nation, the Big Ten is widely agreed upon as one of the nation’s volleyball power conferences.
Despite the unsatisfactory results of the matches, Louisville has faced three tough programs very early into the season. Facing such Big Ten opponents has provided Louisville with an opportunity to gauge itself against top competition.
