The 10th-ranked Washington volleyball team made its 2019 debut at Alaska Airlines Arena on Saturday night before its biggest crowd for a home opener, 3,788 fans. The Huskies completed a home-and-home sweep of ninth-ranked Wisconsin 25-20, 25-20, 25-14.
The Huskies (9-1) had a .457 attack percentage, the UW’s highest since a .478 mark in the 2017 NCAA first round against LIU-Brooklyn.
Senior Kara Bajema had 19 kills for the second match in a row against Wisconsin, this time hitting .515 as she made just two errors on 33 attempts. Washington’s other two pin hitters, junior Samantha Drechsel and sophomore Claire Hoffman, were just as effective.
