The story of the 2024 Badgers Volleyball season thus far has been one of adversity.
The started the season 0-3 while many key players were suffering from injuries. They then lost their Big Ten opener at Minnesota to put themselves in a 0-1 hole in a conference race where you cannot afford to lose any matches.
Adversity returned for the Badgers last weekend when starting libero Lola Schumacher suffered a concussion in warmups at UCLA and DS Gulce Guctekin went to the bench with a recurring back injury.
The Badgers were 18-1 with Schumacher as the starting libero after she took over the jersey in the Baylor match the second weekend of the season.
