How did the Field House treat the Wisconsin Badgers last week?
L (3-2) vs. Marquette
Dana Rettke had match point on her howitzer of a fist in the 4th set. Marquette dug it. The Golden Eagles needed another set to confirm the victory, but after that point it was purely for show.
The Wisconsin blocking that was doing a stellar job at stymying Kaitlyn Lines and Allie Barber didn’t respond nearly as well when Marquette switched to Hope Werch after the intermission break.
The fact that it was a exciting, top-flight match that could have been an excellent Elite 8 or beyond matchup doesn’t medicate the hurt of the instate rival coming back from two sets down to win the match.
