It took five excruciating sets for the Minnesota volleyball team to dispatch Wisconsin, but the Gophers battled through and put a lid on the Badgers’ comeback with an emphatic 15-11 fifth-set victory.
The end result came after the Badgers’ repeated and inspired rallies ultimately fell short through each losing set. Proving they couldn’t overcome a plethora of errors and that playing from behind for much of the match ultimately took its toll.
However, it did prove to be one of the more entertaining matches Wisconsin has found themselves in all season.
“I thought that was a helluva college volleyball match right there,” UW head coach Kelly Sheffield said.
