The University of Wisconsin volleyball team defeated Big Ten rivals Penn State University 3–1 Thursday night to advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
UW came out strong and were dominant in the first set. An early 5–0 run led by two kills apiece by middle blocker Carter Booth and outside hitter Devyn Robinson saw the Badgers gain an 8–3 lead that they never gave up. Booth’s three blocks and four total kills helped UW secure the first set easily — winning 25–11. The second set initially looked like it was going to be much the same.
