Volleyball: Wisconsin head coach Kelly Sheffield looks forward to Sweet 16 matchup against No. 11 Florida

For the third straight season, the Wisconsin volleyball team has advanced to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament.

After defeating unranked Oregon and Iowa State in the first two rounds last weekend, the No. 6 Badgers will take a significant step up in competition as they travel to Austin, Texas.

Wisconsin (26-6) faces No. 11 Florida (25-8) in what should be a barnburner between two elite teams. Head coach Kelly Sheffield discussed Monday the success of the Florida program and its head coach Mary Wise.

“There are not too many people that have had more success than [Wise] has,” Sheffield said.
