Wisconsin volleyball: Badgers overcome first set loss to beat Georgia Tech 3-1, advance to Sweet Sixteen

After letting the opening set slip through their fingers, No. 2 Wisconsin bounced back to win three straight to defeat the No. 7 seed Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 3-1 (25-27, 25-20, 25-23, 25-21) to advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.

Senior outside hitter Sarah Franklin had a huge night for the Badgers, scoring a double-double with 20 kills and 10 digs while hitting .294.

Wisconsin got off to a strong start in the opening set and looked to be cruising over a Georgia Tech team coming off a five-set battle in their first match with Tennessee.
