Volleyball: Wisconsin gets off to quick start to sweep Indiana

The University of Wisconsin women’s volleyball team (11-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat the Indiana University Hoosiers (11-4, 1-1) in three straight sets to win their first conference match at home and continue their 11-game winning streak on Sunday.

The game was dedicated to former UW volleyball coach Steve Lowe, who died of cancer in 1991, just a few months after leading the Badgers to their first conference championship in program history, according to UWBadgers Insider.

Before the match started, senior outside hitter Sarah Franklin and fifth-year setter Izzy Ashburn were recognized for their recent achievements — Franklin having reached 1,000 career kills and Ashburn having broken the program record with 167 aces in her career.
