surface area to [Music] [Applause] attack nice catch over and anded De Beer [Music] there miss hit from the right side by Mal the players during the warm-up was really cool Anna deir and Sarah Franklin between these two matches here tonight so we thank everybody for the access to take us onto the court [Applause] [Music] beer oh dein Robinson hanging in the air to get the point L the shoemakers on for Wisconsin as well getting some time here in the first set cresy on the slide Franklin with the Dig and then the back row attack from Franklin tied at the Nets nice jot by deir getting in there not letting that second contact go over the net which would have resulted in a double contact loock to De Bear for the point Looper pretty sure that got a piece replay on Glock sets it for Looper no doubt this time hang on kindergart well she was eight so third grade wait third grade correct that's off hands and Wisconsin has a set point chip game nice save lville called in the net and that's how the first set will end so the cards in the net way but Wisconsin has also utilized a true freshman Setter before Lauren Carini was an excellent Setter Sydney hilly had a lot of success of the ABCA first ve showcase here with four top 10 teams enjoy it because this kind of opportunity doesn't come around off Orel misses the mark this time service air for Wisconsin won that Unforgettable match in five the card's only loss of the Season ball still up not for long SM thought for sure it was touch she is making a convincing argument to Kelly Sheffield and he will go to the green card so his coaching staff's telling him that ball was down where Louisville pancaked it and kept the ball in play his players on the quarter telling him there was a touch on the [Music] Block looks like they challenged the touch so they're challenging the touch if you weren't with us for our first match they are using all in the interest of getting the call right but also just keeping play moving that's the great thing about volleyball it moves at such a fast pace you don't want to lose the momentum for the interest in the fard goes the long way to Franklin good attack there great here yes back to business oh nice nice up what a kill too or what a [Applause] [Music] hit well after some sloppy play from the service us because we need to be able to utilize our DS's Craig Skinner in match one he felt the same way so I'll be curious to see how many coaches across the country turn to the two Libo rule that they're now allowed to utilize you have to have depth in that position cool uncomfortable type of person Sarah Franklin serving W with Wisconsin hoping to go out on top co- Captain for this team Booth with the kill is the cters and now to a 5-1 this year you saw fer are already with 20 assists as we play here set two and Louisville gets to 15 so when you come off the court it's like okay here's what I'm seeing and that's been a constant theme that we've seen between those two Wisconsin Here Comes Louisville defens for Louisville they need to pay attention to that so they stay home a little bit more disciplined defensively six nothing run you heard Dan for this Wisconsin team third season with the Badgers after two years with Kansas [Applause] [Music] Franklin well that's another asset for furer that was can you side out and get back to finishing this thing so you can tie it up one a piece going into intermission boin gives it back overall get that ball up in play heck of a swing into the beer Looper serving for the set and a point wasn't a hit down it was just thrown down for Cabo finger setting the pace with the 22 assists in the first two sets 11 assists a set excellent average for the freshman in view Robins thought it was down it's not called down yet what a save cressie this one's down and Louisville gets the first point of set three [Applause] Franklin with a big swing Louisville ready for it great save by glock deir with the over set back for smre blocked by Louisville great defense by the Cardinals incredible defense here by Louisville just to keep this ball in play No Fear any body part will M well I'll take any body part as long as the ball goes up tied up the net cresy pulls it off for De Beer here's Looper [Applause] Robins berer to Franklin good set and the Kill by Sarah [Music] Franklin Cabo what an angle that is so sharp yes but I still think establishing your middle can really open things up on the pin there is is her another [Applause] one Robinson again Ellie Glock on to [Music] serve Robinson Again Louisville works the middle they've had Wisconsin tied at 10 even at a set a piece here at the KFC Yum Center smre up high got the points for serving at the beer here's Looper Glock sets the middle again for Cressy I would run her every single time okay car Cressy told you she could do something other than just Kill from the middle Robbins at the net for Louisville out of the scramble Wisconsin five attacker we've seen her throw down once we've also seen her attack approach as if she's going to hit on the second contact over oh [Applause] ler time out with the Freshman [Applause] Cabo Franklin hammers at home point with air for a while buddy FBR [Applause] her De Beer nope that's going to be a Scott serves for [Applause] Louisville that won't clear the net and the point goes to the cards it's not impressive from Anna De Beer but she's doing other things to impact this game blocking serve receive serving extremely well eight digs that service run in the second set was key when Louisville went on the 14 service errors now for Wisconsin Franklin hammers it right down on Glock for the point out of so difficult to execute so high level from Franklin Looper keeps it in play deir bumps it over over Franklin Scott for Looper Point Louisville they say there was a touch on Wisconsin Wisconsin says no touch Kelly Sheffield making the slow walk over to the challenge C he will show it and we will go to replay to see if Wisconsin had a touch here on this attack by Louisville that's the second time charity Looper been certain there's a call attack the [Music] [Applause] blocker bler Franklin oh clock got the arm up just in [Music] time Orel on the attack she's up in the front row right now and [Music] gu to Ken set for dear Elena Scott serving for the set oh what a play by Robinson just to keep it alive but only for a second and Louisville has won backto back sets here on their home floor the KFC Yum Center 20 also with eight kills deir with seven Maldonado with six kills and Rees Robbins with four first point of the fourth set sm7 now the total for the two teams smre has it blocked back but out of play point for the Badgers they combin 16 kills for the Louisville midds here in the season opener go to the outside to Looper Franklin dug out by deir set back for Robbins who put a lot on that one and gets the oral saved it bouncing around still controlled by Wisconsin miscommunication for the moment for l but they're still in [Applause] it Franklin off hands deir Looper big swing from charity Looper Point Louisville stop letting Louisville dictate the tempo of the game because right now Wisconsin feels like they're very reactive Holly agreed I think they're playing behind in most plays playing on the defensive side and all your attackers for the most part are older veteran players another point for in other pieces other than Anna deir a Kill from Maldonado Diaz goes to De beer goes to malado Diaz and gets the point that the match is over Scott to Franklin Franklin dug out by Scott Point Wisconsin Carter boo stays aggressive that's a tough ball to play Oh coach toin came flying in to keep it alive Cressy she needs to get her a little bit higher if she's going to be able to actually take a swing tough set there who 66 that is the growing pains in the evolution the more reps the better you get and you're getting those reps tonight against the number three team in the country by the way team that's on the short list to compete for a national championship in Wisconsin [Music] goodr to bear with the orzel robins denied blockers you got to recognize that you got to send that to a pin in that instance especially because she's established the middle now they know it's coming exactly and then you can go to the pit fourth set here at the KFC Yum Center opening night of the 2024 college volleyball season Louisville and Wisconsin in a tight one and Reese [Applause] [Music] Robbins smre over her shoulder Looper oh big block Wisconsin that size is so impressive they use it well [Music] there set to Franklin Kong that's still up good defensive play by Wisconsin that was Dam Looper Orel dug it Franklin swings Looper Dam smre off the net Looper denied by Boo and smre orzo keeps it going Franklin blocked down smre blocked Point Louisville what a rally [Music] [Applause] Franklin you wonder how much lift there is in the legs of play there's a for them to check the bolt six technology to see if it's in or out and the call is in we still have a little drama here with this technology I kind of like here is Elena Scott good serve really good serve free ball for [Applause] Louisville and a point for louville back or gu will set in transition and they got what they want out of it we didn't actually get
