Badgers sweep, play Friday in Madison for trip to Final Four

The University of Wisconsin volleyball team is a win away from a trip to the Final Four.

The Badgers will have to defeat Nebraska for a third time this season in order to do it.

That matchup, at the UW Field House, takes place at 5 p.m. today. Wisconsin has swept Nebraska 3-0 twice, already, this season.

In the regional opener, the fifth-ranked Badgers swept No. 25 Texas A&M Friday afternoon 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-23). Wisconsin (25-6) has swept every tournament match so far. Nebraska (28-4), ranked sixth, swept Hawaii on Friday, as well.
