Over the past few weeks, a new star has emerged from the nationally ranked Wisconsin women’s volleyball team.
Redshirt junior Romana Kriskova has allowed the Badgers’ top notch attack to reach another gear and is hoping to help push Wisconsin to another Big Ten title.
Averaging 2.36 kills per set and ranking third in hitting percentage, Kriskova is not afraid to take matters into her own hands on the court. But the 6-foot-2 outside hitter from Bratislava, Slovakia knows that although she may be soaring above the net now, she could barely walk 10 months ago.
Kriskova’s collegiate career started at Virginia Commonwealth University, where she was an immediate presence for VCU’s volleyball team.
