Friday night had the script for a quintessential comeback story. The No. 4 ranked University of Wisconsin volleyball team faced the No. 16 ranked Florida Gators in the Kohl Center.
A crowd of 16,833 set the NCAA regular season record for attendance in a women’s volleyball game. The student section packed the north and south ends of the arena. The noise of the crowd was even more devastating than the rowdy Field House.
Beyond the optics of the game, the actual match was even better. Wisconsin lost the first two sets handily, as Florida controlled every aspect of the game.
