Volleyball: Wisconsin sweeps Jackson State in first round of NCAA Tournament

NCAA Tournament play hit Madison yesterday, as the University of Wisconsin women’s volleyball team welcomed in three other opponents for the first and second round of the tournament. Northern Iowa University and the University of Miami kicked things off first, with the Hurricanes using a commanding 2-0 lead to eventually win the match 3-1.

Then, it was UW’s turn to begin their playoff run on their home court at the UW Field House. The No. 1 seed in their region took on Jackson State University, a team who used a magical run in their conference tournament to earn an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
