Wisconsin volleyball: New arrival Sarah Franklin said Madison “second home,” hopes to help UW repeat

Sarah Franklin already made herself known across the Big Ten volleyball world.

The standout outside hitter from Florida was the key offensive force last season for the Michigan State Spartans, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors as she led MSU in kills per set with 3.96 — third best in the conference. The 6-foot-4 standout saved her best work for conference play, where she hit over 4 kills per set, including seven matches with more than 20 kills.

SPARTY PULLS OFF THE STUNNER!!!

@MichStVB picks up its first top-10 win since 2017 as Sarah Franklin’s match-high 25 kills paved the way for the 3-2 (25-16, 25-27, 25-23, 16-25, 15-10) upset of No.
