Wisconsin volleyball: Strong serving day helps Badgers sweep Arizona

Thursday night in Madison, Wisconsin, the Badgers had more aces than movie theaters streaming Top Gun last summer.

That serving onslaught helped the Badgers (6-0) sweep the Arizona Wildcats (3-4) 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-20) in a much needed quick win after some grueling five-set matches.

Graduate transfer Temi Thomas-Ailara tied a school record for a three-set match with six serves as the Badgers combined for 11 aces with just 10 service errors.

Head coach Kelly Sheffield said after the match the servers were a real weapon for the Badgers tonight, but while the aces were important, the tough serving helped get the Wildcats out of system on offense.
