Nebraska sweeps Wisconsin in dominant road win

No. 2 Nebraska heads into its highly anticipated showdown with No. 7 Wisconsin on Nov. 1, bringing a 20-1 record and a defense that has been pivotal this season.

Key to that defensive strength is sophomore middle blocker Andi Jackson, who just received her second Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honor after leading Nebraska to wins over Illinois and Michigan. Jackson, alongside teammates Rebekah Allick and Lexi Rodriguez, highlights Nebraska’s continued dominance in weekly defensive honors this season, which the Huskers will read on as they face a formidable Wisconsin offense led by Sarah Franklin.

This matchup between Nebraska and Wisconsin is a storied Big Ten clash, recognition with both programs vying for national and conference supremacy. Each side boasts a deep roster of stars, with Nebraska’s Bergen Reilly leading the offense with 799 assists and Wisconsin’s Charlie Fuerbringer at the helm for the Badgers. The rivalry between these two powerhouses only intensifies the stakes as the Huskers look to avenge last year’s sweep by Wisconsin that ended Nebraska’s undefeated season.

With Franklin, Beason, Booth, and Jackson all stepping onto the court, fans can expect a high-caliber showdown that could impact both the Big Ten standings and national rankings. Tune in as Nebraska aims to keep its perfect conference record and Wisconsin looks to make a statement at home.
