season for Louisville is in the air it's delivered by a freshman and the first point goes to L Kong for Scott charity [Music] Looper Carter boo kept it alive for the moment Cabo goes the long way a Looper set back and a spr hitter coverage very important Kong set Cabo and then put in and Wisconsin gets the right now in this matchup here's the Louisville freshman ferre with a quick set difficult attack to defend Julio Orel delivers for Wisconsin on top 3-1 there's a swing and that one is last year was Wisconsin's sixth trip to the National semi-finals the fourth time in the last five seasons that's how good they have been here is smre and it is off the Run by Oral five straight points now for Wisconsin Orel with the ace and she is locked in right now and going as she works back into the lineup yes and Kelly Sheffield told us that serving was going to be a big Focus for his team this year and they came out of theame to serve second season with Louisville standing year last year big swing defended well by Louisville denying Carter [Applause] Bo little off balance but I don't know if a lot of teams are going to do it gu gin comes on the surf she's in the Lio sweater but we just saw Sage damro on the court in the LI come in and be serving defensive grow so you can see right on Q here comes damro back in on server seed Franklin harder for Arizona seventh in the Pack 12 last year with three and a half kills a set and now louville pushing Scott with the Dig Scott bumps it over Franklin finds the opening percent yet but Sarah Franklin less 100% is still pretty good malalo Diaz with Robinson at the little too much on that surf way to Ellie Glock who was the primary Center a season go second Team all conference in the ACC for the Cs quick attack for Wisconsin's Sarah Franklin back to serve and it appear has been quiet so far blocked out of play in December when the national championship weekend is here in Louisville at the Y Center for a second time Binger goes back now she is loer on the Cordes and goes right after her going after charity Looper of Louisville that's return berer got there but Payton CA who won a national championship with the men's basketball team in 2013 a fan favorite in these parts what are some of the things that we should be watching for in her game what makes her special and different here for this Wisconsin team we'll G up a few minutes they've been running a club her entire life the Muno volleyball club and she's just grown up learning watching film and being around Wisconsin in control for the moment luk n Cabo from Claremont Florida comes on oh great save said that a time or two during Elena Scott's career great save Looper so they could play out of it then a service erir will end the moment first set that gave Wisconsin a lead on top by four here in set one off the block SM to attack nice catch to beer Scott sets it back for deir off the net deir deir Great Rally deir oh but it's not deir in the end who Miss hit from the right side by got our best people keeping track of it if anybody needs it it's probably Kelly Sheffield from Nebraska so he got out in the clear to beer oh Devin Robinson hanging oh there's the setter The Freshman furrer P the shoe markers on for Wisconsin as well getting some time here in the first set cresy on the slide Franklin with the Dig and then the back row attack from Franklin tied at the Nets nice job by deir getting in there not letting that second contact go over the net which would have resulted in a double contact block to De beir for the point on that outside not surprising that they spend the most time together on the court de serves to Franklin that one's going to be off replay on Glock sets it for Looper no doubt this time serve for the Cardinals Franklin finds the opening for the kill well she was eight so third grade wait third grade correct that's off hands and obviously the big block oh Wisconsin last year was first in division one and blocks per set at three% Reese Robbins gets a kill bber with the set to smre Louisville there to defensively alado Diaz in the championship game nice save de serves free ball and a point cresy two nothing movable for college volleyball to have the ABCA first serve showcase here with four top 10 teams enjoy it because this kind of opportunity doesn't come around often and better than ever Orel serving Robbins fer with the Dig wow Robin just got Oro misses the mark this time service eror 2021 Wisconsin won that Unforgettable match in five the card's only loss of the Season all in the interest of getting the call right but also just keeping play moving that's the great thing about volleyball moves at such a fast pace you don't want to lose the gum good point they are experiment in with the serve clock here it is not being enforced but it is here just to give everybody in the building and those on the court little feel for keeping things moving fing her to Franklin oh tipped over nicely done by [Music] m ferard goes the long way to Franklin good attack there last year's ABCA National Player of the Year and on the overpass Wisconsin will reset Franklin back row attack perard to Robinson on the right side great heads up playen got a piece of it but it's a yes back to business oh nice nice up what a kill too or what a hit well after some sloppy play from I think it' be one of the more difficult sets to make because yes you want to get it to her fast but you still have to get it up high for her so she can go over top of blocks Cressy fber with a quick set toze our DS's Craig Skinner in match one he felt the same way so I'll be curious to see how many coaches across the country turn to the two Lio rule that they're now to utilize you have to have depth in that position hand in hand right serve receive digs go straight to the setter and I feel like having your person leave the court and then come back on would be somewhat of a disruption just in terms of your mental of having your comfort comfortable type of person Sarah Franklin back to Robinson and this match as well four kills zero errors six attempts hitting 667 good save by Robinson keep the point alive for Wisconsin for fifth season with Wisconsin hoping to go out on top co- Captain for this team Booth with bring as a Setter according to Kelly shefford and you know this is such a a learning period for all of these teams playing right non-conference is a learning and feel out period and I'll be curious once we talk to Danny Busom Kelly when they get into ACC play what she thinks of the 62 are they still even in the 62 by that point as the Setters and now to a 5-1 this year you saw fer are already with 20 assists as we play here it's set two and moov that is happening in real time so when you come off the court it's like okay here's what I'm seeing and that's been a constant theme that we've seen between those came in last year during the NCAA tournament in big moments and provided production but she's also super energetic and so she can swing Crawford Long Time middle blocker for this Wisconsin team third season with the Badgers after two years with Kansas Franklins calm even when the pass gets the out of system 21 assists now for the fresh oh that got more of that and a lot less of that into the net so point for tie it up one a piece going into intermission roin gives it back good serve from The Freshman smre Point Wisconsin for the Badgers lying she would never do that tough one for Franklin to handle Cardinals have it deir Point Louisville gets that ball up and play heck of a swing from the beer Looper serving for the set and a point average for the freshman in view Robins thought it was down it's not called down yet what a save cresy and the bottom part that one goes long in that second set Franklin with a big swing Louisville ready for it great save by glock deir with the over set back for smre blocked by Louisville as long as the ball goes up tied at the net cresy pulls it off for deer here's Looper Robbins berer to Franklin good set and the Kill by Sarah Franklin that one Flo this program in his opinion in the last two seasons smick finds the opening gets the point cab angle to deliver that kill Franklin with the serve Cabo in stride the swing and that one floats long Looper put some pressure on Wisconsin's middle blockers they go outside to deir Carter poofed out of the line set up again by yes but it's still think establishing your middle can really open things up on the pin there is K with the serve to beir [Applause] ferer got there Cabo Maldonado Diaz sent back by Robinson Maldonado Diaz sent back and then finished by [Applause] Robinson Robinson in her younger days yeah not now Robinson when you're hot you're hot just keep feeding up to eight kills Cabo to deir deir again over pass fer ell Glock on to serve Robin Again Louisville Works pin to close block with the float there's ferer looking for the point now Robbins from the right side back from an ankle injury here is Orel good diving play by Looper to keep it [Applause] alive Orel counters with the dive for Wisconsin Franklin has it blocked Wisconsin still in the points rank has it blocked back it's Ed to bear back to serve Louisville and Wisconsin tied at 10 even at a set of piece here at the KFC Yum Center smre up high serving at the beer here's Looper Glock sets the middle again back oh chity catches the tape makes its way over okay car pry told you she could do something other than just kill from the middle Robbins at the net for Louisville out of the scramble Wisconsin off good serve from Cressy Looper read it well back for Robbins tough one for her in a tough throw down once we've also seen her attack approach as if she's going to hit on the second contact over oh ler there's not what happened that's going to be long and Louisville with Franklin the serve Looper called for it back that's [Applause] the fur Brer to beer nope here is gin to serve for Wisconsin set for Kong Robinson was ready there's the Lille attack on really really difficult oh deir looked like she was sometimes it's a reminder just to be disciplined low and tight over the net that's the most important move Scott serves for Louisville that won't clear the [Applause] net Frank Point Wisconsin freshman goes back to serve here in set [Applause] three to Bear DE again it's not impressive from Anna deir but she's doing other things to impact this game blocking serve receive serving extremely well eight digs hitters are all stacked on the left for Louisville so cresy comes from the right defensively you're seeing some creativity from ell Glock with these two hitters in the front row smre off the two sets to one and quality serves are going to be at a premium here when you're EXT service errors now for Wisconsin Franklin hammers it right down so high level from Franklin Looper keeps it in play deir pumps it over Franklin Scott for Looper here's Cabo oh big moment there the over pass Kong takes Franklin gets a point for Wisconsin bring the [Applause] backer Franklin oh clock got the arm up just in time gal on the attack she's up in the front row right now and a point for Wisconsin back to to Looper Wisconsin a CH chance to take the lead but Kong is there at the Looper serving for the set catches the tape and then a big rip from the right side Carter Co to Kin set for de bear Elena Scott serving for the set oh what a play by Robinson just to keep it alive but only [Music] for the be for the two teams smre has it blocked back but out of play point Orel Robins off hands that worked out well for L they combin 16 kills for the Louisville midds here in the season opener go to the outside the Looper Franklin dug out by deir set back for Robins who put a lot on that one and gets the point was a great back and forth with the crowd and anytime she steps on the floor and does something crowd's all over it Hong and Robins there on the Block teaming up again set for Kong furer to Franklin oh miscommunication Louisville there's going to be mistakes from the service line it's opening right on there's going to be mistakes from the service line Orel saved it bouncing around still controlled by Wisconsin miscommunication for the moment for Louisville but they're still in it Franklin off hands deir Looper will dictate the tempo of the game because right now Wisconsin feels like they're very reactive Holly agreed I think they're playing behind in most plays playing on the defensive side the mountain right now but it's interesting that comment there in that holl b pointed at his older players older veteran players Juniors for this Wisconsin team now granted the freshman's pretty good F Franklin to deir deir resets and then the block this one is off pieces other than Anna deir eight Kill from Maldonado Diaz [Applause] go to the beard goes to Maldonado Diaz and gets the point Scott to Franklin Franklin dug out by Scott point the more reps the better you get and you're getting those reps tonight against the number three team in the country by the way team that's on the short list Franklin with 15 kills to Pace Wisconsin point [Applause] four to bear with the that one goes long service ER come on to bear from the back row Orel Robins denied a run this is the front row that you want Devin Robinson Anna schre Sarah Franklin fer K alive here is SM there they are at the front big advantage to two massive blockers you got to recognize that you got to send that to a pin in that instance especially because she's established the set here at the KFC Yum Center opening night of the 2024 college volleyball season Louisville and Wisconsin in a tight one and Reese Robins cresy goes long with the serve gives a point took set one with ease Louisville took sets two and three [Applause] Franklin with the kill smre over her shoulder Looper oh Big Block Wisconsin that size which is what Louisville does so well

Looper Orel dug it Franklin swings [Laughter] Looper damro smick off the net Looper denied by Boo and smre orzel keeps it going Franklin blocked down SMR blocked Point Louisville Franklin gets the all of that is taken into account and by the way it's the first match of the Season we talked about the very start you start in the fast SL 171 17 in the fourth Franklin tied to turn it down Franklin you wonder how much lift they're big with this size yes even when they're not jumping at their highest they're still unbelievably high so You' think that Wisconsin has the advantage in terms of How High

the serve for Louisville ferer sends it back to Robinson and the block by the [Laughter] Cardinal they win it with the block and they open the season at home with the victory over Wisconsin
