Franklin out of the back row things that she can do with a maybe junk ball or tough ball to hit so impressive rer sends it off the block come on that should have gone out of system wins it over the top heringer back in her heels a little bit shef deep in thought 1410 in set three Frankl breaks in the big S halfway into her approach she said I know where this is going just missed it Serv here for the long mjust in midair for wenis Franklin hung in there dig to swing to a Skinner dig lenis right in front of f Brer by Five Points it tells you how back and forth it is Texas really taking control here in set three frankon misconnect in the middle back to Len who goes up with two and puts it away alter giving up her body on the D Robins against Louis sub out situationally for blocking getting Crawford in there Anderson running up to send it to Franklin L toight hter covers W again blocked again Robinson and Crawford Wisconsin trying to come back tied at one set a piece down five pass way off Target it earns a free ball chance Nia Bunton in the middle for Texas Chad series into the net in Texas thank Anderson setting for the first time in this match late in his third set and Texas extends that lead to seven the bigest for Texas so Skinner with 11 and a service Ace as Tex is cruising toward the Anderson sets boot alter over the net and back on her feet the B set for skin Seri second attempt on this point alter takes the second ball ni damr and all the way down to ear her team the B two sets to one oh man damro tripped up and it's a service Ace for wenis to end it Forex C graduate logo on her uniform already that's cuz she was in the SEC at Kentucky graduating there final year here his Texas transitions into that leagy Carlson starting out this set at we also saw Nia Bunton briefly for Texas at that spot three midd mixing in and a St from the middle of the M loss bring once Franklin it's blocked by single ter with the first ball back to Skinner and through that huge block of Wisconsin let him with four kills that last set Carlson says get out of my way away single t or runs it down free ball coming for Carlson in this Texas offense and Spinner almost put it down damro rushed in and smre sums it away wiconsin has to find a way to bringer for Franklin taking a heavy half he said I'll let those two arm wrestle for who has the heavier arm single Terry could that was up and down in a hurry right back to her more middle of the net on that setes out transition for Franklin noted Skinner with the short service and an ace Texas's game plan just kind of wear s I'm afraid of sank I don't oh take her I don't want to take her out of the game into the net for S we're seeing she's definitely close to it but 62 swings through barely three plus 10 points of a set that's way think that they need to get the right side involved just a little bit more we've seen that slide attack but sm's got to get going too right back to Franklin a sticks that Di and Lis almost down and Robinson back up back rose Skinner Deni Arana into Oro keep it up for Skinner with the off hand out of the back back to Robinson off speed and easy work for Ames to put that down Wisconsin the last two years have run a two Setter system back to the on Setter system this year MJ Hamill and Izzy ashing graduating in Rutherford crosscourt di every single set as it's gone on especially when we're talking about the offense off the block chip off for Robinson pulling on first and then Kelly jumps in with the strategy and the players are beckoning not to give up on their side for Wisconsin into the net for Robinson it was a some things to figure out he's less worried about the wins and losses more about the development early in the year learning is so important especially for young players like the Charlie fer as Texas put five kills in this set since then since we heard from Latasha family for the r the first making the first trip as a Texas there is heavy interest from Texas shows chose Kentucky first finds her way back home it's off hands and out point for Texas again recting story a lot like that he told Jerry she wasn't interested then they talked for an hour and a half and she was in back to that points for Texas Steam for Kentucky Jared Elliot not only a great recruiter of high school players but really when people enter the transfer portal you automatically know they're considering Texas that's s away that's Whitney longstein was a right side at Nebraska she's transitioning and training as a left side may be a replacement for Skinner when she goes on to play professionally next year this is good even watching do ser yest looks like found a new joy for the game Skinner runs that down Carlson sends it away great play for Texas all around single ter cat the 100 meter from spinner there whoa like 94 no watch outting her she wants to be the Caitlyn Clark of women's volleyball yeah they're really focusing on that marketing and that brand piece you know she you know good of a player she is and it's been fun to hear from her more personality standpoint she's so just looking for one and0 their opener this is the second match for Wisconsin trying to avoid an own two start tip for Skinner Herer runs it down Franklin off the net a minimum find some good feelings into their match against Stanford tomorrow we also be on Fox Matty skner balance for Texas in this match and Skinner finds another way to score with the ace 7 to2 in Aces Texas with the edge there at the service line Brin on that's the kind of fight that you want to see if you're respons shoeer to serve it for the Badgers Swindle back in setting and kill for Lis talking about that balance the way up to the net Swindle there to deny it bringing up match point a lot of Smiles in Austin with how the last two sets of gone on Match Point number one it's wenis knock her up Franklin right in the lap of wenis oh wenis back in the play sending the free ball Franklin not ready to be
