Wisconsin volleyball ready for Friday’s showdown with Nebraska

MADISON, Wis. — There’s a lot on the line Friday night for the Badger volleyball team.

If Wisconsin beats Nebraska, Kelly Sheffield would win his 500th match and UW would win their third straight Big Ten championship.

Sheffield says he’s more focused on the latter and knows his team will be ready to perform.
