Wisconsin last played in the Kohl Center on Sept. 17 of last season, housing one of the largest crowds of the year in the nation against Marquette—besting the Golden Eagles in four sets. 

The Badgers are led by their captains, a pair of 2024 AVCA All-Americans, in senior Carter Booth and sophomore Charlie Fuerbringer, amongst a plethora of experienced transfers and newcomers to the 2025 roster. 

They recently defeated Notre Dame 3-1 in their lone exhibition match of the season, led by the likes of redshirt sophomore Grace Egan and senior Mimi Colyer.
