On Thursday, Wisconsin welcomes Marquette to Madison for the 15th time in program history, where the Badgers hold a 13-1 edge. Last season, the Badgers faced the Golden Eagles in front of a 10,020 crowd at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, completing a three-set sweep.

Friday's match marks the 21st time Wisconsin and Milwaukee will face each other in Madison where the Badgers hold a 18-2 edge. Wisconsin last played against Milwaukee in September last year, where they completed a three-set sweep at the Field House.

Last weekend, Wisconsin took to the Lone Star State where they split the weekend 1-1 against a pair of Texas opponents.

The Badgers kicked off Friday in College Station, where they completed a five-set victory over No. 19 Texas A&M. Wisconsin totaled 17.0 blocks for a new season-high, also the first time where the Badgers achieved double-figure blocks this season. Defensive specialist Kristen Simon paced the backcourt, nearing a career-high with 24 digs across the five-set match. Setter Charlie Fuerbringer neared her first collegiate double-double with an eight kill, 43 assist and 19 dig performance.

On Sunday, the Badgers capped off the weekend falling to No. 9 Texas in four sets. Despite the loss, Fuerbringer continued to be a staple at setter, tallying her 22nd career double-double with 42 assists and 15 digs. Libero Anna Bardaro also recorded her fifth double-figure dig total this season with a team-high 17 digs.
