  • Junior middle Jasmine Stackhouse had three blocks against the Badgers, moving her season total to 118 and into eighth place for most in a single season in the Rutgers record book.

THE MOMENTS

  • Set 2 | Rutgers' blocking unit was strong in the second set, when two straight – a Stackhouse/McLetchie combo and a Balyko solo job – started a 3-0 rally for a 6-4 lead.
  • Set 2 | Balyko assisted kills by McLetchie and freshman outside hitter Tali Marmen during a 5-1 run to tie the set at 13-13. Freshman middle Merle Weidt's kill kept it tied at 15-15 before Wisconsin used an 8-2 spurt to pull away.
