MADISON, Wis. – The return of star setter Charlie Fuerbringer was exactly what the doctor ordered for No. 11 Wisconsin on Sunday (Nov. 9) afternoon. Boasted by the return of their fantastic sophomore, the top-15 Badgers rolled to an efficient sweep (25-13, 25-14, 25-20) over No. 18 Indiana at UW Fieldhouse. IU's winning streak of four games in conference play comes to an end.

From the jump, the Badgers played with a renewed energy against the Hoosiers. IU hit just .113 (35-21-124) on the afternoon against a stifling Wisconsin defense. Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager led the way with 14 kills on a game-high 45 attacks. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles had seven kills and now sits in a tie for tenth in program history (1,283).

IU's floor defense attempted to keep the team in the match in the third set. Freshman libero Avery Freeman led the way with nine digs. Six different players offered up at least five digs but IU couldn't find any answers for Wisconsin seniors Mimi Colyer (14 kills) and Carter Booth (11 kills, .733 hitting percentage).

Following IU's fourth road match of the year against a top-25 team, head coach Steve Aird's group will get an extended run of time at home. The Hoosiers' next four matches are all at Wilkinson Hall, beginning with a visit from Oregon on Friday (Nov. 14) evening. The stretch will take IU to the final week of the regular season.

How it Happened
• Wisconsin's offense moved at a lightning-speed pace with the return of sophomore setter Charlie Fuerbringer. She dished out 28 assists as. The team hit .351 with just six attacking errors. Six-foot-seven senior middle blocker Carter Booth had all the answers – providing 11 kills on 15 swings.

• The Badgers' floor defense was equally as impressive. They dug 56 balls in three sets, led by 15 from freshman libero Kristen Simon. Senior outside hitter Colyer had a double-double with 14 kills and 10 digs. IU tried to keep the match alive with defense of its own. The Hoosiers added three blocks and 45 digs but Wisconsin sided out at over 80 percent.

• Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager recorded a team-high 14 kills in the defeat at Wisconsin. It's her third-straight match with 14 kills and the seventh time in the last eight contests that she's gone for at least 10 kills.

• The Hoosiers recorded 45 digs in the three-set match. It's the fourth time this season that the team has had 45-or-more digs in a match that last just three sets. Six different players had at least five digs, led by nine from freshman libero Avery Freeman.
