Hawks looked awfully flat in Madison today. Wisconsin started out serving poorly, and game 1 was there for the taking. But Hawks couldn't capitalize and Wisconsin's blockers started to make their presence felt, killing our volleys.
Things snowballed from there. Our hitters got flustered at the net, kill attempts started going long, aces started hitting the floor, and Wisconsin won every long volley. 6'8" Dana Radke was much improved from her freshman year, more accurate with her kills, always a force on defense, looked to be stronger and in better physical shape. It was a tough day for the Hawks in Madison.
