Here's how it happened: The match didn't take long for the teams to settle in. They came out slugging at each other and swinging hard with a lot of energy. Rettke's first swing was drilled down for the Badgers first point on the board. The Gophers then put together a 4-0 run, and it was looking like Minnesota might be able to take control. The Badgers responded quickly though with a run of their own to tie it at eight, and then they just kept going. Wisconsin racked up seven consecutive points before Minnesota was able to stop the run and make it 12-9. The Gophers kept the score decently close for the rest of the first set, taking a few points here and there from Wisconsin errors. But in the end, Danielle Hart, Molly Haggerty and a pair of Minnesota errors led the Badgers to a 25-18 win in the first set. @dana_rettke with the 🔨 She's hungry for waayyyy more than 1,000 😏#OnWisconsin pic.twitter.com/HMK6GNeHeK — Wisconsin Volleyball (@BadgerVB) October 13, 2019 The second set looked a little different. Wisconsin immediately made Minnesota scramble. They had three unanswered points to force Minnesota to take a time out with the Badgers ahead 12-7. Then, the Badgers started to dominate. Two kills from Haggerty and a kill by Rettke gave Wisconsin an eight point lead, and the Badgers kept piling it on. Samedy was quieter than normal for the Gophers. Wisconsin kept control, and ended up taking the set in a dominating fashion 24-15. WATCH: Stephanie Samedy discusses the Gopher's season In the third set, Wisconsin hit .474. Although at one point the teams were tied at nine, the Badgers were able to respond by going on a 4-0 run. Hart kept the Gophers alive, and then Samedy hammered in a few. But the combination of Rettke, Haggerty and Grace Loberg was just too much to handle. The set ended in a similar fashion to how the entire match went, with a Hilley, Rettke connection for the kill. The Badgers took the third 25-20.
