Wisconsin Volleyball Roster
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Badgers women’s volleyball team has released its roster for the 2023 season. The team is coming off a successful 2022 season, in which they finished with a 26-7 record and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
The Badgers return a number of key players from last year’s team, including first-team All-American Dana Rettke and second-team All-American Sydney Hilley. Rettke is a 6-foot-8 middle blocker who led the nation in blocks last season, while Hilley is a 6-foot-3 outside hitter who was second on the team in kills.
Other key returners for the Badgers include junior libero Lauren Barnes, senior setter Izzy Ashburn, and sophomore outside hitter Grace Loberg. Barnes is a two-time All-American who led the nation in digs per set last season, while Ashburn is a talented setter who runs the Badgers’ offense. Loberg is a rising star who was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year last season.
The Badgers also welcome a talented group of newcomers to the team this season. The most notable newcomer is transfer middle blocker Devyn Robinson, who was a first-team All-American at Penn State last season. Other newcomers include freshman outside hitter Sarah Franklin, freshman libero Ella Wrobel, and freshman setter Julia Orzol.
The Badgers are ranked No. 3 in the AVCA preseason poll and are expected to be one of the top teams in the country this season. They will open their season on August 25th against the University of Illinois at Chicago.
