On Saturday the No. 4 Badgers swept Florida Gulf Coast University 3-0 to advance in the NCAA Tournament.

Grace Loberg led the way for UW with 15 kills, followed by Julia Orzol who had 12. The Badgers were able to hold off a scrappy FGCU team that came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas Tech University in the first round of the tournament.

The Badgers are 11-7 all time in regional semifinals. UW has advaned to the regional finals the last three seasons in a row.

Wisconsin will play their next match on Thursday at 4 p.m. against UCLA. Prior to that match Baylor and Minnesota will play at 2 p.m. and the winner of both of those matches will meet on Saturday at 7 p.m. for the regional final.
