Key to that defensive prowess is sophomore middle blocker Andi Jackson, who just received her second Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors after leading Nebraska to wins over Illinois and Michigan. Jackson, along with teammates Rebekah Allick and Lexi Rodriguez, highlight Nebraska’s continued dominance in weekly defensive accolades this season, which the Huskers will lean on as they face a formidable Wisconsin offense led by Sarah Franklin.

This matchup between Nebraska and Wisconsin is a legendary Big Ten clash, with both programs battling for national recognition and conference supremacy. Each team features a host of stars, with Nebraska’s Bergen Reilly leading the charge with 799 assists and Wisconsin’s Charlie Fuerbringer at the helm for the Badgers. The rivalry between these two powerhouses only raises the stakes as the Huskers look to avenge last year’s win over Wisconsin that ended Nebraska’s undefeated season.

With Franklin, Beason, Booth and Jackson all taking the field, fans can expect a high-caliber showdown that could impact both the Big Ten standings and the national rankings. Watch as Nebraska looks to maintain its perfect conference record and Wisconsin looks to make a statement at home.
