MADISON, Wis. — Just how long a key piece of the University of Wisconsin volleyball program will be out still remained uncertain as of Monday morning.
Sophomore setter Charlie Fuerbringer, an AVCA third-team All-American last season, was injured and did not return during No. 7 Wisconsin’s three-set sweep over Michigan on Sunday. She currently sits second in the nation in assists per set (11.47) as the Badgers prepare for road trips to No. 16 Penn State and Maryland in the next six days.
“We still don’t know,” Sheffield said. “I mean, it’s kind of a freak thing, right? She goes up for the joust, which we’ve seen hundreds of times, but it’s amazing how many injuries in sports are kind of things that you see a bunch and then it just doesn’t turn out that way.
“But we’ll get a little bit more information this evening and see how long she’s out for. Hopefully, we’re talking weeks and not months, but we’ll see.”
Here are the other topics Sheffield discussed Monday with reporters:
