Wisconsin held match point up 14-12 in the fifth set. Florida needed to rattle off two-straight points to force overtime where a team had to win by two.
Setter Marlie Monserez passed the ball to outside hitter T’ara Ceasar too close to the net. The only option available to her was to swing into the Wisconsin’ Dana Rettke and Sydney Hilley block and attempt to ricochet the ball off their arms.
