The Wisconsin's volleyball team is heading to its third national championship game in program history — and in search of its first title — after upsetting No. 1 Baylor in four sets in the Final Four in Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

Accouding to our news partners at WISC-TV, the Badgers swept each of their opponents en route to the national semifinals — ended with a 27-25 first-set defeat to the Bears.

Saturday night against either Minnesota or defending national champion Stanford will be Wisconsin's first championship game appearance since 2013 (head coach Kelly Sheffield's first season) and third overall (2000). The Badgers lost both of those matches.
