The No. 14 Wisconsin volleyball team's first set of home matches this weekend yielded a trio of wins and a milestone victory for head coach Pete Waite, but completing the sweep was not an easy task.
The Badgers (8-1) soundly defeated Central Michigan (6-10) 25-14, 25-16, 25-19 and IUPUI (6-5) 25-15, 25-8, 25-8 in their first two rounds of the 2008 InnTowner Invitational before coming out on top of a 27-25, 20-25, 22-25, 25-22, 15-10 dogfight against No. 23 BYU (7-2) to close out the tournament.
Friday night's win against Central Michigan made Waite the 24th active head coach in Division I volleyball to earn 500 career wins, though his focus after the match was on surpassing that mark.
