Cheridyn Leverette recorded a match-high 20 kills in UCLA's four-set defeat to No. 6 Wisconsin on Saturday night. The Bruins were unable to keep the visitors out of system after their victory in set one as the Badgers hit .430 collectively to win three consecutive frames. Wisconsin's Sarah Franklin racked up 19 kills at a .378 clip while Anna Smrek was extremely efficient, hitting .609 with 16 kills on the night.

"The day has finally come," said Martin Jarmond, The Alice and Nahum Lainer Family Director of Athletics. "After two years of planning and preparation, UCLA is proud and excited to join the Big Ten Conference. I am grateful for the energy and effort that has been put into shaping this pivotal move by our hard-working staff members, as well as our coaches and student-athletes. The investments we have made into our programs and student-athletes over the past 24 months have set us up to continue to compete at the elite level that defines UCLA Athletics."
