Wisconsin Badgers volleyball falls to Penn State without star setter Charlie Fuerbringer

Penn State’s Kennedy Martin outshines Wisconsin’s Mimi Colyer as high-profile transfer additions face off

No. 19 Penn State defeated No. 7 Wisconsin in three sets, ending the Badgers’ 10-match winning streak.
Penn State transfer Kennedy Martin outperformed Wisconsin’s Mimi Colyer, recording 23 kills.
Wisconsin struggled offensively without injured star setter Charlie Fuerbringer, hitting an uncharacteristic .151.

Penn State’s Rec Hall continues to be one of the harder places for Wisconsin volleyball to win.

The seventh-ranked Badgers experienced that again on Oct. 10 as they suffered a three-set loss to No. 19 Penn State, 25-20, 25-21, 25-16, which snapped their 10-match winning streak. Penn State, meanwhile, gained some momentum and a quality win for its postseason résumé after losing two of its previous three matches.

Penn State is now 28-3 all-time against Wisconsin in matches at its historic Rec Hall. Here are three takeaways from the loss:

In battle between two transfer stars, Kennedy Martin outshines Mimi Colyer

Both schools had high-profile transfer portal additions at outside hitter.

Wisconsin’s Mimi Colyer was a second-team All-American last year at Oregon. Penn State’s Kennedy Martin was a first-team All-American at Florida after leading the country in points per set.

As they faced off at Rec Hall, Martin clearly had the upper hand.

Martin finished the night with 23 kills while hitting .474. That included 10 kills during the first set — one more than Wisconsin’s entire team had at that point. She showed the ability to attack from a variety of places on the floor and did so with both power and finesse.

Colyer, on the other hand, struggled mightily against the Nittany Lions. She had eight kills while hitting .057, and both were season-lows. Wisconsin is now 0-2 when Colyer hits below .150. (The Oregon transfer also struggled at Rec Hall with the Ducks last year. She had two kills and five attack errors in that match.)

Wisconsin out of sorts offensively without star setter Charlie Fuerbringer

Wisconsin’s second loss of the season — and its first time even losing multiple sets since Aug. 31 — happened in the first full match without its All-American setter.

Charlie Fuerbringer exited the Oct. 5 match against Michigan with an apparent shoulder injury in the first set. The Badgers fared well without her for the rest of the match against the unranked Wolverines, but they ran into some more adversity against Penn State — the reigning national champion.

Fuerbringer’s absence coincided with the Badgers hitting .151 against Penn State, which was their lowest hitting percentage in a match since hitting .141 in the Aug. 31 loss to then-No. 5 Texas.

It was a stark contrast from UW’s NCAA-leading .333 hitting percentage heading into the Oct. 10 match. It also was significantly below Penn State’s opponents’ hitting percentage of .231 in its first 14 matches.

At one point in the first set at Rec Hall, Wisconsin had one kill versus four attack errors. Along with Colyer’s aforementioned struggles, fellow outside hitter Una Vajagic hit .048 in the match. Middle blocker Alicia Andrew hit minus-.286.

Freshman Addy Horner started in place of Fuerbringer, but assistant coach John Shondell noted that the issues connecting with UW’s outside hitters are “not on Addy.”

“That’s on first contact, and that’s on our hitters being smart, making good decisions and hitting shots they need to hit,” Shondell said on UW’s postgame radio show.

Fuerbringer was with the team on the sidelines. She was seen on the TV broadcast without wearing a sling, which she was wearing during the Michigan match.

Madison Quest was silver lining for Badgers

Wisconsin freshman Madison Quest was one of the few silver linings for the Badgers in their overall-uncompetitive outing.

The Pewaukee native — starting again in place of the injured Grace Egan at right-side hitter — had a team-high 10 kills while hitting .421.

The only other Badgers to hit above .100 were middle blocker Carter Booth at .444 and defensive specialist Aniya Warren with one kill on one attack — an overpass that found open real estate on the Penn State side of the court.

How many homes could be built in Northeast Wisconsin in 2026?

How many homes could be built in Northeast Wisconsin in 2026?

(Stacker) – Homebuilding plays a critical role in maintaining a steady housing supply and keeping prices at sustainable levels. As the U.S. population grows, more housing is needed to meet demand. Since the Great Recession, construction has lagged well behind what is needed, which is one of the main reasons home prices are so high today.

Supply has slowly increased over the past few years but is still below what is needed for the market to balance out. Until that gap closes, prices are likely to remain elevated, and many buyers will likely struggle to afford a home.

So, how many homes are getting built in Northeast Wisconsin in 2026? Is construction increasing or decreasing?

Redfin Real Estate analyzed the rate of housing permits issued in the cities of Appleton, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Oshkosh and Sheboygan over the past 13 months to find out.

Wisconsin multi-county police chase, 2 people from Illinois arrested

Wisconsin multi-county police chase, 2 people from Illinois arrested

article

Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office

FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. – Two people from Illinois were arrested following a police chase that started in Fond du Lac County and ended in Winnebago County on Friday, May 8.

Initial traffic stop

What we know:

According to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office, just after 1 p.m. the sheriff’s office got an alert for a stolen vehicle out of Illinois heading northbound on I-41 from County Road Y.

It was learned that the vehicle was involved in two different police chases in the past week in Illinois, but had eluded officers each time.

A short time later, a deputy spotted the vehicle on I-41 near Winnebago Street. The deputy continued to follow the suspect vehicle northbound, waiting for more deputies to get into position to attempt a high-risk traffic stop. Once those deputies were in position, a high-risk traffic stop was conducted. The vehicle initially pulled over and stopped, but right after deputies got out of their squad cars and started telling the people to get out of the vehicle, it instead fled northbound on I-41.

Chase into Winnebago County

What we know:

The chase went into Winnebago County, with the vehicle failing to pullover and instead speeding up. As the chase continued, the vehicle continued driving recklessly, passing by other vehicles on the interstate, including passing on the shoulder and weaving between vehicles, all at a high rate of speed.

The vehicle exited I-41 and ran three red lights. The chase continued southbound on State Highway 26, with the vehicle continuing to pass vehicles at a high rate of speed on the two-lane highway.

The vehicle then went off the road and drove through the yard of a home before circling around in the yard, traveling through the ditch, and reentering the highway going northbound. It then went into a field near County Road Z and Clay Road.

As a sergeant with the sheriff’s office was moving in to perform a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT Maneuver), the suspect vehicle went into reverse and rammed the front of the squad. The vehicle then attempted to leave the field by traveling through a ditch and back up onto the road, where another sheriff’s squad ended the chase by intentionally striking the vehicle and pushing it off the road and back into the ditch.

The vehicle rolled over in the ditch, came to rest upright, but was then disabled and could not move. Two people got out of the vehicle and were taken into custody. The vehicle started on fire and a fire department had to respond to extinguish the fire. Both people from the vehicle were evaluated by medical personnel on scene.
