The UNC volleyball team completed the toughest portion of its regular season schedule on Saturday night at Carmichael Arena, as it suffered a 3-0 (20-25, 13-25, 17-25) loss to the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

This loss came just one night after the Tar Heels (0-2) were also swept by No. 3 Minnesota, representing the only time all year the Tar Heels are slated to play a pair of top five teams on back-to-back nights.

Lauren Harrison led UNC with 12 kills in the match, but no other Tar Heel managed to pick up more than seven.

Wisconsin (2-0) dominated the majority of the proceedings, finishing the night with a whopping five service aces and a hitting percentage of .450.
