The University of Wisconsin volleyball team defeated Iowa for the 21st straight time Sunday, but the outcome’s meaning was far from routine.
The 10th-ranked Badgers (10-1 overall, 2-0 Big Ten Conference) not only climbed into a first-place tie with No. 4 Penn State in the league standings, but UW coach Pete Waite surpassed John Cook as the winningest coach in program history.
