MADISON – Saige Damrow is heading to Nebraska, but not to the Cornhuskers.
The former defensive specialist/libero for the Wisconsin volleyball team announced her commitment to Creighton, the undefeated Big East champion based in Omaha.
The Bluejays (32-3) advanced to the Elite 8 this season before losing to eventual national champion Penn State in five sets.
The squad was led by three senior All-Americans, including libero Maddy Bilinovic. Damrow, a Howards Grove native, will be looking to replace her.
Damrow’s rookie season was cut short by a leg injury that kept her out of all but three matches. Damrow placed fourth on the Badgers this season with 2.24 digs per set and appeared in 19 of 33 games.
This featured a five-game stint as libero at the close of the regular season when freshman Lola Schumacher, the starter, was sidelined due to injury.
Damrow has three years of eligibility remaining.
