The Cyclones will finish the spring season with a pair of matches against teams who were among the final eight alive for last season's national championship. The Badgers spring has revolved around replacing three-time First Team All-American setter Lauren Carlini and two-time All-American middle blocker Haleigh Nelson. However, the Badgers, whose 2016 ended in the Regional Final to eventual national champion Stanford, return plenty of talent, led by 2016 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Molly Haggerty and All-Big Ten middle blocker Tionna Williams.

Minnesota made its second-straight Final Four last season, losing to Stanford in the National Semifinals. Though AVCA National Player of the Year Sarah Willhite has graduated, the Gophers return another First Team All-American in setter Samantha Seliger-Swenson. Seliger-Swenson is one of three returning All-Americans for the Gophers, as they also feature middle blocker Molly Lohman and outside hitter Alexis Hart.
