The Lady Bulldogs of Alabama A&M received an automatic bid to the 2002 NCAA Volleyball Tournament when they defeated Alcorn State at the SWAC Volleyball Championship Tournament November 15,2002.

On December 6, 2002, facing a team ranked No. 14 in the nation by the American Volleyball Coaches Association, the Wisconsin Badgers beat Alabama A&M at Wisconsin 30-17, 30-13, 30-15 in the first round of play, in a match that lasted just over an hour.

The Lady Bulldogs held only one lead, at 3-2 in the first game, and no Alabama A&M player registered double- digit kills. Kneckie Stallsworth led the team with eight. In all three games, the Lady Bulldogs were trailing by at least nine points by the time Wisconsin reached 20.
