Corn Flakes: The Return of Ally B. and Rodriguez Defensive Player of the Week

Did you watch Nebraska volleyball play USC on Sunday night? The Huskers had another sweep of a ranked team, but that wasn’t the best part.

I felt like the best part was that Ally Batenhorst was back in Lincoln after transferring to USC. She had the best welcome back from the fans and you can see that the love from the team is still there. Even better, she had an awesome game and I remembered just how much I love to watch her play.

It looks like she found a great fit for her to be able to play all six rotations and she is flourishing.
