Husker volleyball notes: No. 1 Wisconsin, No. 4 Nebraska will play key Big Ten volleyball series | Volleyball



Serve-receive was difference in win: How much better was Nebraska in the area of serve-receive from a Friday night loss to No. 5 Minnesota to sweeping the Gophers on Sunday?

Cook, the former high school football coach, of course, has a football analogy for that.

“It would be like a football team rushing for 100 yards Friday night, and we rushed for 300 on Sunday morning,” he said. “That would be the difference.”

Nebraska’s players who handle most of the passing are libero Kenzie Knuckles, defensive specialist Keonilei Akana and outside hitters Madi Kubik and Lexi Sun.

Cook says none of Nebraska’s passers can be singled out for helping the Huskers improve in that area.

“It’s a group thing because if somebody starts struggling and gets tentative it affects everybody,” Cook said. “With the passing group, you have to have everybody working together and knowing who has what ball and having great communication. And when any part of it breaks down it breaks down everything.

“They did a great bounce-back Sunday. And that’s how we’ve been passing in practice. We’ve been doing really well. So it was good to see that, and they know they can do it in a match against a good team and good servers. It was the same servers as Friday night, so it’s just a mindset.”
