NCAA Volleyball First Round: #5 Nebraska Sweeps Stony Brook

The first round of the 2017 NCAA Volleyball Tournament kicked off on Thursday night, but the first matches at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, NE were Friday night. The early match pitted the Washington State Cougars of the PAC-12 Conference and the Florida State Seminoles of the ACC. The Cougars advanced 3-1 (34-32, 25-14, 23-25, 25-13).

Nebraska made quick work of the America East Conference Champion Stony Brook Seawolves 3-0 (25-10, 25-14, 25-12) to set a Saturday night date with the Cougars at 7:00 PM at Devaney.

The second match of the night started with a Lauren Stivrins kill, a Kelly Hunter-Briana Holman block and then a Kenzie Maloney ace to give the Huskers a quick 3-0 lead. Stony Brook started their scoring by tooling the Husker block to make the score 3-1 Huskers.

Another 3-1 run by the Huskers led to the Seawolves’ first timeout of the set with the score 6-2 Huskers. Though Mikaela Foecke’s serve out of the timeout was errant, that was all the closer Stony Brook would get. Stony Brook used their second and final timeout of the set trailing 15-6.
