NCAA Volleyball Tournament Second Round: #5 Nebraska Mauls Washington State

For the second round of the 2017 NCAA Volleyball Tournament, the Bob Devaney Sports Center was the venue as the #5 Nebraska Cornhuskers took on the Washington State Cougars. The Huskers had beaten Stony Brook the previous night 3-0, and Washington State had knocked off Florida State 3-1, to advance out of the first round. The Huskers advanced to the regionals with the 3-0 (25-13, 25-13, 25-18) win over the Cougars.

Nebraska took the first four points of the match to force an early Cougar timeout. Washington State outside hitter Taylor Mims, who had 28 kills the night before, accounted for two of those Husker points hitting balls into the net.

The point after the timeout also fell Nebraska’s way to give the Huskers a 5-0 lead before Washington State could get on the board. That point sparked a 3-0 run for the Cougars that put them right back in the fight for the first set.

Nebraska scored to make the count 6-3 Huskers, but the Cougars kept fighting and closed the score to 7-6 with the Huskers clinging to the lead.
