NU’s defense ‘showed out’ against the Spartans; Kubik, Krause power the attack | Volleyball



Freshman libero Lexi Rodriguez had 17 digs.

“She was just getting everything up,” Cook said.

Keonilei Akana added 10 digs, Nicklin Hames had nine and Kenzie Knuckles seven. Kayla Caffey had four blocks.

Nebraska had a .250 hitting percentage. Kubik led the Huskers with 10 kills and Lindsay Krause had nine. Kubik has led the Huskers in kills in four straight matches.

Lauren Stivrins started for the second straight match, after not playing for the first five weeks of the season. She finished with seven kills on .333 hitting.

With 31 assists, Hames moved up to fourth all-time for career assists at Nebraska.

Akana also was a difference-maker with her serving. In the first set Akana served a 6-0 run. She leads Nebraska with 16 ace serves.

“We call her K-thump, because she always goes on a serving run,” Kubik said. “She trusts her serve and always gets us in a good position.”

Akana is from Hawaii, but her family attended Sunday’s match. Her brother, Tausili, is one of the top football recruits in the nation and was in Lincoln for Saturday’s football game and Sunday’s match.

Now Nebraska will play a ranked team for the first time during the Big Ten season, and see where it stands with its new lineup and the addition of Stivrins.
