Volleyball: #3 Nebraska Starts B1G Play Hosting #18 Michigan

The conference season started for the Huskers with a tough test as the #18 Michigan Wolverines traveled to Lincoln to take on the Huskers.

B1G play started for the #3 University of Nebraska Cornhuskers Women’s Volleyball Team on Friday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The night featured sisters competing against one another as Nebraska’s back-up setter Brooke Smith’s sister, Natalie, plays DS for Michigan. Brooke left with bragging rights as the Huskers beat the Wolverines 3-1 (25-19, 25-27, 25-17, 25-12).

Nebraska came out strong in the first set, opening an early 7-2 lead before Michigan tied the score at 8. The Huskers then opened the score up to a three point lead at 14-11.

The Big Red couldn’t hold that advantage long, but Michigan never closed the gap. They got to within one at 16-15 Huskers, but Nebraska then pushed the lead to as much as five at 20-15. While Michigan closed the gap again, they could never get closer than two, and the Huskers took set one 25-19.
