Volleyball: #4 Huskers Fall at #11 Wisconsin

The #4 Huskers’ Volleyball Team had a mid-week trip to Madison to take on the #11 Wisconsin Badgers on Wednesday night. The Huskers came in to the match on a seven-match win streak, including being 6-0 in B1G play. Wisconsin was riding a three-match slide. Nebraska dropped their first match of the B1G season 1-3 (16-25, 15-25, 25-17, 23-25).

Wisconsin went up 4-1 early, riding blocks by their 6’8” Freshman Middle Blocker Dana Rettke. Nebraska closed back to within one at 4-3. It was a long time before either team separated, as Wisconsin held the two-point serve advantage until the Badgers took the three-point lead at 10-7.

The Badgers opened that lead to 11-7 before Lauren Stivrins put an overpass down to sideout for the Huskers, but Wisconsin answered and then opened the lead up to five at 13-8.

Nebraska narrowed the gap a bit, but still trailed at the media timeout 11-15. Four of the five points after the timeout went Wisconsin’s way, and Nebraska Coach John Cook used the first Husker timeout trailing 12-19.
