Volleyball: #7 Huskers Quiet Wildcats

Friday night saw the #7 Nebraska Huskers Women’s Volleyball Team return to the Bob Devaney Sports Center after three road tests. The Huskers hosted the Northwestern Wildcats on Friday night. Nebraska made quick work of Northwestern 3-0 (25-20, 25-15, 25-12).

Northwestern struck first, but Nebraska answered back immediately and Wildcat errors had the teams trading points early. However, Northwestern took a 4-2 lead early in set one.

Really, Northwestern came out strong, issuing an early statement to the Huskers that they were not going to be a doormat. The Wildcats came in receiving votes in the AVCA Coaches’ Poll , and played like they wanted to be in the rankings, taking a 6-3 lead early.

Nebraska tied the score at eight at the start of their second rotation, with the opening server, Annika Albrecht back on the service line. A clever, deceptive play by Kelly Hunter for a kill on the next point made the score 9-8 Nebraska and resulted in a Northwestern timeout.
