Volleyball: #7 Huskers Steamroll #22 Boilermakers

On Friday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, the #7 Nebraska Cornhuskers played host to the #22 Purdue Boilermakers in the first of four straight home matches for the Huskers. The Huskers took the match over a tough Boilermaker team 3-1 (25-22, 21-25, 26-24, 25-23).

The Huskers started the scoring, going up 2-0 right off the bat, but the Boilermakers answered and tied the score at 2. From that point, Nebraska opened up a 3-point lead at 6-3.

Purdue closed to within one at 6-5, but Nebraska held onto that slight advantage through a few points that looked, frankly, somewhat sloppy. It wasn’t until the score was 9-8 that Nebraska put together another run to take an 11-8 advantage.

The Boilermakers again closed to within a point, 12-11, but couldn’t stay close as the Huskers scored two in a row to open the gap to three again, 14-11. At the media timeout, the Big Red held a 15-12 lead.
