Volleyball: Huskers Fall in Top 5 Showdown in Lincoln

While the football team was on the road in Madison, the #3 volleyball team played host to the #5 Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Despite attempts earlier in the week to change the start time of the battle between top-five B1G volleyball programs failing, the #3 Nebraska Husker Women’s Volleyball Team hosted the #5 Minnesota Golden Gophers in front of a packed Devaney Center half an hour after the start of the football game. The match lived up to the hype, but the Huskers were on the losing end on this night, 1-3 (20-25, 25-23, 14-25, 21-25).

The first set started slow for the Huskers, with Minnesota opening a 5-1 lead in the first part of the first set and extending it to 7-2 before Nebraska used their first timeout.

Lauren Stivrins found the floor with a quick attack out of the timeout, but Minnesota answered with a kill of their own to hold the lead. However, Nebraska responded and then a service run by Mikaela Foecke brought the Huskers to within two with the score 8-6 Gophers.
