Volleyball: Huskers on to Round Three

Saturday night saw a familiar foe from the Big XII days visiting Devaney for the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskers knocked of the Missouri Tigers to advance.

The Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln hosted the second round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament on Saturday night and saw the host Nebraska Cornhuskers take on their old Big XII foe the Missouri Tigers. As happened so often in the Big XII days, the Huskers were again victorious 3-0 (25-14, 25-22, 25-18).

A long first rally ended with Mizzou scoring first. In fact, the Huskers looked somewhat out of sorts early, dropping the first three points before sophomore outside hitter Lexi Sun could find the floor and get the Huskers on the board.

The Sun point started a 4-0 Husker that gave the Huskers a 4-3 lead before the Tigers scored again. Missouri lost serve immediately, and the Huskers went on another 4-0, punctuated by a brutal middle attack by sophomore Lauren Stivrins off a beautiful one-handed set from freshman setter Nicklin Hames. That led to the first Tiger timeout of the opening set with the Huskers up 8-4.
