Big 12 challenging Huskers
The Nebraska volleyball team is now 4-0 in Big 12 play. In the past, those four wins might have been sweeps. It's different this year. The Huskers have won all four of their Big 12 matches 3-1.
The Huskers were in danger at Iowa State Saturday. The Cyclones very nearly won the third set to take a 2-1 lead. Who knows what would have happened if Christy Johnosn's team had done that. We might now be talking about the Huskers' first loss of the season.
But Nebraska held on. This year's team is nothing if not resilient. Next up Wednesday is a road match at cellar-dweller Texas Tech and a match Saturday at the NU Coliseum against Colorado. We may see a sweep or maybe even two this week.
